telephoned Deputy Secretary of State Hillary and said: - The most recent of Chavez are unacceptable. It is time that we launch the plan discussed with President Obama and Otto Reich. Hillary replied: "I'll think about it and hung up. He reflected on how to handle the delicate issue of Chavez to threaten the actions agreed with Obama (See Conversation in Washington, El Nacional. 28/11/1910).
course Chavez could not be informed by any official of the Department of State, which obliged to convey the message in another way. Hillary had spoken with the director of an agency "nonexistent," discussed the matter and asked with whom and how you could send the message to the president of Venezuela. The director had advised the agent Tom McCormick, with experience in handling confidential matters. One problem was how to get an appointment to McCormick with Chavez without using official channels. Then they had to deliver a document which he knew Obama was coming but could not prove their origin. It was decided that: Obama talk to a Latin American president (confidential identity) and ask him to call Chavez received a McCormick who had a confidential envelope (Before Obama close to the president read it selected). Communication would be written on paper from the White House without a signature. The Latino president accepted because thought it would be good if the post helped stop the radicalization of Chavez. So called Chavez, called the appointment and said he could not tell where it came from the request because it was committed to the strictest confidentiality. McCormick Days after the interview was granted on Tuesday.
Tuesday, 10am. McCormick entered the office of president and gave him the document. Here are two scenarios for a possible reaction from Chavez. Scenario 1
. Chavez read the document, full of epithets to McCormick and Maduro called for summoning the U.S. Charge d'Affaires in Venezuela. When presents insults, broken relationships and ordering the immediate departure of embassy personnel. National chain, is launching against Obama toads and snakes, announces the suspension of oil shipments to the United States and the rupture of diplomatic relations. At the hearing, Washington denies knowing the document but, given the violent reaction from Chavez, decided to use classified information, Outlaw State Venezuela declared and announced other actions. Scenario 2
. Chavez receives the document, reads it, dismisses the messenger and called Fidel. This after hearing him say they believe that the document could be authentic and advised not to do anything. That in two weeks, call charge Embassy and report as calmly to the threats, saying he knows that communication is apocryphal because, if true, Obama would have sent an official emissary. As the Business Manager had no idea what was going on Chavez's comments received and sent to the State Department.
McCormick returns to the U.S., Obama called Hillary and the two held to have been able to convey the message to Chavez without formal commitment. In scenario 1 USA Chávez provoked and reacted. In Scenario 2, Chavez knows who sent the message.
In both scenarios: message received.
PD: On the scene 2 United States will see the future conduct of Chávez before taking any action. Alberto_quiros@intercon.net.ve
