maybe we can finally open that park thats been doing nothing for 4 years on Maximo Gomez dedicated to Bolivar.....at last....we just have to put up with whats his name for a speech

Chavez confirms presence in Dominican Republic

0000

We already knows that, due the amount of Drugs arriving from Venezuela.

I wonder if policy makers notice his presence !!!!!

Funny how Chavez always has oil money to win friends an influence people (foreign), yet , the poorest Venezuelans lot has not improved all that much and the rates of violence and crime continue to rise. I supported this guy when I thought he was serious about breaking down economic, class and racial barriers that existed in Venezuela. I condemed the U.S./Miami-Cuban sponsered coupt attempt in 2002. Chavez sould stop trying to be the reincarnation of Simon Bolivar and stay out of other nation's affairs

You guys are going to piss the commie lovers off! Do NOT interupt their state of denial please!

Chavez will undoubtedly use this forum to blast tehColumbians for attacking his friends, the FARC. whom he has been supporting, according to reports, to the tune of US$300 million.
No doubt he will reiterate his denial of that allegation by Columbia and the n launch into a lengthy tirade against the "Imprialist US".
th bes way to handle this guy is to isolate him to the environs of Venezuela and not publish anything he says or does.
That'll drive this ego-maniac absolutely crazier than he is already.
He has madcap dreams of becoming the "dictator of South America".

TB

bill you bought into this guy?...breaking down class barriers....you supported him?....please...talk about feet of clay...now I understand the u in columbia.....

I suppose our resident commie will be unable to control his joy knowing one of his idols will be soon amongst us......I am suprised he has not checked in to demean this petit bourgeois group with his apparachik ramble.....running dog imperialists that we are

"As to Venezuela, its ambassador Francisco Belisario Landis said if President Hugo Chávez cancels his visit he would be one of the first to know, and that he would inform the media," DT reports.

oooo

The above doesn't exactly sound like a "confirmation." But the above is promising ... that more likely than not ... Chavez will show.

[The vicious and, worse, foaming-at-the mouth running dogs of US imperialism ... especially Canadian toilet paper roll carriers ,,, will likely recoil if Chavez shows.]

we are recoiling already....recoil.....recoil....recoil

Oh my God A photo shoot of frick and frack.

DR is emerging on the international political seen as it's economy continues to grow at phenomenal rates. It's good to see that DR is able to head such a great organization as the Rio Group and is able to attract the presidents of these Latin American countries to attend. I hope the DR continues to manifest itself as an important player in Latin American politics. This year's invite to the Rio Group is Haiti. That's good to see, as DR rises, it will take Haiti up with them. Hispanola es pa'lante que vamos. We have to keep working together for the greater good.

"Chavez will undoubtedly use this forum to blast tehColumbians for attacking his friends, the FARC. whom he has been supporting, according to reports, to the tune of US$300 million."

The media has also been reporting that Chavez was possibly giving logistical support to the FARC in their attempt to get material for a "dirty bomb". Alleged monetary and logisitcal support to terrorists by a state ran by someone who is no freind of the US, talk of WMDs, pre-emptive strikes. This script sounds awfully familiar.

another graduate of" School of Grassy Knoll" thought process ....yes we are paranoid....yes we are stalkers

maybe the american people should've displayed a little paranoia before they were unwittingly lead into a bogus war. Everything should be questioned goulet, otherwise man would be no different from sheep.

in 5 years bogus war may not be so bogus.....remember Vietnam well the difference is in Vietnam the Viet Cong did not want to follow us home.....in this case Georgie threw the first punch.....you dont hear anybody talking about bogus war in this election season do you.....the answer is no ...its a no issue at this time ...your wanting it to be does not make it so.....the partially white guy and Hillary have hardly opened their mouths about it....the bogus war

The main reason given for the US invasion of Iraq was WMDs and alleged links to 9-11. This was later proved to be based on distorted and/or faulty intelligenge and even or own President has said that there were no WMDs in Iraq and that Saddam had nothing to do with 9-11. The reasons for going to war were bogus, end of story. As for the war not being of primary concern here, do you live here? Obviously not for if you did you would know that people are very concerned about the war and our presidential candidates are paying alot of lip service as to how they would steer the course if the war if elected. As for following us home, please. Even the CIA has acknowledged that our invasion of Iraq has exacerbated terrorism world-wide exponentially instead of stifling it. Stop giving me sound bites that even the white house has stopped using, goulet. It's called critical thinking. Try it.

we were were lied to and deceived by the cia and big bad U.S.A.....boo hoo boo hoo.....the evil empire why cant we be more like che and hugo and the beard....woe is me the stalker.....you did not comment on lack of commentary about war in the primary process....you know why ?..."..the dogs bark the caravan moves on"....thats why mr think tank.....keep barking you soon may be the only one ....Pray for more personal disasters visited on the people by your pals the car bombers,suicide bombers etc

"you did not comment on lack of commentary about war in the primary process"

Indeed I did. It's not my fault if your reading comprehension is challenged.

"why cant we be more like che and hugo and the beard"

Show me a comment that I've made extolling the virtues of Castro or Chavez. You cannot beacause I have not.

"we were were lied to and deceived by the cia and big bad U.S.A"

The American people were lied to and deceived into war by the current administration. That is a matter of fact with ample documentation at this point. You hiding your inability to debate with concrete ideas and/or information under the guise of childish comments won't change that, either.

If it is so ample why are you the only one making noise about it ...I did not hear Hillary or Obama making as much noise as you....you know why dont you?

because ,...."..the dogs bark the caravan moves on ".....LIED and DECEIVED ! LIED and DECEIVED !

"If it is so ample why are you the only one making noise about it "

I guess the new york times decided to make some noise about this very topic also ...
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/full....40CE7DD123BF937A15755C0A9659C8B63
An editorial dated 5 years now...this is old news, goulet...you need to get your news from sources other than DT.

"The main reason given for the US invasion of Iraq was WMDs and alleged links to 9-11. "

0000

This matter establishes for eternity that George W. Bush is a rotten, filthy, and slimy liar and also establishes that anybody who follows or admires the this bag of GOP garbage in the White House is as worthless as Bush is.

"The reasons for going to war were bogus, end of story. "

0000

Yes, either lies or ... professed ... ignorance which the filthy GOPs in the White House blame on bad CIA intelligence.

Actually, the proclaimed reasons for going to war were more lies than ignorance.

This is the main reason why most liars have fallen love with the war.

Whoever defends the war is a liar.

While the above statements are true, I think that by allowing armed foreign forces (FARC) on it's territory, Ecuador has surrendered it's sovreignity and any right to complain or retaliate against another elected government (Colombia) seeking to defend itself. Chavez is not crazy (as the U.S. media tries to make him appear), he does not want a fight with the U.S. because he would loose everything and win nothing. Do not be so sure the senior officers in the Venezuelan military will follow along with all his stunts, Remember his reforendum on extending presidential powers and terms? It is widely believed the army made him accept the rejection of his "President for life" plan.

hey oscar nothing from hack lefty writer from NYT that is 5 years old is very relevant to the recent campaign ....keep barking ....keep stalking

belial Carlos Otero escapes Cubahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GJD5uHmjIE&feature=related

Alarcon humiliated in front of students....who are now probably in jail for asking the questionhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddql_STBwVY

Hugo is a greasy commie thug.....president for life.....even the students and barrios turned against him....now we are just counting days to throw him in dustbin of history....his end will probably be bloody....rightfully so

This meeting has certainly gotten more interesting hasn’t it ?

Otero can go from making bad performances of TV to trafficking in drugs and and human beings like the other members of the Miami mafia.

No doubt, in a few years, he will be a millionaire.

Pushing drugs, especially on children, is a prime path to financial success in the USA.

Miami is notorius because law enforcement fully cooperates with various traffickers.

Otero only want to make big money out of the drug and slave trade.

If Leonel pulls off Rio meeting on the Malvinas and Ecuador things, Rio Group may become something that everybody has heard of ... rather than just a few diplomats.

The important thing for Leonel to remember is that Alvaro Uribe of Colombia and British imperialism are poison.

Cristina Kirchner and Hugo Chavez are the good guys with whom Leonel should side with on the Malvinas and Ecuador.

Lula and Brazil will always run around in a circle in the middle, trying to find a way to make money by ripping everybody off.

The most stupid thing that Leonel can do is to support Alvaro Uribe's lies and aggressions or be evenhanded between Uribe and Chavez..

For the DR's sake, Leonel should do everything he can to help Chavez.

Venezuela can be a good friend of the DR with oil, chickens, and all of the DR's agricultural exports.

Colombia exports cocaine which the DR already has a surplus.

US imperialists want Leonel to back Uribe, the vicious imperialist running dog.

Bachelet Wants Colombia, Ecuador Reconcile

http://www.plenglish.com/article.asp?ID={BFFF70BC-9533-4B92-8B3F-5CB3DF6CEA2F})&language=EN

Santiago, Chile, Mar 6 (Prensa Latina) President Michelle Bachelet, who is to travel to Dominican Republic Thursday to attend the 20th Rio Group Summit, wants that entity allow a reconciliation between Colombia and Ecuador.

"Our aim," Bachelet said Wednesday, "is to solve this situation, we want a peaceful region and we know that our countries need it."

After the violation of the Ecuadorian bordering zone on Saturday by the Colombian military forces, the Chilean stateswoman expressed solidarity with Ecuador and called Colombia to give an explanation.

"Chile has sought solutions since the beginning to allow that violence and confrontation are not even greater consequences in our region," the head of State stated.

where is Pinochet now that we need him?

"where is Pinochet now that we need him?"

He's probably in hell where all murderous despots belong.

with phony doctor che and Allende and they are warming up the hottest part for the beard and his brother

C.C. is going to carry their luggage is that not correct belial

Allende?!? To my knowledge that man's administration did not violate any human rights or murder any chilean citizens (not so with pinochet). Pray tell, goulet, from what's public knowledge what would warrant Allende a place in hell?

Again and again the "Ungrateful" HAITIANS spewing their venom against Dominican Republic

Where is Dominican Republic, I can't find it in the map ? I only see an Island call "Hispaniola"

you are correct he was only a commie suck up and never had the chance to murder and enslave before the national hero Pinochet took care of his dumb---

after that you have to admit everything went swimmingly well.......... Chile prospered....

I see, goulet. According to you (even while admitting that Allende had no blood on his hands) for his alleged mishandling of the Chilean economy (and I say alleged because there were indeed external factors involved in the collapse of the chilean economy before Pinochet's coup) Allende deserves a place in hell. Also according to you Pinochet, who has the blood of thousands of his countrymen on his hands and who's regime is also responsible for gross violations of human rights including, but not limited to, torture, deserves to be called a national hero. Thanks for clearing that up.

mas o menos

It's going fine...maybe if you're ever in new york we can discuss it personally.....

juanfgerman@netscape.net

external factors this is grassy knoll stuff again ...probably going to mention Henry the K of course

Allow me to illuminate you, goulet....

http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Chomsky/ChomskyOdonian_Chile.html

the old chomsky saw......Hillarys mentor.....it does not go any farther out in left field than this fruit cake...please oscar you will be throwing bombs and overturning cars soon....this is lunatic fringe stuff ...not grassy knoll

Like I said, if you're ever in NYC feel free and I'll be more than happy to discuss all of this personally...you have my email address.

Goulet, you're the greatest, wisest, most rational, assertive, truly modest, most fair, by far not narrow minded, generous and caring of them all. I just wonder how can you spend all this time on this one website, probably the only one, because it doesn't seem like you have acces to any valuable information. Been brainwashed and uneducated since birth...I'm afraid .You're soooo hopeless, everybody on this blog knows you and probably in real life you are such an old wimp ! You're brave and tough behind the screen, talking everybody down, bullying and never listening to others who may have valid points. All you're talk is empty and sensless. Brain shrinkage is an uncurable disease -too bad, nobody will change you.
iF you are such a big man, please don't find this message inappropriate, leave it here and respond to it intelligently, not like a 'stooge'...
Many messages of all of us were deleted, because you found them insulting, truth is you bring them on yourself !!!

"You're brave and tough behind the screen, talking everybody down, bullying and never listening to others who may have valid points. All you're talk is empty and sensless. Brain shrinkage is an uncurable disease -too bad, nobody will change you." a poster describes GC.

oooo

I marvel at the moderation with which you tactfully describe GC.

GC calculatingly aims to drive his correspondents bananas and he is often successful.

It is not just his rude manner of expression that is so disagreeable, rather it is his habit of using rudeness to go off topic, making an infantile exhange of insults the substitute or new topic.

CG changes the topic from what the DT picks to an exchange of insults because he is empty of information on the topic, so he gets off topic quickly before the nothingness in him is exposed.

There are other people here I occasionally condescend to an exchange of insults, like TB, but others stay on topic and the insults are a side issue or spice.

Leonel may be afraid to pursue or further the interests of the DR at the summit because if he refuses to grant Uribe's wishes, Uribe ... in "self-defense" ... will bomb DR.

Belial, I've read most of your back&forth with this pathetic guy,it's unbelievable how he's thinking...He's always off topic, no matter what we're talking about! Seriously he cannot make one intelligent comment, but starting to offend and discredit everybody,who right or wrong is not subscribing to his idiotic views of the world. He represents everything that's bad about the world, capitalism and globalization. The selfish, exploitative, imperialist mindset,disregarding every bit of history and ideals that people,nations may have-guys like this are the cancer of society...Who in their right mind doesn't understand that capitalism is only good for the rich&shameless(10%of world's population) and drives to starving death the rest of the world ?!?!?! For example,there is way more poverty in all of 'democratic' Latin America (in proportion) than in Cuba any given day. No government is perfect as Fidel's wasn't either... but this is taking us into a differnt (GC's favorite) topic again.

i took a sabbatical from posting on this website because of the fatigue i experienced reading nonsensical commentary from cetain offenders. once the forum for intelligent exchange of valuable ideas between sane human beings, the aforementioned gouletcolonial made his presence felt and smelt, and i became tired of participating in childish rejoinders, which i am sure chagrined the readers who were expecting sensible and enlightening conversations. several valuable posters seemed to have become equivalently tired of the tomfoolery, and, as a consequence, we have seen a decline in the postings from baldoria, frankthe tank, dagtan and enriquillo, which is saddening, given the content of their postings. now that the aforementioned gouletcolonial has been exposed by all as an intolerant, cowardly specimen, i feel somewhat vindicated. however, by leaving the forum i am helping to accomplish his agenda; that of silencing all who dare to disagree with his idiocies.

thank you for your kind words Lorinka....I forgive you for selling out the freedom fighters in Budapest 1956...and Dredy welcome back from your near death experience we missed your lunacy...but C.C. aka.belial has more than taken up the slack for the Lunatic Left Wing....why you think you should monopolize this site with positions only from one point of view is typical of liberal facists,if the shoe fits....freedom of speech will make us free if you dont like it dont read it...

the editing is done by the staff of D.T....not by me ...you are whiners and complainers when you cannot have your way...in this post as well as in your lives....censorship is your way of saying you are correct .....I DONT THINK SO....

one more whack of the pinata for lorinka ....Eurotrash is an overused word but it has a certain flair....lording it over people in a third world country does not equate with being a big shot...it was not long ago your people were enslaved by communism you should be grateful to your liberators

actually, Gouletcolonial, i have never been an advocate of singular viewpoints; i believe we all have a right to see things through different lenses. you ,sir, are the tyrant of broadband, who insults and demeans people who disagree with you. i cannot remember attaching talk radio labels to anyone with whom i disagree, but you are incapable of rational exchange. this is evidenced by your referring to me as a liberal fascist, whatever that may be! the only positive thing is that everyone else now sees you for what you are; a wannabee despot, much more pernicious than those you despise, such as Fidel Castro. if you were leader in Cuba, the rich of the world would still be treating the country as their personal brothel and playground, and black people would only be looking at a university education from a safe distance. we all know your type, Goulet; sadly, we cant help you. you are too far gone, a waste of air and space. God bless the internet: at least we dont have to encounter you in

person. i leave that displeasure to the wretched of the earth, your immediate circle of acquaintances!

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/30/books/review/Oshinsky-t.html...... Senor uber racist here is your definition of liberal facism from book by the same name read it and learn something .....you are on the outside looking in because of your bad attitude not your race...but then again you are the whining and complaining and embarrassingly ill informed type for which there is little hope

we had hoped .....all of us you had departed for ever ...like you said you would ....but lies are your stock in trade....and they did not want you where you went either...we knew you did not have the guts to Hari Kari...so you are back to bore us with your nonsense and racist ramble

actually, Goulet, the intelligent people in the forum seem to welcome me back. if anything, i think that you are more of a pestilence to this forum than i am, judging by the responses to your postings by others. i guess that the opposition to your idiocy does not matter to you, because you care not a whit for other people´s opinions. and to call me a racist sounds very odd, coming from a man who incessantly refers to Barack Obama as ¨the almost white guy¨. however, i am no longer unsettled by your nonsense. i realise that you are a sad, tired, broken old man, forsaken even by viagra. your dream of the ¨good old days¨in Cuba will not be realised in your time. i feel for you, in that it appears that you have no life, other than torturing other users of this forum. just about every thread begins with your inane observations, which indicates to me that you have precious little to do otherwise. at least i can leave my women smiling: you leave them doubled over in laughter!!

partially white ...you cannot get it right can you ..... it is a joke amongst Obama supporters ...you uber racist choose to play cheesy race card.....you are a menace...to Obama if he has what it takes

by saying almost white you made a huge Freudian slip....dredy

poor, sad, impotent old Goulet!!

the old cheesy race card and you got caught.....Obama does not want guys like you anywhere near him....kiss of death.....old fashioned whiner....what can the government do for me?

wheeze away, old man. it is embarassing to read you now. like a beached whale , gasping for air.sorry man, we readers are not the ones who ruined your dreams; it is called TIME. maybe some day, in the distant future, some lout will sell out the Cubans and bring back the old style you loved so much. but guess what? YOU WONT BE AROUND TO SEE IT!!! you wont be around to yell¨¨pass me another mojito, Maria, and be quicker about it this time¨ life´s a bitch, Goulet. we all have to deal from the deck God hands us. if he gives you lemons, make lemonade. in your case, go to cap cana, where you can revel in the wonders of opulence, and drop a few more names. maybe you can get an autograph from arnie and donald and tiger( well, maybe not tiger). and, i hear that you can have a few splendid meals, and the vitamin V is plentiful( in your case, that is not relevant).

gotcha.... and it hurt ....now behave yourself...or you get the pinata stick again

"we all have to deal from the deck god hands us"....then stop dealing the slimy race card off the bottom of the deck......we know your game.....you sound like Obamas minister from the church he attended for the last twenty years ......O boy is he gonna get it....for all that big mouth stuff he had to say.....So what about Sugar Babies? why dont you answer the question....I know why you dont

Venezuela's Chavez puts communist as labor minister

CARACAS
Petroleumworld.com, April 17, 2008

Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez named a veteran communist leader as labor minister on Wednesday, days after ordering the nationalization of a giant steelmaker [employs 14,000 workers] whose workers are fighting for better pay.

The first task facing Roberto Hernandez, a long-term member of the Venezuelan Communist Party, will be to negotiate a new labor contract with the union at the Ternium Sidor steel works.
