On November 26, 2007 the Venezuelan government broadcast and
circulated a confidential memo from the US embassy to the CIA which is
devastatingly revealing of US clandestine operations and which will
influence the referendum this Sunday, December 2, 2007.

The memo sent by an embassy official, Michael Middleton Steere, was
addressed to the Director of Central Intelligence, Michael Hayden. The
memo was entitled 'Advancing to the Last Phase of Operation Pincer'
and updates the activity by a CIA unit with the acronym 'HUMINT'
(Human Intelligence) which is engaged in clandestine action to
destabilize the forth-coming referendum and coordinate the civil
military overthrow of the elected Chavez government.

Oh good. If we are lucky they'll collapse into civil war. Then we
can bail from Iraq and get stuck in a civil war closer to home. It's
no better, of course, but the troops can get home to visit the family
more often. It makes sense since Venezuela is another oil rich
country.

If we are lucky they will have a civil war and Chavez, his Cuban military and Iranian mercs will all be killed.
