An Offer of Assistance
In a striking bit of irony, Venezuelan President Pat Robertson said the United States should assassinate, has offered food and assistance to the Gulf Coast area ravaged by Katrina and subsequent flooding, according to a report by Yahoo! News.
“We place at the disposition of the people of the United States in the event of shortages — we have drinking water, food, we can provide fuel,” Chavez told reporters.
A frequent critic of the United States and a target himself of US disapproval, Chavez last week offered discount gasoline to poor Americans suffering from high oil prices and on Sunday offered free eye surgery for Americans without access to health care.
There is apparently no word as yet on whether the United States will accept the offer.
