Social democrats favor democracy only to the extent they are in power. When in power, like Chavez, they will rig the system to stay in power.

Alrighty... Now you're just acting like a loon again.

Oerdin, the following graphs is for the government's oil output. BTW, the numbers I gave you before were also for the government's oil output, so tick that in your pipe and smoke it. CSM is flat out wrong.

Che, you do know that venezuelaanalysis.com is owned and operated by the Chavez government, right? It even says it right on their website. It's Chavez's own little propaganda site.

We've already established that the industry doesn't buy Chavez's official numbers so why do you keep quoting Chavez's propaganda figures? You can repeat them a million times but they're still just made up figures which way over state production.

Lsdtly, you are wrong. That graph preports to show total national oil production in the country not just the government owned firm. Current production is around 2.5-2.6 million bpd while that graph is claiming 3.3m bpd. He's over stating production by 700,000-800,000 bpd. or about 20%-25% of total national production. That's not just a little lie; that is a whopper.

[chequita guevara]

Fine, if that's the case, show some hard evidence for your numbers.

[chequita guevara]

That was for 2003, Oerdin.

Last week, the Venezuelan Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Rafael Ramirez, declared that the International Energy Agency (IEA) has recognized that Venezuela is extracting over 3.0 million barrels of oil per day. This revised figure would be a tremendous coup for the Venezuelan government, which has been maintaining that production is at 3.3. million, not the 2.6 million barrels per day that the opposition and international oil analysts have claimed. While a special section of the IEA’s March 2006 report indeed indicates that in 2005 oil production was close to 3.1 million barrels per day (mbpd) in 2005, all recent IEA monthly reports still indicate a crude production of only 2.6 to 2.7 mbpd. The reason for the lack of consistency in the reporting appears to have its roots in what types of oil are counted and what are not.

He cannot rule by decree. He's not a dictator, anymore than Bush was a dictator simply because the GOP Congress rubber stamped most of his wishes and provided no oversight.

Venezuela's Hugo Chavez sworn in
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez
President Chavez wants to extend his "socialist revolution"
Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez has been sworn in for a third term after his election victory in December.

As he took the oath, Mr Chavez said he would give up his "entire life to the construction of Venezuelan socialism".

The president has already promised to extend his "Bolivarian revolution" and called on the National Assembly to give him the power to rule by decree.

After the ceremony he flew to Nicaragua for the inauguration of President-elect Daniel Ortega.

'Socialist credentials'

Before the swearing-in, Mr Chavez laid a wreath at the tomb of 19th-century South American independence leader Simon Bolivar.

In front of a full Congress, Mr Chavez was sworn in to chants of "Long live socialism".

Mr Chavez broke with tradition and wore the presidential sash over his left shoulder, instead of the right, in what he said was a symbol of his socialist credentials, Reuters news agency reported.

"I swear on Christ, the greatest socialist in history; I swear on all this; I swear on all grief; I swear on all love; I swear on all hopes," Mr Chavez said.

He also repeated his desire for a constitutional amendment that would scrap limits to the number of consecutive terms a president can serve.

This would allow him to run again for office after his new term expires in 2013.

It is such plans that have led his critics to say Mr Chavez is following the road of his ally in Cuba, Fidel Castro.

Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck ...

Called on and have are two different things.

[BlackCat]

Yeah, but wouldn't you wait until you were sure to get it, before you called for it

Chavez needs to go. A bullet in his head is a viable option.

However, not until there is the most likely second in command, who is actually competent.

It must be great, being able to sit down at your computer and decide who should live and who should die, who should be president, or not, of a country you're not even a citizen of. Perhaps you should run for President of the US. Or get a better grip on reality.

You are aware of the fact that it is SC aka Pekka that you are offending ???

[techumseh]

SC aka Pekka? Is that some sort of Hungarian rapper?
