Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has denounced the Western-led military operation on Libya, saying that the West’s intervention is aimed at seizing the North African country’s huge oil reserves.
“They want to seize Libya’s oil and they care nothing about the lives of the Libyan people,” Chavez said on state TV on Saturday as a five-country coalition, including the United States, France, Britain, Canada and Italy, launched strikes on Libya aimed to cripple the country’s ruler Muammar Gaddafi’s air defenses.
“These are the men of war … what irresponsibility. Behind this is the hand of the United States and its European allies, instead of taking the path that we have modestly proposed,” he added, Reuters reported.
Chavez announced a peace plan this month for crisis-hit Libya and said his friend Gaddafi supported foreign mediation.
Egypt—-freedom——attack on Christians homes and churches
Lybia—–freedom——lets wait and see
These people are barbarians they only understand the iron FISTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Hahaha,
Some of us are so ignorant. Ghaddafi may be wrong for killing his people.
But that does not rule out that the US and Allies are after the oil. The unrest simply presented the perfect opportunity to enter Libya.
Besides, did any of you hear Obama say that removing Ghaddafi is US Policy?
Watch the news people and stop playing stupid politics.
You people so stupid. Talking about it’s not about oil. This is about oil and about payback for the lockaby(sp) bombing. Just last week one of the American politicians was saying that after Gaddafi falls they(the west need to put a president that will be easy to control). Gaddafi don’t give a f*ck that’s why I have a tremendous amount of respect for the man.
admin i have a langsal but i have it under control,,, but i don’t know if is slip some bloggers managing to slip,,, but i never knew f*ck, shit, a(s or dam**s n some others i can’t remember now were allowed,,,,, cause when i post mmmooooodddddaaaaasssss it gets edited out,,,, mots never got the memo
Admin: We get tons of comments per minute including spam……..so comments will slip thru the cracks. Not even the best filter is 100 % perfect.
Two mad men.
Chavez is a dictator just like Gaddafi. They don’t like opposition and will kill their own people if they uprise against them, and that’s why he is supporting Gaddafi. Chavez claim that the US is after the oil of Lybia makes no sense.
That’s a ridiculous statement. America don’t get oil from Libya and never have. They support Britain beacuse Britain always support them. And if this was about oil, Britain was already getting oil off Libya. furthermore, the UN and NATO would have never supported it. Much less for France Qatar Saudi Arabia and the UAE. If it was about oil, what is Saudi, the largest oil exporter doing involved?
Oh and not to mention Italy, and Congo along with a few more african nations allowing their airspace to enforce the no fly zone. People on dno that buy this crap should read more. I know if it was Dca I would want help too
ur fool thats the issue.control of the oil in libya.why didnt they get so hard on mubarak.what about mugabe.why is it that the U.S.A does business wit afganistan which is the most corrupt country on earth.my foolish friend God is on his way prepare urself to meet him.
Wow so I am a fool for my opinion. Nice. And in some places when the whole country is with the leader nothing can be done. You can never fight a whole country. Look at afghanitan. I guess the au is in it for the oil too.
Muammar Gaddafi and Venezuelan Two Paro! Dem man on Drugs man!
Fighting for oil lol….. is paro den? all who saying is for oil is morons.
Hit man I agree
AMERICA DON’T EVEN CARE ABOUT ITS’ OWN PEOPLE FARLESS FOR OTHERS..AMERICA IS A PRETENDER..”A WORLD BY ITSELF OF MODERN SLAVERY”,,IF AMERICA CAN’T GAIN FROM YOU IT WOULDN’T ASSIT…YES, THE OIL IS THEIR CONCERN..BELIEVE IT OR NOT…AMERICA IS RUN AND CONTROLLED BY ONE FAMILY(THE OIL CONTRLLERS).
in accordance 1000% with you. What do thinkof China? Do they care about anyone? What’s her plan long term?
YES is because of de oil! When all dem ppl were bein KILLED in SUDAN AMERICA did nothing!!!! Thousands of ppl were killed there! Sudan doh have oil so America and der friends did nothing to help those poor ppl! Now two 2 rockets some rebls fire they jumping and say ppl getting killed! Afther that i have to say i GOOD with obama…
Sudan does have oil… plenty of it…
@ I mad at OBMA! you need to read what mouth of the South wrote. I dont think you know what you talking about. By what you wrote tellng me that you just repeating things from other people.
watch the news and come bac and type somehing sensible on here…
well if its about oil,,,, then i support the u.s on this one,,, u know why????? cause ghadaffi the mad man has asked his troops to burn down the reserves,,,, do u know this affects us in d/ca also with the price of goods going sky high,,,,, oh u did not think of that,,, well that’s the reality,,,, so u.s.a franc,,, england and italy will not stand aside and watch there economies crumble because of this mad man,,, so if it means they got to take it from under his control to ensure the world economy can be better then so be it,,,, with bush it was different,,, iraq had no conflicts that would affect the economy b4 he went in,,,,, so bush created it and now we are all paying for it,,,,, but ghadaffi’s actions is also affecting us,,, so we should be happy that the super powers are doing something about it,,,,,
This comment just prove to the whole DNO that you is a damn hypocrite that shouldn’t be taken seriously.
i stand by my statement 100%,,,, better is libya than us boy
everyone seems to forget that colnel gadaffi is a terrorist, do we forget about pan flight

what like he want what dominica have got, where is the veneuzulan oil refinery, errr jimmit dominica, the nature isle of the caribbean now has a oilo refinery, we will not be winning awards for much longer, thanks chavez
Chavez and Kadafi are alike ; both of them are dictators and therefore will always support each other.
I deeply regret that DA, being a member of the Alba, is a Chavez ally.
Kadafi has a lot of blood of innocent people on his hands; civilians ; and his own people !!
America and Europe are not taking any oil, from nobody ; the aim of this military action is only to avoid a huge slaughter.
After 41 years in power, don’t you all think that it is time for Kadafi to resign and give someone else a chance ?
u are so write,these 2 are Devil’s Chavez & Gaddafi as pu Chavez la,ooh i am so sorry for my beautiful D/ca,Chavez is just giving them a chance, but when he is ready ooh Dominican will be all in sorrow,he try to put down Curacao but not at all they let him see they are not afraid of him.
Birds of a feather flock to gether. Chavez and Gaddafi
Unfortunate for the Ivory Coast where millions have fled their homes on the hills of a civil war, who will protect the hundred of thousands who are about to die, with no oil or resources for the west, let see who will.
Very early Fidel Castro said that the oil thieves would attack Libya and it was so said so done. The US said that it went to Libya to stop the massacre of civilians by Gaddafy military forces. However, up to this day we are yet to see on TV the pictures of the hundreds of innocent civillians reported killed. Why don’t the so-called rebels take the reporters to see the bodies? They showed us the wreckage of a crashed coalition aircraft and some rebels standing on the wreckage. They showed the pictures of Libyan soldiers killed by air strikes and dozens of tanks, aircrafts and military vehicles destroyed but no civilians.
When the Libyan government showed pictures of civilians killed by the US bombing raids it is denied by the US to make us believe that bombs don’t kill civilians. Everyday the US and its allies are killing innocent civilians in Libya. These bombings are condemned by the African Uninion, Russian, China, Germanhy, and many more countries. Even in America senators and congressmen are against it. People are demonstrating against it in many big cities around the world.
Go to this link:- http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/ApPcImKh/sharing.html to see how the government of Bahrain, Yemen and Saudi Arabia brutalizing and murdering innocent protesters and the TV stations are hidingit from the public. Ask yourself why are they hiding it from the public? Time will tell.
Time will tell,
Excelent observation, the Rebels should have access at least to some of the bodies of the hundreds of inocent civillians killed, makes me want to believe that this is just popaganda and a reason to attack Gadafi
Well said my friend, I pray one day Dominicans will wake up from their slumber and sleep.
Oil is the world’s currency. And yes Chavez is right about this, except, it is the global elite running the U.S. and the “allies” and making the decisions that are after the absolute oil control worldwide. They just use the power countries to go after whatever they want so that people think, “oh, the U.S. is doing it,” NO. They are being played.
Human life means nothing to these people. The less people there are, the better they like it.
Skin color has nothing to do with it.
Google China-Africa relations and my people you will understand why it is said that Africa is being recolonized this time with a different colonial master. US, Europe, UK, China are interested in third World countries resources, oil, natural gas, minerals, etc. etc. But Chavez would never ever talk about China’s operations in Africa and the rest of the world. Mark you Gaddafi is not condemned for the attacks and atrocities against his own people.
Chavez has not condemned Gaddafi for unleashing bombs on his people? If Gaddafi did care about the lives of his own people why would he be bombing and killing his own. Of course, if US and the other Western-led countries are wrong to bomb Libya, how comes it is right for Gaddafi to do it. The Libyan people were standing up for their rights and protesting against dictatorship. Libya is rich in oil, yet 1/3 of its people live in poverty. The elite Class, a few in power have amassed massive wealth, while the majority of Libyans are struggling with all that oil around them. So Chavez should condemn all attacks on the Libyans from whatever side whether it is done by Gaddafi and his goons or by the Western countries. Many of Gaddafi’s friends simply mouth that they regret the loss of lives of Libyans, but refuse to condemn those in power (Gaddafi and his Govt.) for causing the loss of lives. DOUBLE STANDARDS?
You are so brainwashed dude, it’s not funny!! Where are the pics of the thousands of civilians killed by Gadaffi? Show me the pics and I’ll show you that of the stckpiles of weapons of mass destruction that Saddam Hussein was said to have had.
Man take a break from propaganda oulets such as CNN, FOX and BBC and start looking for the truth elsewhere or else you will remain brainwashed!!
Chavez is just trying stop an uprising in his country, he is no different to all these men who hijack their countries for their own ends and rule by fear.
There is a wind blowing in the world and the middle east is just the start.
The two faces of evil in the photo above.
if i was closer to u i would shake your 2 foot 2 bad eggs they want to be the only ones to controll.
they are more than evils,they are dealing with the devil.
You guys are soooo stupid and brainwashed foolish that it’s not funny!!! Anyway time will tell!!
DNO,
Where is my comment, posted over 2 hours ago, was waiting moderation, now its off the board.
Why should everything be about oil?, tell me people should the world stand by and allow injustic to prevail in Lybia?, slaugter of innocent lives and abuse of human rights, would you people be okey with that?. When the world turned it’s back on Rwanda and thousands died at the hands of the wicked, we were all shocked that no one came to their rescue. the rest of world looked bad. Today the free world is trying to prevent a repeat of such evil and we are complaining. Please tell me somebody, can the human race ever be pleased, you damn if you do and you damn if you don’t. my policy, do what is right.
NO! THey really are not! This is about the oil! There are easily a half dozen countries with far worse conditions & unrest. No one is going in there! No one is helping them! This is for the oil!
short your dam mouth,they are not after the oil Gaddafi is killing people like carnibals instead of eating them.
Dictators are still killing the inocent in Africa, still no military action from US and its allies to save civilians. The world is looking bad because the us and its allies are not just, when labelling Dictators, if a dictator supports the US, that is a good dictator and is allowed to commit crimes against civilians..no problem…
So why should they only help so called civilians in resource rich countries. Anyone remember operation Iraqi freedom?
And the only individuals that would sit idle by and see injustice prevail are the dictators who want everything and continue to keep down the poor from ever rising up,Some of the dictators would have us believe it has to do with oil but we all know better it has to do with saving the lives of people, but these dictators rather kill their own people to keep all their riches, the internatioal community have the right to prevent such killing and they have the right to be in LYBIA fighting for the lest fortunates.
The poeples of the World are fed up with these dictators of the World and they are rising up for their rights some are willing to die for democracy men like Gaddafi and Chavez dont care about their people and they are capable of commiting atrocities on the backs of the people so this haven got to do with oil it has to do with the killing of people, when suporters of his go door to door killing people what does that have to do with oil I would suggest to those of you dont care try to put yourself in the place of those folk in Lybia.
I would rather side with the USA and England than to be in bed with the likes of Lybia, Venezula,China,Iran, people of DOMINICA do you see the type of dictators little DOMINICA have aligned itself with think it over.
Though I am not a supporter of Chavez, he is just stating the obvious. If the US and it’s allies are so concerned about the killing of civilians in Libya what about the slaughter of civilians taking place in Abidjan since december of 2010, when the incumbent lost the election and refused to give up power. I don’t hear the UN calling for attacks on the Abidjan army to protect civilians…It is about OIL.
This is very true people. Look all over the world or in the same Africa where there are governments killing their people all because the people demand change. Yet there have been no intervention by the U.S and allies. In fact the U.S is benefiting from its arms sales to such corrupt governments and continues to demonstrate they have no regard for the lives of none Americans.
It’s all about controlling the resources the U.S so much craves. The U.S is a major consumer of oil.
The sad thing about it is the first black U.S president Obama who claim to rather use words to communicate and bring about change was so quick to use force before giving diplomacy a chance. We all believed he would be different and show some restraint but his actions will prove to be no more opportunistic than that of George Bush former U.S president.
I SAW IN CERTAIN DOCUMENTARIES WERE THE US HAVE SPECIAL PEOPLE TO SEND IN CERTAIN NATION TO TURN IT’S PEOPLE AGAINST IT GOVERNMENT
I ALWAYS ASK MYSELF “WHY THEY ALWAYS AT WAR WITH THOSE THAT ARE RICH IN REC\SOURCES?”
ARE YOU SERIOUS OR BLIND?
It is not about … oil. It is an issue where crimes against humanity is concerned.
So why not intervene in the Ivory Coast, Sudan, Congo, Central African Republic, Israel, Yemen, Bahrain, DRC? Why they were quick to run to the aid of the so called Libya civilians(when it was the rebels that started this mess) and ignore all the others in dyer need?
+ oil
Crime against humanity? Then answer this for me, if you are bombing a country you are not at war with, what do you call that?
Ok fine! so why they never send trops in sudan were thousands of ppl were killed!….
This world is so full of intrigue. Truth, like God, is with us yet difficult, if not impossible, to pin point. And since we have only one lifetime in which to search, we create our own for our percieved short term advantage.
Chavez is full of sh*t. Gaddafi has murdered innocent people from his own country. So the US and other nations shouldnt try to put a stop to it? So many Dominicans dont like the US which I dont understand why when Dominicans are influenced by American TV/media/music and American fashion by African Americans. Yall even watch American sopa operas. So if yall love Venezuela, China, Cuba, & Libya then watch television from those countries and dress like them. Dont buy anything exported from America since all u hate America and its allies so much.
I say Amen to that!! Since Dominica strated it’s relationship with Chavez anti- Americanism has become widespread in Dominica. The influence that these despots have on our people is worrisome. American is no saint, but I will take America before China, Venezula, Iran, Lybia, Moroocoo, anyday!!!!
SURE WOULD.
This post makes no sense.
Thanks Donny How many People did the US kill in Viet Nam,How many innocent Blacks were mercilessly killed Tarred Feathered in the South,what did we achieve by invading Panama,why are there so few Native Americans,what is America dfoing in Iraq, how come after 56years there is still a Cuban embargo. In answer to your question, should we just accept everything the Americans say and do whiile turning a blind eye to their past artrocities. In conclusion, you have become so Americanised that the old English “YOU ALL” has now become Yall to you. No way Hosea, people like you can never influence me
Mr. Anti ignorance; please Don’t say that many Dominicans hate America. No, they don’t hate America. They hate the American government double standards. The US government is not acting fair.There are dictators who are worst than Gaddafy and the US go to bed with them. They torture, murder and brutalize their citizens and the US cast a blind eye.
Nelson Mandella spent 24 years in prison as a freedom fighter. Thousands of black South Africans were killed by the white miniority apathied government and a no-fly zone was never put in place against the South African government. President Obama won a nobel peace prize and he cast it to the pigs so they could roll in the mud with it. Tha’s a shame. His job was to mediate for a peaceful solution.
We don’t hate America we are only calling a spade a spade. See how long the Palestinians are fighting for a homeland and they are called terrorists but the Libyans are called rebels. So you see where we are coming from? You need to open your eyes brother. Maybe this link will help: http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/ApPcImKh/sharing.html
Which government in the world that has openly stated that it will kill its citizens like rats and cockroaches?
I have been opposed to American Imperialism all my life, I have been a supporter of Ghadafi for his support to the Black Liberation movement worldwide, but Ghadafi was stupid to threaten to massacre his citizens for demanding more basic rights that we all enjoy.
I reluctantly support the opposition in Libya and I sadly must support the bombing of Gadafi’s air capacity. Otherwise there would have been GENOCIDE in Libya.
Hello Anonymous!
Don’t be so naive to let the American propaganda fool you. During the early days of the uprising almost the whole of Eastern Libya was captured by the rebels. Gaddafy forces retook it from them. How many civilians were massacred when gaddafy forces routed the rebels from the cities they had captured? You got blown away by US propaganda. The rebels are burning police stations, government officies, stealing air planes, rockets, tanks and ammunition from government warehouses. Some government soldiers defected with all their weapons and were attacking Gaddafy forces. They are the ones that Gaddafy said he will have no mercy for. You can’t fool anyone, you have never been opposed to American imperialism. You have always been a puppet and remains one. What about the palestinians struggle?
Not only watch their TV but they flock daily at the Amercan embassy for visas to go to America, I don’t see them lineing up at the Venezuelan, Chines, Iran, Libyan or Morooco’s embassies for visas to go there. Why not go there instead and then we can compare.
yall? LOL
MOUTH OF THE SOUTH, IT IS ALL ABOUT OIL. YOU MAY NOT WANT TO ADMIT IT BUT ITS ALL ABOUT OIL. Libya oil is one of the best in the world also their reserve is huge.
The French were heavily invested in Iraq whiles Sadam that is why they opposed the Americans going to Iraq. Now they have lost that they are looking for a replacement that is why they lead the strikes.
Italy is still pissed Gaddafi took Libya from them. The Amercains and British as usual are looking for their interest.
So many countries have leaders have leaders worse than Gaddafi, why haven’t these so called saviors intervene?? There is no oil or any resources they need. These ppl will have diplomatic relations with anyone as long it is in their best interest. Before Castro, Cuba had a dictator as a leader, but , it was ok with America cause they were allowed to do what they want in Cuba.
So why don’t they cut ties with Russia and China?? Whether you like Chavez or not it is the truth they are fighting for oil. Also war creates an economy an economy which benefits the west.
True!!!!
omg chavez playing on the insecurities of those acolytes,,,,, so since bush did his dirt every thing u.s.a involved in is about oil,,,, mr chavez u better chill cause if its about oil then urs would be gone long before ghadaffi’s,,,, if its about oil
The man speaking the truth. This is all about oil, even the African Union, Turkey, Russia, And Germany said it. Stupid Dumminicans only hate Chevez because of is relations to Skerrit. In anyone of those countries cared about innocent civilians, why are they not doing any thing in sub Sahara Africa?
Chavez isnt a good person he wants to follow Fedel castro’s footstep Fedel isnt as bad as Chavez.
not just oil.. about resources!!!
it is all about oil……………….that is why i did not support Obama…………Obama should never get black people support…….
Black just votes for him because he is black….. I did say all the time he was not ready….but my West Indian friend always told me I am hating.
I do not support black for black…..I make an inform decision.
just rubbish
so who wud you have supported for president again? you mean mr white man was ready? i mean put colour aside but you really mean that obama was not more ready than watever his name is? mashastay…
it is not about white or black….that is the problem we have…we need a JFK in the world of today..One that is willing to change the USA GOVERNMENT!!!!!
if its not about oil.its in broader sense….US energy security….Ooooh!the wolf in sheep’s clothing.
it is all about oil!!!!!
MOTS i’m struggling to figure out what is the source of your infatuation with the US.
US foreign policy is all about what will be best for their economy and security dude!! The US could care less about dictators and oppression and humanitarian intervention unless there is something in it for them!!
That’s why they won’t intervene in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain!
Can’t believe someone who reads a lot of news could be so brain-washed, you need to diversify your news sources dude and read a book sometime.
