Chavez Threatens US Oil Cutoff
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Hugo Chavez on Sunday threatened to cut off oil sales to the United States if Exxon Mobil Corp. wins court judgments to seize billions of dollars in Venezuelan assets.

"If you end up freezing (Venezuelan assets) and it harms us, we're going to harm you," Chavez said. "Do you know how? We aren't going to send oil to the United States. Take note, Mr. Bush, Mr. Danger."

Of course who benefits the most if Venezuela cuts off oil to the U.S.? Exxon Mobil Corp.

In 1952 the democratically elected prime minister of Iran seized the oil resources from BP and nationalized them. The CIA then overthrew the government and placed Shaw Reza Pahlavi into power where he then un-nationalized the oil resources and ruled Iran with an iron first until 1979. Thousands of Iranian citizens were murdered under the shaw.

We all see how that worked out.

then what will happen to those commercials about the "free Venezuelan heating oil being sent to American families in need"? lol.

Ahhhh.. Chavez.. what a friend to the US... but hey, who can blame him?

I guess we'll see oil prices jump to record levels now, and Exxon will be laughing all the way to their foreign bank accounts.

Yossarian-is both Citgo and Valero gas Venezuelan? Exactly what companies use Venezuelan gas?

7-Eleven used to but they stopped about a year ago.

Why don't he STFU and do it.

The sooner the better, that way Bush can eliminate him before he leaves office.

I think 7-eleven was Citgo gas. Id love for someone to let me know who uses V-gas so can stop using it. Citgo was the worst gas I ever used too.
