[lbo-talk] Here, the article that prompted Chavez' comment wrt Haiti and the quake

[James Heartfield]

Doug writes: 'Why on earth would the U.S. want to destroy Haiti? To provoke more boat people? To lower the minimum wage, now $3 a day? ' and 'Chavez has enough to worry about without embracing nonsense like this.'

But given the ambiguity about what has been attributed to him, it seems better to respond to what he did say, which is that the US was using the earthquake as a pretext for a military invasion.
