The politics of credible threat part 3

As Boz notes in a new comment to last week's post, Hugo Chávez has backed off his threat to cut off oil exports to the United States, but rather said that such an outcome would occur if the United States attacked Venezuela. I wonder whether he will refrain from making that same threat again.

He's said that all along but I guess the silly journalists weren't paying attention.

I guess is kind of hard to cover Chavez, he says so many silly things you don't really know what he means sometimes.
