Chavez: Venezuelans will defend Cuba against US
Associated Press, THE JERUSALEM POST Apr. 22, 2006

Venezuelans will spill blood to defend Cuba against a possible US
invasion, President Hugo Chavez said.

"If the US empire were to invade Cuba, Venezuelan blood would run in the
defense of Cuba and its people," Chavez said Friday during a speech to
government supporters in Venezuela's capital.

The Venezuelan leader has long claimed that Washington is plotting to
overthrow his leftist government - accusations denied by US officials.

He repeated Friday that the US "is preparing an aggression," though it
was not clear which country he believed was the target.
