Reply #28: And why would Europe want it?

It's "heavy", thick oil compared to any from the Gulf region, and much pricier to bring across the Atlantic. Chavez' only real sales appeal is to countries in his own hemisphere, and his sabre-rattling dampens that considerably. And yet, he claims he's leading his nation out of poverty.

I fail to see how he accomplishes that when he's single-handedly destroying the largest market for his most valuble commodity. Count me among the DUers who is definitely NOT a Chavez fan.:eyes:
