(I think you both hit on that difference, just didn't say it that way.) There's three things in play here: what Chavez says, how much of what he says will happen, and what he really wants anyway and is obfuscating with his speeches. Whether things don't happen because the Ven govt is incapable/incompetent or because they never intended for it to happen is somewhat moot.AIOnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-37401839129944382152010-04-05T04:56:59.867+02:002010-04-05T04:56:59.867+02:00Dear Dano:

I see these as chavez inching forward in his crazy war against USA. The "space exploration" may be the excuse for handling huge missiles and constructing launching facilities, while the "nuclear power" may be the excuse for handling nuclear materials and constructing nuclear related facilities.<br /><br />--torresnoreply@blogger.com
