Looney alert: Hugo Chavez is toughening up his military to prepare for a war against U.S. troops.

He said Venezuela’s military has begun instilling in soldiers the concept of “asymmetric war” – in which guerrilla tactics like hit–and–run attacks are used to counter a stronger military force.

“It’s our responsibility to prepare ourselves for a war of resistance,” Chavez said during his weekly broadcast.

The U.S. government has repeatedly denied Chavez’s claims that it is considering a military attack to oust him. But Chavez warned U.S. President George W. Bush not to try it.

Chavez said Bush would “totally bite the dust” if he tried to attack Venezuela.

Heh – bite the dust. That’s funny little moron talk.

Thanks for making my day Hugo.
