After all, Hugo Chavez decided to seize control of all oil projects in Venezuella which foreign companies have invested $17 billion in, why should we allow Citgo to operate freely in the US? I wonder how Joe Kennedy would feel about us using his buddy's tactics?

The stations are owned by individual business owners. What would our government prove by seizing them? that they are fascists AGAIN? The difference is that the oil in Venezuella is actually Venezuella's. He seized control of the oil projects but the US oil companies are still operating them just for a heavier and more fare fee.

I am not a fan of Joe, but Bush is worse. No, we should not seize Citgo operations. Remember the world doesn't agree with Bush, just the countries we paid to agree with us and threatened to bomb if they did not.

A majority of those CITGO stations in the U.S. are privately owned i.e franchise. HELLO

Bush upset the oil companies? Don't make us laugh.
Do yourself a favor and lay off the Koolaid.

Yes. We should invade Venezuela and kidnap Hugo Chavez. Then swing by Cuba and pick up Fidel, Iran and pick up Mahmoud, and Bolivia to pick up Eva. We can then ship them to a place where no man is ever heard from again....a liberal gulag.....Air America.
