So, Hugo Chavez cancelled his trip to New York to the summit on poverty, because “the starting motor on the left engine was not working properly”(1). Wow, a powerful President like Chavez can be stopped by a little starting motor, despite having an old plane that served him well for the first four years of his Presidency and multiple Citations and the like that jet around the new oligarchs of the robolucion.
See, the President had more than the U.N. meeting, he was going to meet with Wall Street types, was going to speak at the Council of the Americas and was going to inaugurate the new offices of Citgo in Houston. But this makes it such a source of rumors and stories that it is certainly fun to hear the many theories:
-(2)Chavez was mad because Bush did not invite him to lunch
-(3)The US Secret service would not allow him to go and speak at an Evangelical church in Harlem.
-(4)The OAS had refused to have accept his “surprise” visit to its Washington headquarters.
-(5)The border incident has him concerned as six more people have been killed since Friday, while the Colombia Army continues to point to the Colombian guerrilla as the killers.
As usual, we will never know the true reason. What else is new?
