President Hugo Chavez on Sunday threatened to cut off oil sales to the United States in an "economic war" if Exxon Mobil Corp. wins court judgments to seize billions of dollars in Venezuelan assets.
Exxon Mobil has gone after the assets of state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela SA in U.S., British and Dutch courts as it challenges the nationalization of a multibillion dollar oil project by Chavez's government.
A British court has issued an injunction "freezing" as much as $12 billion in assets.
"If you end up freezing (Venezuelan assets) and it harms us, we're going to harm you," Chavez said during his weekly radio and television program, "Hello, President." "Do you know how? We aren't going to send oil to the United States. Take note, Mr. Bush, Mr. Danger."
Chavez has repeatedly threatened to cut off oil shipments to the United States, which is Venezuela's No. 1 client, if Washington tries to oust him. Chavez's warnings on Sunday appeared to extend that threat to attempts by oil companies to challenge his government's nationalization drive through lawsuits.
"I speak to the U.S. empire, because that's the master: continue and you will see that we won't sent one drop of oil to the empire of the United States," Chavez said Sunday.
"The outlaws of Exxon Mobil will never again rob us," Chavez said, accusing the Irving, Texas-based oil company of acting in concert with Washington.
Exxon Mobil spokeswoman Margaret Ross said the company had no comment. A U.S. Embassy spokeswoman in Caracas did not return a call.
Venezuela accounted for about 12 percent of U.S. crude oil imports in November, the latest figures available from the U.S. Energy Department. The 1.23 million barrels a day from Venezuela makes that country the U.S.'s fourth-biggest oil importer behind Canada, Saudi Arabia and Mexico.
Venezuelan Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez has argued that court orders won by Exxon Mobil have "no effect" on the state oil company PDVSA and are merely "transitory measures" while Venezuela presents its case in courts in New York and London.
Exxon Mobil is also taking its claims to international arbitration, disputing the terms it was granted under Chavez's nationalization last year of four heavy oil projects in the Orinoco River basin, one of the world's richest oil deposits.
Other major oil companies including U.S.-based Chevron Corp., France's Total, Britain's BP PLC, and Norway's StatoilHydro ASA have negotiated deals with Venezuela to continue on as minority partners in the Orinoco oil project.
ConocoPhillips and Exxon Mobil, however, balked at the tougher terms and have been in compensation talks with PDVSA.

We should just take over Canada. There would be no bloodshed other than a few bloody hangnails from them rolling out the red carpet. Canadians don't need oil. Just give them more beer and they'll be happy.

I'm wondering why Canada doesn't capitalize on the wealth of natural resources present here to become a lot more powerful than it currently is. The diamond mine currently being developed in Ontario is estimated to have as much as 37B in diamonds. That is far from all of the resources in the country to boot.

If there were any fairness in the World, Bush would be tried at an international court for war-mongering, Human rights abuse at Guantanamo bay prison, disrespecting the Geneva convention, etc. The man is a coward whos sends young men to be blown to pieces in foreign battlefields, and yet he dodged the military draft during the Vietnam war amnd got his daddy to get him a cushy position at the Texas Air National Guard. Should Saddam Hussein be ousted from power and hanged for the tortures and genocides he committed? Absolutely. Was a war where thousands of innocent people died necessary to accomplish that? Absolutely not. they should have sent in the CIA to capture him, and not the entire army to annihilate the country.

Keep your eye on our freshwater resources, Matt. I figure that's what we should most be worried about in regards to the US.

A lot of sound and fury ultimately signifying nothing.
He has to rattle the saber and scream at the top of his lungs, his country is a wreck and is only going to get worse because of his nationalization of his countries oil and industry combined with his failed socialist policies.
All the riches are being funneled into his failed socialist polices and not reinvested into his countries industries. We are quite the convenient target to distract the populace.... Oh, and I dare him to cut off those oil supplies, good luck finding another buyer to plug the revenue gap since Chavez doesn't have any infrastructure built to be able to sell to China.

Exxon-Mobils PROFITS were FOUR times the GDP of Venezuela over the past year.
Greed-Pigs. If we were Venezuela and some trans-national tried to take our natural resources wed tell them to fucck off. ::)

Good rationalization there........you don't want their service, then don't hire Exxon. Don't have them invest in your country and then tell them to fuck off.

Like I said in my post before, good luck keeping up the oil production, or even increasing it. Hell, good luck with trying to explore for more and extract it. You want to tell a trans-national oil company to fuck off? Good luck sustaining anything. Of course, Chavez now holds his countries oil "in the name of the people".
Yeah, I'm sure he does.

Sure you do-especially when you are a sovereign country and its YOUR natural resource-we do it all the time.

I understand where you are coming from, but now that Exxon is gone and little money is going to be reinvested into the oil industry plus all the technical expertise that is lost when Exxon had their property confiscated, Venezuela is going to hurt from this in the long run. Their production will now begin a slow and steady decline, hence less revenue. It's the choice they, or excuse me, Chavez made.

China is already moving on it. Fuck Exxon-Mobil, greedy basatards.
