Hugo is at it again
The Hemisphere Trade Talks sound like more fun than Mike Tyson's return.

Mr. Chávez, who has repeatedly accused the Bush administration of trying to assassinate him and invade his oil-producing country, is using the international summit meeting here to protest the administration's free trade message and to attempt a showdown with Mr. Bush, the man the Venezuelan government calls "Mr. Danger."

Air Force One landed shortly after 8 p.m. on a rainy spring evening, and Mr. Bush went immediately to his hotel, the Sheraton Mar del Plata, on a bluff overlooking the Atlantic.

Mr. Bush and Mr. Chávez are expected to see each other Friday in a group session at the opening of the Summit of the Americas, a two-day, 34-nation gathering. The meeting is officially to focus on creating jobs and promoting democracy. But Mr. Chávez said this week that his main goal at the meeting was the "final burial" of the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas accord, which is already stalled.

The White House strategy is to ignore Mr. Chávez as much as possible. "President Chávez has been pretty vocal about how he sees the summit and what he hopes to achieve at the summit," Thomas A. Shannon, the assistant secretary of state for inter-American affairs, told reporters on Air Force One on Thursday as it headed for Argentina. "I mean, he's going to behave the way he wants to behave."

8. Bush is the dictator


Bush is a dictator in a "FREE" nation with a "Free" Press.

The quotes are from our dictator George.
