Arming Venezuela

The U.S. is set to ban arms sales to Venezuela.

Which begs the question: The U.S. has been selling arms to Venezuela?!

Okay, okay, I know. The U.S. needs Venezuela's oil. Fine. But arms? Does the U.S. appreciate just what kind of a regime Hugo Chavez has set up for himself in Caracas?

And how's this for euphemism of the day: The State Department now lists Venezuela as "a country of concern".

Oh, really?
