"The threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but as I said, it is not new. It has been with us since the end of that war, and particularly in the last 4 years we know after Operation Desert Fox failed to force him to reaccept them, that he has continued to build those weapons. He has had a free hand for 4 years to reconstitute these weapons, allowing the world, during the interval, to lose the focus we had on weapons of mass destruction and the issue of proliferation." -- John Kerry, October 9, 2002

If there was somebody in the world that had more inevitability about his election future than Mrs. Clinton, it was Hugo Chavez, who, interestingly, also has the same initials as Hillary Clinton, H. C. Hugo Chavez was even more inevitable than Hillary Clinton. He had even more control of the media in Venezuela than she does here. He has even more power to kneecap opponents than she does. And yet he lost! Venezuela won! He had a reform package, quote, unquote, reform package that would have made him dictator for life. It would have eliminated term limits on him, and now he can't serve beyond 2012, theoretically. I mean, this isn't over. But, nevertheless, it seems that there could be a message here for the Drive-Bys and their template that Mrs. Clinton is inevitable. Hugo Chavez wasn't. And she isn't. They're crying in San Francisco over this, by the way. So what we have here in Venezuela, one small setback for socialism and a giant setback yet to happen here in the United States in a setback for socialism. Remember, now, Hugo Chavez had all the things going for him. He hated George Bush. He came to the UN and he called him the devil. He's cozied up to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. We're the most hated country on Earth, right? And Hugo Chavez was going to reap the benefits here. By the way, his oil price is falling today as well, but it's a little too soon to get excited about Hugo Chavez and I'll tell you why. Back in, I think 2000 or 2001, does the name Robert Mugabe ring a bell? Robert Mugabe is the dictator in Zimbabwe, and he had a package of reforms in 2000 or 2001 that was identical, I mean very close, very similar to what Chavez proposed in Venezuela, and yet he's still in power and it was two or three months after that vote when he was defeated that he decided to start seizing all of the farmland owned by white farmers in Zimbabwe and nationalize it. So, to expect Chavez to just take this and go down to defeat and not try to revitalize his, quote, unquote, reforms, is a little crazy.
