Chavez accuses US of spying on Venezuela
[Associated Press]

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Hugo Chavez is accusing the United States of using anti-drug flights in the Caribbean to spy on Venezuela.

Chavez claims that a U.S. Navy plane that flew into Venezuelan airspace during an anti-drug mission last week was actually involved in reconnaissance.

"They are spying," Chavez said during a speech on Wednesday.

Chavez warned Washington that he would dispatch fighter jets the next time a U.S. military plane violates Venezuelan airspace.

The United States says it is taking steps to make sure its planes don't stray into Venezuelan airspace again.

I know! And then he dares threaten to dispatch fighter planes!

spy planes are high altitude. Even if Hugo were to send fighters A. the plane would outrun them, B. the plane is flying WAY too high for the fighters to even reach it.

I know i shouldnt but i do like Hugo Chavez alot lol

He's really funny in how he badmouths us and gets away with it, dont tell him this but it's like he's a pesky lil bro to the US.

I like how he's not offically a dictator but he is. He WAS voted into office, but since then he has changed the venesualian constitution so much he cant really be voted out of office unless he dies.

smart man that Hugo "boss" Chavez, but alas he is being rediculous here

Ha ha thanks I try.
