Reuters LA GUAIRA, Venezuela -- The chaos of armed conflict rattled Venezuela's run-down harbor area this week as troops and residents practiced resisting a potential invasion that President Hugo Chavez says the White House has planned.
Mock foreign aggressors in Engesa tanks trundled past wrecked houses near the Caribbean coast, only to be greeted by an ambush of "resistance" fighters unleashing a barrage of gunfire and explosions that echoed through the neighborhood. Soldiers playing rebels armed with rifles and a rocket launcher dodged between wrecked houses as the invaders carpeted the muddy ground with blank shell casings. Tanks -- some flying skull and cross bones flags -- filled the air with booming cannon fire. Ten minutes later the simulated assault was over. |

The Prime Minister's battered public image suffered another blow as it emerged that public confidence in his abilities was lagging behind allies including France's president Jacques Chirac, Germany's Angela Merkel and US President George Bush. An Ipsos MORI survey of the UK and five other major nations found that confidence in the Prime Minister was the lowest of the six leaders - and support for the Labour government was on a par with the now-ousted Berlusconi government in Italy. |
