O’Donoghue --- VHeadline.com The US State Department's Valentine overtures to Venezuela have been smashed by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who is simply not having it. Rice has announced the start of an international campaign or "united front" to muster support against the Venezuelan government. After meeting Grenada’s Prime Minister Keith Mitchell in Miraflores Palace, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez Frias said Rice had been very quiet regarding Venezuela but has returned to the offensive calling on foreign ministers of Spain, Brazil and even Austria to warn them about Venezuela. According to the Venezuelan president, his hopes of putting relations on an equal footing had been raised by the Valentine Day meeting between Venezuela's ambassador in Washington, Bernardo Alvarez, and US Assistant Secretary for Western Hemispheric Affairs, Thomas Shannon, only to be dashed a couple of days later by Rice. "They're crazy,” Chávez opined. ”Maybe it's true what people are saying on the streets, that Chávez is driving them crazy. They are crazy --- they can't agree among themselves. One deduces that the Bush administration has no international policy." Chávez chided Bush for not being control up in the United States, arguing that if somebody launches a signal of conciliation on Venezuela, the hawks are set free and destroy any initiative of rapprochement.
