Kenneth T. Tellis: Now the question arises, would the US be so foolhardy to launch a preemptive strike on Venezuela?

VHeadline commentarist Kenneth T. Tellis writes: In desperation last year U.S. President George W. Bush claimed that International Law did not apply to the US. But he also later added that the US did not recognize the International Boundaries of Sovereign Nations.

The attack on March 1 this year on a FARC encampment well inside Ecuador by US Special Forces was proof of what the US president meant with regard to borders of Sovereign Nations.

The summer brought some more proof of that policy, when US gun-ships stationed in Afghanistan began to attack villages well inside the border areas of Pakistan. Pakistan protested this invasion of its sovereignty to no avail, and US gun-ships continued to violate Pakistani Sovereignty without any let-up.

Whole villages inside Pakistan were completely wiped off the map.

Now the attack by US gun-ships and US Special Forces on the village of Mashahdeh, Syria seven kilometers from the Iraqi border, their target was the al-Sukkari farm, and is further proof that the Bush policy has taken effect. Because there is no doubt that this attack was planned and put into operation by the Pentagon, under the advice of US president George W. Bush.

Note well, that the attack by the Georgian forces of the US satrap Mikheil Saakasvili were using the very same tactics in their operations in South Ossetia. Now the question arises, would the US be so foolhardy to launch a preemptive strike on Venezuela?

Since these are the final days of the Bush regime, that would not be impossible, or would it?

Just consider the following: The US is in an economic bind with the recent meltdown and a plunging market, so it might just take a chance, because it has absolutely nothing to lose. But that would be a LAST HURRAH for George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and their coterie of supporters and lackeys.

Venezuela needs to be ready to deal with such a situation, because that can most likely happen at any time.

But that would also be a gamble on the part of the Bush regime, because, if and when they take a chance and lose, then the US will no longer exist as we now know it to be ... and simply be a part of history!
