Pentagon and CIA enlist video games

Those upstart Venezuelans should just mind big daddy eh? I wonder what the pretext will be for ousting Hugo Chavez...WMD? Nah. Didn't play out too well the last time. I bet they tie him in with a drug cartel whether true or not. It doesn't have to be a good reason, just enough of a reason for the American people to swallow without choking to death.

    It's only unfair trading if it inconveniences the larger trading partner. The US and EU have quite a few barriers to importing that would be unfair trading if they weren't simply able to bully anyone into accepting their terms.
