Venezuela Bars Bush And Cheney As 'Terrorists'

http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/uncucumbered/venezuela_bars_bush_and_cheney_as_terrorists

Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduro announced sweeping new travel restriction for American tourists in a speech last Saturday, including the requirement that all Americans traveling to Venezuela first obtain a visa.

“In order to protect our country..." proclaimed Presidnt Maduro, "I have decided to implement a system of compulsory visas for all Americans entering Venezuela.”

President Maduro said American tourists will now have to pay a fee comparable to the one Venezuelans pay to visit the U.S.

According to RT.com, President Maduro went on to announce former president George W. Bush and vice president Dick Cheney will not be among those granted a travel visa. The Venezuelan president says they are banned as "terrorists" for their actions in Iraq. Also named as persona non-grata were Republicans Senator Marco Rubio and Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, as well as Democratic senator Robert Menendez.
