RE: Venezuela's Political Disaster - September 18, 2005
Dear Journalists,
Below please find link to Internationalist Pedro Mario Burelli's comments on Chavez's visit to the United Nations earlier this week responding to article published in The Washington Post yesterday "Chavez Stirs Things Up at the U.N.Venezuelan Leader Wins Cheers With Rant Against U.S."
