Chavez Review: Two Thumbs Down

Fox News

Venezuelen strong man Hugo Chavez's review of President Bush's interview this week is in — and it's not good. Addressing the chamber of commerce in Vietnam, Chavez called the U.S. a "capitalist monster," one that will "never give up its plot" to overthrow him.

Chavez went on to say, "If they invade our country, we will do what the Vietnamese did-we will resist and defeat them." Chavez claims, "everything that comes from capitalism is the lowest rank of humankind, even lower than animals."

For the record, President Bush said on FOX News that he didn't consider Hugo Chavez a military threat, but did call him a threat to democracy.
