Maybe the French fell fast in 1940 but in other wars they have been as aggressive as the US was: 1914, Algeria, Vietnam and currently in Mali where they are left alone, by the way. Not that I defend the war actions but when it comes from someone suggesting hard core tactics to be this misinformed (or is that prejudiced the word I am looking for?) it really kills your argument.<br /><br />Not that I cannot kill your arguments in other ways. For example what is the point to go at the hospital and demand proof og life of Chavez? What will we gain from that since it is established that Chavez has left and now what is ruling as a narco system? Should I waste my time waiting for a proof of life that is simply put ridiculous?<br /><br />As for snide comments on power points and self patting, at least I am doing something day in and day out, something that has even got me threats from the regime. I do what I can do and already with it I have done quite a lot of damage and I have exposed myself much more than most, probably including yourself. when repression comes big way let's see which one of us will go to jail first.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128609182544333477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-52999290074646817222013-02-19T08:09:10.628+01:002013-02-19T08:09:10.628+01:00Perhaps the cuban doctors are giving up?

You love to explain all the nuances in powerpoints and excel spreadsheets and always pat yourself in the back as to how accurate you were in your predictions. And the bottom line is Chavez is still in power.<br /><br />Chavismo is in deep trouble, this is the time to act. The insane tangle web they are weaving with Chavez' health plus the economic situation are the right conditions. If Venezuelans don't rise now and go by the hundreds of thousands in front of the Hospital and demand proof of life and demand a change then you deserve the 14 additional years of Chavismo you are going to get.<br /><br />Or you can continue with your powerpoints and spreadsheets. Good luck with that.<br />Bobby V.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-58517456757684361472013-02-19T03:04:16.220+01:002013-02-19T03:04:16.220+01:00I see a number of reasons for his return.

Prez dies and Dio and his cronies are in charge? What to do? Well my bet is that TSJ agrees that Chavez can (if he wants) resign AFTER a new president is elected. Its the Crillio way.

It must mean that full sovereignty has returned. But you and I and lots others know that that is not the case. The puppet master and his brother will not let go, even after Chávez dies. At least not in the foreseeable future.

Also, the damage that Chavez has done is done, so his demise really will not change much in the short and middle term. So, why panic?
