So, having crashed the bus, Maduro can't really call on the breakdown crew or the insurance company to clean up the mess he created all by himself.

The Alvarez Herrera appointees and other diplomatic staff in Houston must take a hike with their families and attendant baggage by Sunday...

Meanwhile, Alvarez Herrera's bag-man replacement in Washington, Angelo Rivero, is left sucking his thumb not knowing what to do with the US State Department and the last remaining professional Venezuelan diplomat on US soil, Jorge Valero (deputy Foreign Minister for North American Affairs) is left whistling to the wind without information, much less the authority to overrule what we can only describe as the idiots remaining at the embassy in DC.

Is it simply that the Venezuelan government wants to create a conflict with Washington as a cherry on the cake to middle-finger the departing Bush administration ... are the Clampetts at MRE even capable to inventing such a strategy even in their own evil minds? Don't think so!

Whichever way ... the story hasn't yet broken in the Venezuelan media and it is quite possible that Chavez Frias and henchman MAduro are trying to keep the can of worms under wraps until after the November 23 local and regional elections. Serious questions are also being raised as to just what role CITGO (which is a veritable beehive of controversy all on its own) is playing in this developing drama?
