Coup in Venezuela According to the NYTimes the army has ousted President Chavez.
A Venezuelan general said on Thursday that President Hugo Chavez's government had ``abandoned its functions'' and the country was under the control of the armed forces.National Guard Gen. Alberto Camacho Kairuz made the announcement on local television after senior military officers blamed the president for violence during a huge anti-Chavez protest march in which at least 10 people were killed.
``All of the country is under the control of the national armed forces,'' Camacho said.
Well, that's a relief....
Armies are great for fighting. They suck when it comes to running a country.
