I don't know that they do. It's not my top priority. I might look into it I might not.
LOL its ok, its ok, stick the head into the sand and learn to breath true the other end.....

I just don't believe everything I hear. You? Witnesses have been known to lie on the witness stand and there is certianly a possibility that the government could pressure them. Or are you saying this is an impossibility?the witnesses lied now
The failed coup in Venezuela was closely tied to senior officials in the US government, The Observer has established. They have long histories in the 'dirty wars' of the 1980s, and links to death squads working in Central America at that time.
Washington's involvement in the turbulent events that briefly removed left-wing leader Hugo Chavez from power last weekend resurrects fears about US ambitions in the hemisphere.
It also also deepens doubts about policy in the region being made by appointees to the Bush administration, all of whom owe their careers to serving in the dirty wars under President Reagan.
One of them, Elliot Abrams, who gave a nod to the attempted Venezuelan coup, has a conviction for misleading Congress over the infamous Iran-Contra affair.
The Bush administration has tried to distance itself from the coup. It immediately endorsed the new government under businessman Pedro Carmona. But the coup was sent dramatically into reverse after 48 hours.
Now officials at the Organisation of American States and other diplomatic sources, talking to The Observer, assert that the US administration was not only aware the coup was about to take place, but had sanctioned it, presuming it to be destined for success.
Why is it so important? I concede that my government does things I don't particularly like. There are a million things I can spend my time on. Why do I need to spend time on this one? I'm looking for some opposing views. I'll put some time into it but only so much. Hell, I spend most of my time in the R&P forum. It's my life. Calling me ignorant doesn't make it so.LOL its ok, its ok, stick the head into the sand and learn to breath true the other end.....

I'd like to see some opposition to this but I'm not so sure why this is as devestating as you think it is. Chavez has gone out of his way to be an enemy to America why should we help him? What if we helped the opposition? I wouldn't have done it but it's not the worst thing done by the Bush admin.
I have no idea. I don't simply accept everything I hear. That's all. If the weight of the evidence is in favor of it then fine. I'm just telling you that I've been around the block a time or two.sure it is possible. But was it the case?
what parts was lied in his convesion?

Given that you only talk about one issue it's clear that you are far more ignorant than I. I care about many issues and not just America and Venezuela.
Here's a hint. It's NOT mine....my top priority is indeed Venezuela...

I'm going to bed. Your ego and Venezuela's honor will just have to wait.
But seriously, get over yourself. There are a lot of things for Americans to worry about and Venezuela isn't the number one priority. It's isn't even in the top 1,000. Yes, really.
INform yourself ffs, yes that is what happened..
its never the US fault especially not when they overtrow elected governments.
