US launches major military exercises in the Caribbean as a warning to Venezuela and Cuba

ZNet |Venezuela | US launches major military exercises in the Caribbean as a warning to Venezuela and Cuba

According to a press release by the US Southern Command on Monday, March 27: "A U.S. Navy Carrier Strike Group will deploy from the U.S. east coast to the Caribbean Sea to conduct Operation Partnership of the Americas from early April through late May 2006." The strike group will be composed of "aircraft carrier USS George Washington ... carrying 60 fighter planes, and a total of 6,500 soldiers on a major military exercise in the Caribbean ... The stated aims of this exercise are: "enhancing military-to-military relationships with regional partner nations, improving operational readiness, and fostering good will." By "fostering good will" what is meant is sending a strong message to Venezuela and Cuba. The commander of the US Southcom General Bantz Craddock has on many occasions attacked the Venezuelan government. The decision to send this unusually large force to the Caribbean was announced just two weeks after General Craddok spoke at a US Senate committee hearing in which he called the Venezuelan government a "destabilizing force" because of its moves in the international arena, as well as ongoing efforts to purchase weapons, particularly from China.

... get that "The GW Naval Strike" ... now couple it with the fact that Venezuela is opening an investigation into the true nature/cause of 9-11, and Pat Robertson's very christian statement to 'take Chavez out'.
