At U.N., Chavez Calls Bush 'The Devil'

UNITED NATIONS

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez took his verbal battle with the United States to the floor of the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday, calling President Bush "the devil."

"The devil came here yesterday," Chavez said, referring to Bush's address Tuesday. "He came here talking as if he were the owner of the world."

The leftist leader, who has joined Iran in opposing U.S. influence, accused Washington of "domination, exploitation and pillage of peoples of the world."

"We appeal to the people of the United States and the world to halt this threat, which is like a sword hanging over our head," he said.

He also said the U.N. "doesn't work" in its current system and is "antidemocratic." He called for reform, saying the U.S. government's "immoral veto" had allowed recent Israeli bombings of Lebanon to continue unabated for more than a month.

"Venezuela once again proposes today that we reform the United Nations," he said. He drew tentative giggles at times from the audience, but also some applause when called U.S. "imperialism" a menace.

Chavez lambasted Washington for trying to block Venezuela's campaign for a rotating seat on the U.N. Security Council. He said if chosen over U.S.-favorite Guatemala in a secret-ballot U.N. vote next month, Venezuela would be "the voice of the Third World."

The U.S. government warns that Chavez, a close ally of Iran, Syria and Cuba, would be a disruptive force on the council.

GOOD GRIEF!!!!

How I wish Bush would just step down (or be ousted) and let the VP or Rice finish out his term. This country would be so much better off.

His ratings are very high right now, why should he step down or be booted out?

We let lying, adulterous Clinton stay, but we should boot Christian Bush out........hmmm........

I don't like every thing Bush does and I liked almost nothing Clinton stood for but I feel we are very weak to allow these 2 filthy rotten America hating dictators to come in and diss any president and have a forum to spew their puke. I have changed my mind about what Pat Robertson said about Chavez. I will NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM CITCO AGAIN! What were we thinking!

Dictators eh, Chavez was elected in a democratic election, a much clearer victory than Bush 2000. Ahmadinejad was also elected albeit after having been deemed eligible to stand by a panel of Mullahs, the election itself was strongly contested. Anywat the point about the UN is that whilst within the USA it is neutral territory, open to all.

Clearly your not a big fan of free speech.

So, lets give ahmedinejad and chavez a platform to speak whatever they want about America, then let them leave and go back home to their country where if you so much as look at them wrong you will lose your eyes.

I don't mind letting them speak, it shows the world how crazy those two are and it just might sober us up.

I do think it is rediculous that any dictator that violates human rights, the foundation of our country, should be allowed to speak freely. Where is our country headed? In the last 2 weeks we have had 3 of the world's worst dictators speaking in our country. Who's next? Kim Jong Il, bin laden, saddam hussein?

America needs to wake up, these people are openly calling for our destruction and genocide. Why are they even allowed to enter our country? Do you think Bush could speak badly about Chavez in Venezuela? Ahmed in Iran? Or call for the destruction of their country?

Well, because he is one of biggest threats to the security of our country for starters.

Funny thing? People said the same of Abraham Lincoln who won reelection by a narrow margin. Grant was holding his breath not sure if the Civil War would end short of victory or if he would be allowed to bring it to a proper conclusion. I for one feel safer that Bush is in offcie and am more concerned what will happen in a couple of years when we have a new administration. I hope they have the resolve and due dillegence to seek out and destrpy evil at the root.
