This is probably nothing to worry about, but I thought I'd mention it just in case. LJ user [http://tafyrn.livejournal.com/|Tafyrn] [http://community.livejournal.com/peak_oil/370248.html|posted something] on the Peak_Oil LJ community about how the US Navy has a bunch of ships in the Caribbean. Venezuelan Prez Hugo Chavez is letting his understandable paranoia of the Bush Administration get the better of him because he's apparently saying this is a possible prelude to an attack on his country by the US.
Chavez has also claimed in recent days that his country has more oil than Saudi Arabia. If that's true his concern of an American invasion just might be justified. However, for now, his concern seems to be overblown. Our sights are on Iran, not his country. Besides, we can't nuke Venezuela--the nuclear fallout would likely end up in the US.
Anyway, you can read more about it [http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1152AP_Carrier_Deployment.html|in an article] at SeattlePI.Com or [http://community.livejournal.com/peak_oil/370248.html|take part in the discussion] on Peak_Oil.
