Go broke with Hugo!

Hugo Chavez said Saturday that Latin America should withdraw its reserves from U.S. banks -- in favor of where?

Why, the Latin American "development bank" that Chavez founded, of course. So what's to prevent Chavez from suddenly seizing the funds, or otherwise controlling them to advance his agenda, just as he's threatened Venezuela's own banks? Absolutely nothing, and that's exactly his diabolical ploy.

Meanwhile, it looks like Nicaragua's Ortega is trying to play both sides of the field. That game won't last forever, Danny Boy.
