Plan Balboa Paranoia

From Fox News' Political Grapevine:

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez recently accused the U.S. military of planning to invade his country, even naming the secret military operation — called Plan Balboa — that he said was already underway to overthrow his government.

Turns out, Plan Balboa really does exist, but only as a military training exercise in Spain. The Spanish military designed the Internet-based game in 2001 to train senior officers. Chavez caught wind of Plan Balboa, which involves a country similar to Venezuela, code-named "Brown,” after two Venezuelan officers enrolled in the Spanish training course. Both Spain and the U.S. flatly deny any plans to invade Venezuela.
