Caribbean islands benefit from 'PetroCaribe' - 13 Jul 08

[LouisianaGatorGirl]

It's great that there's a world leader like Hugo Chavez who seems genuinely concerned about the welfare of poor countries, as shown by his providing low cost oil to the Dominican Republic in this news item. He's the one world leader I admire the most.

[chillaxin201]

everything they said is true .....John The Dominican lol.... funny

[choppermfg]

I commend Al Jazera they are most informative news channel in the world.

Thanks

[johntheDOMINICAN]

no AL JAZERA is full of propaganda. they are the worst

[choppermfg]

what propoganda u are talking about.........and what's better then al jazeera

[johntheDOMINICAN]

al jazeera sucks. point blank. what they say is 50% true.

[choppermfg]

ok tell me what it is not true..........give me one sample

[tunbagobierno]

90 % IT'S BULLSHIT,Aljazeera sucks!

[tunbagobierno]

And you know what's funny too?

I'd bet that woman they interviewed about the electricity and is complaining about the service,does not have a meter in her house..Guaranteed! and that's the kind of people they try to get for their negative propaganda!

[AlyBlack]

Israel built the desalination plant in Curacao.

[aIAndalus]

Israel also builds nuclear bombs, your point?

[kristofferdub]

Chavez is portrayed as an evil man through the eyes of the US media.

Why?

[Kamal767]

Because he is a socialist.

[teemuruskeepaa]

And socialism means anarchism for the elite owners of the capitalist US.

[ce1estia1]

cause of what he has said

[cooldude91801]

$6/ Gallon? How much do people make per month there?

[nickvanzetti]

Long live Hugo Chavez's greatness and the example of both the Bolivarian Revolution and Cuban Revolution.

[jabzulani]

Long live them all!!! Hugo Chavez and Morales, are portrayed as Demons in The US, but look at what the situation would be there had he not been halping. USA hates them because these men are true leaders the type of which the US and much of the 1st world hasnt ever known, because they serve the people, the majority and not the interests of the rich few... Long live them!!!

[ijosdeputisima]

Viva Chavez¡¡¡¡¡¡

alahakbar¡¡¡¡¡

[macheteland]

more then generous!!!!! they all should follow his example!!!!grande chavez!!

[GWOZ0Z0]

Chavez over Bush in a heart beat.

[Organjic]

I want to move there! Probably free gas!

[Daritto7117]

hahahahhaha free gas along with a corrupt government and a shity society :)

[clockworkorange1986]

lmao funny comment. so I guess our government isnt corrupt? and our society isnt shitty? what a bubble you live in

[Daritto7117]

Our government has policies such as lobbying and guantanamo bay that might sound bad but to america its perfectly leagle. But our government has checks and balences and is DEMOCRATICALLY FAIRLY ELECTED. We are a democratic republic are we not? I live just fine. Its not my problem that you live in some ghetto area where poor gangsters reign high.

I pay my taxes. I work. I live in a good neighborhood. I make my money fairly. Whats so bad about that?

[clockworkorange1986]

ahhh, typical arrogant ethnocentric prick who thumbs his nose down at everyone. you are the kind of people that embarrass fellow Americans such as myself. I bet you're one of those people who go around saying America is the greatest country in the world; how petty and childish, thats like claiming you have the best mother.

[clockworkorange1986]

let me tell you something you obviously don't know; the dominican republic is modeled after the U.S government, there is checks and balances there, leonel was elected by the people. A FAIR ELECTION. and then you assume I live in a ghetto where gangsters reign? lmao wtf? grow up

[Daritto7117]

America is the greatest country in the world.

Period. End of Discussion :)

I really didn't understand what the hell you were trying to say about the Dominican Rep. But I like your use of grammer im ethnocentric

[clockworkorange1986]

How petty can you be. Greatest country in the world? lmao what are we the greatest at? Our GDP? Well sure, but lets take into account that this country has the most uneven income distribution in the industrial world. also add that 10% of this country owns 70% of the wealth. Please tell me what exactly we're number 1 at? Cultural dominance? Yeah I can give you that. But tell me about things that actually matter. We're behind third world countries in Education, Healthcare, Life expectancy.

[Daritto7117]

Were the greatest country in the world. Period. End of Discussion. Your just jealous :P

How come we are the only Superpower on earth as of right now? Who cares if they own most of the wealth. They earned it and if your parents got a better education then they too could have succeded in life. Sucks for you :)

[clockworkorange1986]

First of all I'm American you moron. Second, why couldn't you answer any of the questions? What exactly is American number 1 at? Read my previous post again.

[Daritto7117]

I don't care that your american?!? So what, we have Americans at guantanamo bay and in Prison. Were the greatest country in the world. Period. End of Discussion. Your just jealous :P

America is #1. Our Economy drives the WORLD Economy. If America falls so will the world.

What happened when the Roman Empire fell. Europe fell into the Middle Ages for hundreds of years.

Hence proving my point :)

God Bless America you Unpatriotic Son of a Bitch :)

Have a Great Day :D

[clockworkorange1986]

lmao thank you for ignoring the topic at hand once again. we're behind third world countries in health, education, life expectancy, etc. yet you believe we're number 1 and all you can say is your jealous, you mean you're*** jealous. keep telling yourself that. its morons like you that drag us down.

[Daritto7117]

We are the only Super Power on this Planet. Even China can't be classified in this category to date. If you ask people on this planet where they would want to move most of them say AMERICA or New York or Chicago. Everyone wants the American Dream.

I pity you for being so negative towards the country you live in. If you don't like it, then leave, and us republicans will be more than happy to turn a blind eye and let more illeagle migrant workers come in and take your place :]

[clockworkorange1986]

yet again you didn't answer my question. stating the facts is being negative? don't be a moron. we are not number 1 in education, health, etc. that is a fact. I WANT US TO BE NUMBER 1 in all those areas. but its morons like you that continue to live in a bubble and think we somehow are number 1 in everything which leaves us exactly in the shit situation we are in

[Daritto7117]

It makes me so happy to see you irritated and possibly angry. Thank you for making my day.

America is still #1 and we rule. Im sorry that you want to see america falter so bad but Im afraid that you cant do anything :]

Shit situation? Were doing far better then the poor tibetans, or the hungry africans with bloated bellys.

I have consistantly answered your question, yet you are too blind to see it for yourself. Im so sorry your life sucks so much. If you dont like the USA, join al qaeda

[Buddha192]

how old are you? insulting poor Tibetans and hungry Africans. wow bro, get a life

[Daritto7117]

hahaha who the fuck are you bitch?!?!

I wasn't insulting them mothafucka!! I was mearly stating their fucking poor situations.

Yes poor tibetans and hungry ass africans!! You act like this is insulting too them dumbass when its the fucking truth?!? And you're telling me to get a life.

How old am I?? What are you a fucking PEDOPHILE!?!?!!

[Buddha192]

you're so immature. a grown man who acts like a child. the sadness reeks

[bertilman]

number one in crime

number one drugs

biggest jails

economy? 50% drop on the dollar world wide

=D

[Daritto7117]

Hahha you laugh but when Ameirca invades Iran and world war 3 starts you wont be saying that.

When America falls, like the roman empire did, the world will suffer to just like how the fall of the Roman Empire rushed in the middle ages :)

[bertilman]

hahahaha yes im sure the world will an is being afected but BUT for the ppl it will be mostly good

for example i live in Chile and all the imported stuf like cellphone for example are cheaper here then they are in the US and i go to the US a lot so dont say i dont know what im talking about

[Organjic]

Bush's Genocide! HOLY SHIT!

[bigblue4321]

Great story.Very nice.

[buntik1687]

Chavez is a good friend of the Caribbean. We should form a Union just like Europe.

[Daritto7117]

aaahahahahahaha!!!!

lol, what power will they have?

atleast the European Union is made up of rich nations that can back their promises...

[jerkinp]

The Caribbean may not be much but both states in Central and or South America would have great potential if they unified. South America has several amounts of resources and other wealth. The only problem is that the United States would continually attempt to destabilize and stop such proceedings by pitting one state against another. Just like how they use Colombia. A democratic and federated South America would be powerful. An so would a unified Central America.

[ce1estia1]

your making no sense... there is only South America

[Daritto7117]

No. The problem is the paranoid haters like you.

America can't help what it does. Just because America donates billions of dollars to Colombia, even though one of the richest oil nations is right next to it (venezuela), is just a coincidence.

America wants to make money in South America. It can't help the facts that by it creating money in South America, its causing internal issues for South Americans.

Long Stoy Short, [Its there problem, not ours]

:)

[Testesgirl]

I dont mean to be rude, and I hope you dont curse me out for saying, but you are in serious need of a socio-world economics class...you need to understand how globalization has and is playing a part into why there are certain countries who thrive and others that do not. It has nothing to do with America being great..its alot more complex then that.

Do you ever wonder why those "hungry ass Africans" are so hungry, but yet they live in a country that has large amounts of natural resources?

[minidish]

God Bless Chavez
