["an talla" <an.talla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

United States may not be able to count on Colombia as an ally in covert
invasion plans for Venezuela; Colombians are already tied up with rebel
plans for assault on Bogota

Speaking at the Catholic University in Quito (Ecuador), US professor and
researcher James Petras says the United States is prioritizing a Plan
Venezuela and Plan Ecuador in parallel with its already launched Plan
Colombia in an aggressive geopolitical strategy to unilaterally impose
Washington's will on developing nations south of the Rio Grande.

Despite the fact that Presidente Hugo Chavez Frias has fairly won more
elections than any President today or in the past, Petras says a conjunction
of primary targets of North American interference in the government in
Venezuela lies in a defamatory media campaign that intensifies with each day
with the active incitement of US Ambassador to Venezuela, Charles S.
Shapiro, who had had a leading role in the April 2002 coup d'etat which saw
the imposition of USA-backed dictator Pedro Carmona Estanga, albeit for only
two days.

"The United States lost the first round but continued to support action
taken in the December-January 2003 national stoppage and now in the
opposition's petition for a revocatory referendum against Presidente Chavez.
In view of their failed attempts to overthrow the legitimate government of
Venezuela, the next following step is USA-inspired terrorism, an unending
war where the coup d'etat against (Haiti's) Aristide is just preparing the
way."

"We entered an interesting scenario that calls on forces within Colombia
itself ... because the United States is not going to invade Venezuela alone
... since it is not in condition to accumulate large scale losses ...
Venezuela will not be such a walk-over as Haiti.  Colombia provides the
military excuse and capability to open up a second front ... an mistaken
adventure since the Pentagon has mad such bad calculations that they think
they can simply occupy a country (Venezuela), colonize it and 'ciao'."

"In my judgment the United States has been preparing Chavez' violent
overthrow for some considerable time ... with a combination of internal
violent uprisings, a frontier invasion via Colombia and then directly from
the United States mainland."

Petras, however, considers that the main obstacle for Colombia's involvement
in Washington's invasion plans for Venezuela would be left-wing guerrilla
fighters along Venezuela's extensive border with Colombia where, right now,
a greater force of fighters than could be amassed against Venezuela, are
preparing to open a direct assault on Bogota when the Army and right-wing
paramilitaries required to consummate the Bush 2 administrations covert
plans are concentrated on Venezuelan frontier zones.
