Russia: Chavez To Seal Arms Deal
By Claire Bigg
After Belarus, Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez heads to Russia to conclude an arms deal likely to raise eyebrows in Washington.
MOSCOW, July 25, 2006 (RFE/RL) – Venezuela's flamboyant president, Hugo Chavez, is due to arrive in Russia on July 25 for a two-day visit during which is expected to conclude a major deal to buy 30 fighter jets and 30 helicopters from Russia.
The deal is large -- worth over $1 billion, according to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov -- and an important breakthrough for Russia's arms industry.
The agreement is also vital for Chavez, whose strained relations with the United States are preventing Venezuela from upgrading its fleet of U.S.-built fighter jets

| Chavez needs to be taken out. How long before he sneaks one of his terrorists across our border? They maybe already here. |

Yep they could be, and if Bush has his way there will be a lot more of them coming across!
I think we need to take all the world leaders, ours included, and put them on an island by themselves and let them fight over things instead of letting innocent young men and woman die over politics of wanna be "kings"! Let them fight it out and whoever is the tougher of the bunch can run the island for the rest of their lives! 
Take care.
