Hugo Chavez criticises US-Colombia plan

Venezuela's president has objected to a decision by neighbouring Colombia to allow more US troops onto its soil. Hugo Chavez said that Bogota's plan to accommodate more US troops at its air and naval bases was "a threat" to Venezuela.

"They are surrounding Venezuela with military bases," he said in a speech televised late on Monday, adding that relations between Caracas and Bogota would be placed under review. The criticism comes ahead of a fifth round of talks between the US and Colombia aimed at finalising a security accord.

Chavez probably objects to the increased security because it affects the money he gets from narcoterrorism and it opens his abuse of his country open to closer international inspection. The man is a pirana.
