Yesterday, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez (pictured above) sent a battalion to the Colombian border. He’s ready to go to war it seems after Colombia went after Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) leader Raul Reyes (pictured below). Reyes and 16 other militants were killed by Colombian forces in Ecuador. Colombia sent their air force to bomb the rebel base. Afterwards, troops went in for the kill.

“Mr. Defense Minister, move me 10 battalions to the border with Colombia immediately - tank battalions,” President Chavez said on his weekly TV show Alo Presidente. The Venezuelan Air Force is also on standby.
