Chavez tells us to go to hell, threatens oil supply

Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez expels the U.S. ambassador "in solidarity with Bolivia." In a political rally he tells his supporters that "Yankees...go to hell a hundred times."

The U.S. is Venezeula's biggest oil customer, so one can imagine how much of Venezuela's economy depends on oil exports. Is Chavez stupid enough to halt oil exports to the U.S.? He'll only worsen his country's economic woes.
