Here we go again. It’s a page straight out of the 2003 playbook, but this time they aren’t even bothering with the 'WMD' charade. Sending letters to Exxon and Chevron is a critical first step by the Oversight Committee. We need to expose the backroom deals made before the first boots hit Venezuelan soil. The hypocrisy of the 'America First' crowd supporting a blatant neocolonial oil grab is staggering. It was never about democracy; it was always about the resources.
