The president of the National Assembly, Cilia Flores, said that President Barack Obama’s government has turned out to be “worse” than that of his predecessor, George W. Bush.

Flores said yesterday that Obama had dared to do what the Republican ex-President never did, namely installing military bases in Colombia to “attack Venezuela.”

“When we thought it could not get any worse [than Bush]," Flores added, Obama, who “initially looked like a Hollywood hero,” appears.

The deputy made these statements at the end of the session of parliament in which she was re-elected by the pro-government majority as president of the N.A. for 2010.

President Hugo Chavez considers the military treaty signed last year between the United States and Colombia to be a “threat to the revolution.” This treaty permits U.S. troops to use at least seven bases in Colombia.

According to Chavez, the “empire” has plans to “attack” Venezuela, using Colombia as a “platform” along with the islands of Aruba and Curacao, an assertion that all of these countries have denied.

Washington, the Colombian authorities, and the governments of the Caribbean Islands which are possessions of Holland have asserted that the U.S. forces in those countries are acting purely within the framework of applicable anti-drug accords.



"Obama es peor que Bush"

La presidenta de la Asamblea Nacional, Cilia Flores, critica que el mandatario estadounidense se atrevió a hacer cosas que no hizo su predecesor

La presidenta de la Asamblea Nacional, Cilia Flores, dijo que el Gobierno del presidente estadounidense, Barack Obama, ha resultado ser “peor” que el de su predecesor, George W. Bush.

Flores argumentó ayer que Obama se ha atrevido a hacer lo que no hizo el ex presidente republicano, como es “instalar” unas bases militares en Colombia para “agredir a Venezuela”.

“Cuando pensábamos que no podía haber nada peor” que Bush, aparece Obama, quien “se presentó en principio con la “mascarada” de ser “el héroe de la película”, añadió Flores.

La diputada hizo esas declaraciones al término de la sesión parlamentaria en la que fue reelegida por la mayoría oficialista como presidenta de la AN para el período 2010.

El presidente Hugo Chávez considera una “amenaza” para su “revolución” el acuerdo militar firmado el año pasado entre Estados Unidos y Colombia, que permite a militares estadounidenses utilizar al menos siete bases colombianas.

Según Chávez, el “imperio” tiene planes de “agredir” militarmente a Venezuela utilizando como “plataforma” a Colombia y también a las islas de Aruba y Curazao, lo que todos los señalados han negado.

Tanto Washington como las autoridades colombianas y de las islas caribeñas, pertenecientes a Holanda, han aseverado que las fuerzas estadounidenses en esos países actúan solo en el marco de los acuerdos antidrogas que mantienen vigentes.
