Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez canceled a trip to Cuba this July 26, in the face of the probability of an attack to Venezuela from Colombia.
«I have decided to suspend the trip, because evaluating several intelligence informations, the possibility of an armed aggression from Colombia has a great probability, as never as possible in 100 years"
The Venezuelan leader accused United States of being behind any instigation to war in the region and pointed out that a US naval fleet in Costa Rica is there to avoid any regional reaction in solidarity with Venezuela before an attack.

Regarding Cuba's present situation, he said that al this historical moment «We will change all that should be changed, but without accepting external pressures, neither damages to our sovereignty, and keeping alive our dreams of justice for Cuba and for the world».
More than 90 000 people from Villa Clara, headed by President Raul Castro, attended the rally.

It looks like Chavez will need to stay home and watch is Generals. The way things are unfolding, Civil War in Venezuela is more realistic than a war with Columbia.

No civil war seems possible,let alone imminent,in Venezuela.Of course Chavez must be on the hit-list of US imperialists.War on drugs(war for drugs)is an alibi to justify US army presence in Columbia.CIA had tough time in seizing control of drug trade from drug mafia(CIA's drug empire extends from Columbia to Afghanistan).Armed intervention by US imperialists is quite probable,but Venezuela is Cuba not Chile.US administration's addiction to Vietnam needs rehabilitation.
