CNN.com - Chavez threatens to cut off oil to U.S. - Feb 18, 2006:

This nutcake's threats will surely send up the price of oil and gas futures, along with yesterday's rebel threat to drive foreign oil companies out of Nigeria. And our own Congressman Bernie Sanders is doing business with Chavez! A travesty.


"'The government of the United States should know that if they go
over the line, they are not going to have Venezuelan oil,' Chavez said.
'I have already taken measures regarding this. I'm not going to say what because
they think that I can't take these measures because we would not have any place
to send the oil,' Chavez said.
Chavez has threatened to halt oil exports to U.S. ports before, but Friday was the first time the former paratroop commander mentioned having made contacts with other crude buyers as part of a contingency plan."
