Only more than a 100 000 dead civilians as "collateral damage". Well worth it to safeguard one of the US' oil supply. Thanks to all the heroes that participated in this!

Now it's not because Venezuela has one of the biggest reserve of oil in the world that the US has its eyes on it. No, no! It's because of.. erhm... looks through notes... drug traffickers!
