Chavez Uncovers Coup Plot by USA?

Ah, Chavez, I see your Imperial Ass got our Imperial Memo after all. Nice to know the comm lines are still open!

I notice the names of the key players who rallied behind His Imperial Paranoia, and have bold-faced same for your quick and easy recognition.

CARACAS, Venezuela -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez claimed Friday he had uncovered a plot to topple his government, blaming his political opponents and calling them "lackeys" of the United States.

His mention of a coup plot prompted whistles and shouts from thousands of supporters who filled the streets to welcome him home Friday after a foreign tour in which China, Malaysia and Syria offered to support Venezuela's bid for a seat on the 15-member U.N. Security Council.

"I have reports that the counter-revolutionary opposition has a plan to overthrow me in a coup," Chavez said.

And I have a news alert for you, Chavez: siding with Imperialistic terrorists like Syria, is not going to help your paranoid public image any. Oh, and did you notice that China, your good ol' buddy and pal, might be backing your claims against the US to your face but they are standing alone on the "Veto Board" of the UNSC ?

Washington is lobbying against Venezuela's bid and is backing Guatemala. The race will be decided by the General Assembly in a secret ballot in October.

The Security Council has five permanent members with veto power -- the United States, Britain, Russia, China and France -- and 10 rotating non-permanent members which serve two-year terms.
