Venezuela Pres. Hugo Chavez Blames US For Russia-Georgia Conflict

The Venezuelan crazy man has accused the U.S. of "incitement of violence" between Russia and Georgia.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez accused the United States of masterminding the current conflict between Georgia and Russia.

A statement from Chavez's government Thursday alleged that the conflict was "planned, prepared and ordered" by Washington in an "incitement of violence."

Venezuela is a close ally of Russia, which it says has acted to protect local residents from "unacceptable acts of violence" perpetrated by Georgian troops.

Venezuela's statement saluted steps toward peace in South Ossetia, saying Russia's stance had been in line with international accords.
