Could war be imminent between Venezuela and Columbia? To same Latin American experts, today’s move by Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez seems to suggest that the possibility of war is now real.Â
According to the AP: “Venezuelan troops mobilized for the Colombian border on Tuesday after President Hugo Chavez ordered 10 battalionsto the frontier. Hundreds of Venezuelan troops were seen boarding four buses and eight trucks at the Paramaracay base in the central city of Valencia on Tuesday morning. A helicopter flew overhead. A base official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said they were heading for the Colombian border, though she didn’t specify the location.”
Columbia responded by ratcheting up their language against Chavez today. Reuters is reporting that, “Colombia said it will bring charges of supporting genocide against Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, alleging that he helped leftist rebels commit mass murders in Colombia.”

colombia will destroy venezuela, and soon or later chavez will bring to justice. chavez is low class people
the way he talks(he cant even talk,malso he move his hands)is funny and he doesnt look like a leader for a country. he should be in the cicus.
What a lot of dribble, everyone with a minimum iQ knows that Columbia is a client state of the USA, this move would have been sanctioned by Washington and backed up with US weopens.
This is how the US is going to invade the surrounding oil rich countrys.
This is the opening salvo.
