Chavez says US ambassador must leave
Quote
Chavez said Thursday night that U.S. Ambassador Patrick Duddy is no longer welcome, just as his close ally Bolivia expelled the American envoy from La Paz a day earlier.

"They're trying to do here what they were doing in Bolivia," Chavez said, accusing Washington of trying to oust him.

"That's enough ... from you, Yankees," he said during a televised rally, using an expletive.

The socialist leader said Venezuela's ambassador to Washington, Bernardo Alvarez, would return to the U.S. "when there's a new government in the United States."

"Go to hell, shit yankees, we are a dignified people, go to hell 100 times," Chavez shouted at a political rally to thousands of roaring supporters.

If I hadn't "read a book", I would consider that the US is going to be attacked from South/ Central America. It certainly seems as if the folks down there are attempting to get on a war footing, especially with the joint ops with Russia going on.

What "book" would that be?
