Venezuela Attacks Guyanese Boats

Remember the stories some time ago about Hugo Chavez buying arms for his soldiers? Well now you have some idea of why. Looks like Chavez is going the way of many previous dictators, attacking a neighbor.

Venezuela 'attacked Guyana boats'

Venezuela has denied destroying two gold-mining dredges on Guyanese territory following a strong protest from Guyana's government.

Guyana says 36 Venezuelan soldiers used helicopters and Compostion-4 (C-4), a type of plastic explosive, to blow up the two dredges on Thursday.

It has summoned Venezuela's ambassador to explain the incident.

Venezuela denies using force and said the army was removing illegal miners inside its own territory.

Here we go, it's the old "border dispute" dodge. Just like Hitler had a "border dispute" with Belgium, Poland, France and Russia.

This guy is going to start a war down there.
