Hugo Chavez Calls Bush a 'Coward' The Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has severely criticized the war in Iraq, calling U.S. President George W. Bush a "coward" for not taking personal command of U.S. troops in Iraq. In his harshest words for Bush in months, Chavez yesterday also urged God to free the world of the threat posed by "Mr.Danger" - a nickname he frequently uses for Bush - and accused Washington of leading efforts to isolate his "revolutionary" Government. "I'm going to tell you something Mr. Danger: You are a coward, do you know that?" Chavez said. "Why don't you go to Iraq to command your armed forces? It's very easy to command them from so far away." Chavez, who was hosting yesterday's programme from Venezuela's sun-baked plains, recited lyrics from a local folk song. "I sting those who rattle me, Mr. Danger" said Chavez, announcing he would help defend this oil-rich South American nation if U.S. forces ever invaded.--------------------------------------------------- Please help our fight against the New World Order by giving a donation.
