> Xinhuanet | January 31 2005
> The United States is preparing a future invasion of Venezuela to 
> control the petroleum of the South American country as it did in Iraq, 
> said Venezuela's acting ambassador to Paraguay, Elmer Nino.
> Nino, cited Thursday by local Paraguayan daily ABC Color, said the 
> present diplomatic crisis between Venezuela and Colombia was created 
> by the United States as part of its future plans for an invasion.
> The Venezuelan oil reserves have a strategic value as they will last 
> 350 years at the present exploitation level, the diplomat was quoted 
> as saying.
> Venezuela is Latin America's second largest oil producer behind Mexico 
> and the principal oil exporter in the region.
> Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez froze his country's diplomatic and 
> commercial ties with Colombia in early January to protest whathe 
> called Colombia's "kidnapping" of a rebel leader in Caracas, the 
> Venezuelan capital, which he considered as a violation of Venezuelan 
> national sovereignty.
> The government of Colombia rejected Chavez's demand to make apologies 
> to end the dispute.
> With respect to Paraguayan President Nicanor Duarte's position on the 
> Caracas-Bogota crisis, the ambassador said it has been neutral.
