Amanda Martin says in the interview that there are 300 US marines on the Colombian border with Venezuela and that the right-wing paramilitaries are buying up land on both sides of the border to facilitate drugs trafficing - a pretext for invasion.

US military is heavily tied down in Iraq, but with popularity flagging, an invasion of Venezuela in the run-up to the 2008 Presidential Slections in the US may be a way in which the crazies hope to boost their popularity.

Unlike Iraq, 158,000 US soldiers wouldn't be needed to hold the country. The population is not as dispersed and not as willing to sacrifice for the mobilising force of Islam. A third of Venezuelans (Middle Class) would actively welcome a US intervention, and the US army's grasp of Spanish would be immeasurably better than its ignorance of Arabic.

A space worth watching, that's all.
