Venezuela military, civilians prep for U.S. 'invasion'
http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-ven04.html

SAN JUAN DE LAS GALDONAS, Venezuela -- Camouflaged soldiers jumped from boats into the surf and waded ashore in a mock assault Thursday, the latest in a series of Venezuelan military exercises preparing for a U.S. invasion that President Hugo Chavez warns could come.

Hundreds of men, women and children met the troops on the beach shouting ''Gringos go home!'' and ''Freedom!'' The soldiers ignored them and hiked into their small fishing town, stone-faced as they spread out and took control.

Other Venezuelan troops, playing the part of resistance forces, hid nearby in the mountains that run along the Caribbean coast.
