Chavez: I'll be at U.N. summit on horseback if needed

HAVANA (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said he would travel alone to the U.N. General Assembly in New York -- on horseback if necessary -- after slamming Washington for denying visas for his security and medical team.

"They denied visas for my security and my doctors. They don't want my advance party in New York," Chavez said on Thursday when arriving in communist Cuba for a summit of the Non-Aligned Movement of developing nations.

"I'm going even if I have to go alone, with Fidel ... (and) on horseback," said Chavez.

Chavez constantly lambastes the United States and has tried to rally countries to an anti-U.S. front to promote socialism around the world. Washington accuses Venezuela of using its oil wealth to destabilise democracy in the region.

1. Shit! I fear for his safety

Coming to NY without security is dangerous for him. Chimpy might have him arrested.
And Fidel too! He's well enough to travel on horseback?
Cuban doctors are the greatest!

6. God Bless Hugo Chavez.

The world is a better place for him being in it.

On the whole, he has said only a couple minor things I disagree with.

He's a blessing to humanity...
