Hugo Chavez: Tony Blair Can 'Go to Hell' Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez calls British Prime Minister Tony Blair "a pawn of imperialism," accusing him of siding with President Bush in a confrontation with Venezuela. He also had a few other choice words for the UK's prime minister. "Stay in your place, Mr. Blair, you are not one that has the morality to criticise anyone," Chavez said during a speech. "Venezuela is a free nation. Do you believe we're still in times of imperialism and colonialism? "Go right to hell, Mr. Blair," Chavez added, using local slang that is more vulgar, according to Reuters. Chavez said he will have to search for a nickname for the British leader just as he now calls President Bush "Mr. Danger," although during his speech Chavez said Blair was an ally of "Hitler Danger Bush Hitler." A spokeswoman for Blair's office said Chavez "is entitled to his views." She spoke on condition of anonymity, in line with government policy. Chavez's broadside came after Blair urged Venezuela to abide by the rules of the international community, adding he would like to see true democracy in communist-led Cuba, Venezuela's closest ally in Latin America. "I say with the greatest respect to the president of Venezuela that when he forms an alliance with Cuba, I would prefer to see Cuba a proper functioning democracy," Blair said in Parliament. Chavez said it was Blair who blatantly violated international law by sending British troops to join the U.S.-led war in Iraq. "You are precisely the one of those who has disrespected international law the most ... siding with Mr. Danger to trample the people in Iraq." --------------------------------------------------- Get Alex Jones and Paul Joseph Watson's books, ALL Alex's documentary films, films by other authors, audio interviews and special reports.
