You can now blame everything on Iraq...

Hugo Chavez, President of Venezeula, blames the Egyptian bombings on the US!

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has criticised the American military occupation of Iraq as a threat to world peace and said US actions appear to be setting off more terrorist attacks, including the latest bombings in Egypt.

Chavez condemned the attacks that killed at least 88 people early Saturday in Egypt.

"There is nothing that can justify abominable acts like these," he said.

"It must be asked if these acts would be occurring if the US government hadn't invaded Iraq. I think not."
