Chavez has one incredible set of balls, I must say.
No doubt that he is being sincere.
The people in New Orleans (predominantly of African descent) have been screwed by the white supremist society for centuries; they could use the help.
However, the chickenhawk, punkass Bush will never agree to this offer.
Chavez is an example of a slave that has forgotten his place.
They (the hypocrits in the political class in the US) love to be the only 'saviors' in the Americas.
Chavez is turning the tables on these ethical retards, and I am just love'in it.
Do you think the U.S. will actually accept the aid?
I doubt it.
Well, the US didn't accept Fidel's offers after 9-11.
I love to see Diplomacy at work.
Slave:
You sound like the type of guy who would get a kick out of this one:
"Looters filled industrial-sized garbage cans with clothing and jewelry and floated them down the street on bits of plywood and insulation as National Guard lumbered by.
Mike Franklin stood on the trolley tracks and watched the spectacle unfold.
"To be honest with you, people who are oppressed all their lives, man, it's an opportunity to get back at society," he said."

What happened to all the escualidos? Did they live in N.O. and have to swim for it?
And actually I was just starting to bond with that Brunilde person. Damm you OW, you always have to bring facts into the discussions and chase all the escualidos away.
Militant Said Faces Torture if Extradited
By ALICIA A. CALDWELL
Associated Press Writer
EL PASO, Texas (AP) - An anti-Castro militant accused of plotting the bombing of a Cuban jetliner would be tortured if turned over to Venezuela, a former government official in that country testified Tuesday in the man's deportation hearing.
Luis Posada Carriles requested asylum in the United States after being arrested in Miami in May on charges that he sneaked into the country through Mexico.
The 77-year-old Cuban is accused of orchestrating the deadly 1976 jetliner bombing while in Caracas. His deportation hearing will also consider whether the failed 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion was an act of U.S. terrorism.
Joaquin F. Chaffardet Ramos, testifying on behalf of Posada before an immigration judge, said the Venezuelan government has denounced Posada as a terrorist, and he almost certainly ``would be sent immediately'' to Cuba.

A recently declassified CIA document quotes an unnamed former Venezuelan official saying that shortly before the bombing Posada was heard to say that he and others ``are going to hit a Cuban airplane.''

CIA documents also show the spy agency trained Posada in 1961 to participate in the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. Immigration Judge William L. Abbott last month asked lawyers in the case to prepare briefs on whether the invasion was a terrorist act.

I love the surreality of Chavez' actions. Castro could always be dismissed as a senile old man who didn't have the resources to help anyway, but if this ALBA- Latin American solidarity thing picks up, I foresee mass defections from the: "Yea the U.S. has made some mistakes in our region, but they also do SO MANY GOOD THINGS" camp. They will finally realize that helping is easy, and when you are getting real help, not "aid" and "international cooperation" things do change for the better.
Anon--I am all over this story, read it hours ago.
Indeed, it would have been nice to be in New Orleans during and after the hurricane. I would have loved helping the brothers smash the Burdine's window and wade through the store loading up floating garbage cans.
You see God does smile during the most dire/dour of situations.
However, I am a bit disturbed about how the white racists are using this (arguably) justified looting to reconfirm their stupid bigotry.
We are living in the End Times, the times of genocide, confusion, nuclear nightmare and corporate induced propaganda.
The time of slave revolt.
Stoke the fire, check your weapons, fill up the garbage cans with Tommy Hilfiger jeans, hide the loot--if the pigs fuck with ya....just shoot.
P.E.
Yes, it dose look like they have good coverage there. When I get a chance I'll read it in full. This site is way past due for a Posada update.
