Chavez says US ‘weapon’ caused Haiti quake

~







Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez Wednesday accused the United States of causing the destruction in Haiti by testing a ‘tectonic weapon’ to induce the catastrophic earthquake that hit the country last week.

President Chavez said the US was “playing God” by testing devices capable of creating eco-type catastrophes, the Spanish newspaper ABC quoted him as saying.

A 7.0-magnitude quake rattled the desperately poor country on January 12, killing an estimated 100,000 to 200,000 people.

This sounds more plausible than Pat Robertson’s contention that the Devil did it.

Of course, maybe Pat Robertson used a parable, like Jesus did, and maybe the “devil” is not only George W. Bush (as Hugo contends) but the US of A!

After all, Pat has friends in the highest places of our government.
