Venezuela again claims Colombia seeks to detonate a ‘US-backed’ war

http://colombiareports.com/venezuela-claims-colombia-seeks-detonate-us-backed-war/

Venezuela’s Vice-President has accused Colombia of working with the United States in an alleged international effort to ignite a war against the country.

During a Congress session, Aristobulo Isturiz announced that the United States is using Colombia to put pressure on Venezuela and assist with a CIA-backed initiative called “Operation Tenaza.”

“Operation Tenaza aims to position Colombia against Venezuela in order to detonate a war, and seeks to use Guyana so that the two neighboring countries on the East and West sides will pressure Venezuela in order to facilitate a US intervention,” Isturiz told Congress.

-----------------
During a governmental television broadcast yesterday, Isturiz also claimed he believed former president Hugo Chavez was murdered, though the leader’s death in March 2013 has been attributed to his two year battle with cancer. Though Isturiz admits he has no proof, he believes the social achievements of Chavez’ socialist government was a threat that made him a “target to be eliminated,” as reported by Terra News.

I've told them 100 times they need to get their shit together. Christ almighty, we can't expect the CIA to do everything!
