Chavez to launch new state airline in Venezuela
CARACAS, Venezuela
President Hugo Chavez says his government plans to take over a Caracas-based airline and relaunch it as "social property."
Aeropostal Alas de Venezuela has been in state hands since late last year, when a raid on one of its owners uncovered 880 pounds (400 kilograms) of cocaine.
Chavez did not say Wednesday if he would nationalize the airline now or await the results of a drug trafficking case against Abdala, Alex and Basel Makled -- three brothers who own the carrier.
A conviction may let the government confiscate, rather than pay for, the airline.
Big pimpin' Chavez...mo money, mo problemsThe Apologist In Chief, Judi Lynn, is defending this as usual.
Notice that Bush did 9/11, a conspiracy that involved a cast of thousands, but Chavez couldn't POSSIBLY have planted drugs as a ruse to get hs own airline. Fat bastard.
