VENEZUELA: Chavez Will Refuse U.S. Diplomat; Resents Nation Labelled Counter-Drug Failure.
AP/ In a televised speech, President Hugo Chavez lashed out against President Obama's description of Venezuela as a failure in counter-drug efforts. In a recent memorandum, Venezuela was included with Bolivia and Myanmar as "countries that have failed demonstrably during the previous 12 months to adhere to their obligations under international counter-narcotics agreements."
Chavez also repeated that he will not accept nominee Larry Palmer (pictured) as U.S. ambassador. "We wouldn't allow him (Palmer) to enter Venezuelan territory," stated Chavez. "If they decide to throw out our ambassador, let them throw him out. That's their problem. It isn't our problem,"
