Evangelist Robertson Says U.S. Should Kill Chavez
Aug. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Television evangelist Pat Robertson told viewers of ``The 700 Club'' program that the U.S. should kill Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to stop the Latin American country becoming a ``launching pad'' for extremism.
Chavez, 51, has repeatedly accused U.S. President George W. Bush of backing efforts to topple his government, a charge the U.S. denies. The U.S. has alleged Venezuela is using its oil to undermine democracy in Latin America. Venezuela, the U.S.'s fourth-largest oil supplier, has threatened to cut off supplies.
``We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come to exercise that ability,'' Robertson said yesterday on the program, an audiotape of which was posted on the Web site of the Christian Broadcasting Network, founded by the cleric and based in Virginia Beach, Virginia. ``This is a dangerous enemy to our south controlling a huge pool of oil.''
Robertson said that Chavez is going to make Venezuela a ``launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism all over the continent.'' Killing Chavez, who is currently visiting Cuba, would be cheaper than starting a war, he said.
``We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one strong-arm dictator,'' Robertson said. ``It's a whole lot easier to let some of the covert operatives to do the job and get it over with.''
Chavez, who became president in February 1999, was overthrown in a coup in April 2002 and regained power two days later. The U.S., which didn't immediately condemn the overthrow of the Venezuelan leader, has rejected accusations by Chavez that it helped plan the coup.
