Chavez defends Argentina's Kirchner and gives Mexico's Fox a piece of his mind

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez Frias has come out in defense of Argentinean President Nestor Kirchner in the latter's runnin g conflict with Mexican President Vicente Fox.

Speaking on a national TV link-up, Chavez Frias says there was a nice battle at the Summit of the Americas surrounding the Free Trade for the Americas Agreement (FTAA) but Fox's attitude caused him sadness.

The Mexican President left the Summit of the Americas bleeding from the defeat inflicted, Chavez Frias states, and the Venezuelan President has promised to air on TV videos of the speeches of each President.

"It's sad to see President Fox's submission, really sad, sad that a President of a People, such as the Mexican People allows himself to become the Empire's cub."

The Mexican President has said a lot of things against Kirchner and himself, Chavez Frias quips, and they must be answered here in Caracas ... "you have caused me sadness, President Fox and Viva Mexico!"
