Venezuelan authorities denied with indignation an accusation by US Rev. Pat Robertson that Venezuela is preparing a nuclear attack against the United States.
Venezuelan Vice President Jose Vicente Rangel asserted Venezuela is willing to launch "love, affection, and appreciation" to the US people, but the true atomic bomb threatening the United States is President George W. Bush.
The Venezuelan vice president said that another accusation, that Chavez finances Osama Bin Laden, is beyond logic and rationalism.
Speaking at Monday’s celebration of Venezuelan Soldier’s Day, Rangel said the significance of the new accusation by the evangelical minister, who earlier called for assassinating President Hugo Chavez, was who is behind him, and recalled that he is President Bush’s spiritual advisor.
A man who announces a policy to kill a president should be tried in any democratic country the vice president stressed, and expressed surprise at US official silence on the statements.
Because the religious is very close to the US Executive, it confirms that terrorism has a double meaning for the White House.
He said this kind of thing is why 67 percent of US citizens, including whites and Republicans, repudiate Bush.
In a Venezolana de Television interview, US attorney Eva Golinger, who divulged official documents about US interference in Venezuela, said Robertson is being used by the most reactionary sectors to try and get the public to relate Venezuela with the Al Qaeda terrorist network.
She said those who do not know the truth only hear those arguments intended to frighten, and recalled that the Bush government unleashed a war based on false information and lies.
What Robertson says is nothing to worry about, but what is behind him is, the researcher concluded.
