CARACAS (AFX) - Venezuela has offered emergency funds and fuel to the hurricane-battered US, and is ready to send a humanitarian aid taskforce to assist US disaster recovery efforts following Hurricane Katrina, the foreign ministry said.

Chavez is waving that oil around like a kid teasing a dog with a bone. First he wants to take it away because of that looney Pat Robertson calling for his assassination, now he's decided he's a humanitarian.

I say we go down and just take it from him

Time to finish up in the middle east...take over all the oil in Afghanistan, Iraq and go ahead and take over Iran as well. While we are at it..lets just go take Mexico...we send enough money there.....

I just saw gas at $3.10 here in North Atlanta.. I ain't happy...
