The man speaks truth.

Having neat toys and actually being able to use them...two completely different things.
Agreed, but, its not like the Colombians really have any experience in conventional warfare, and reportedly (wiki ftw), the Venezuelan military is rather well trained and led(not including the very high levels). Should be an interesting match until we jump in, if it ever happened anyways.
The Venezuelan military is soft and fat on bribes. They'd melt away at the first sign of real fighting.

That is a remarkably ill-informed statement. The Colombian military is far more experienced, better-trained and led than the Venezuelan military at present.

"Chávez, in other words, is very close to the climactic moment when he will announce that he is a poached egg and that he requires a very large piece of buttered toast so that he can lie down and take a soothing nap." - Christopher Hitchens, Slate.com

In other words, he's just this side of Kim Jong Ill for mental stability

Not nearly as close to Geosynchronous orbit as Mr. Chavez, though.

That description of Chavez is about hilarious too.
