Plan Balboa

Plan Balboa

Hugo Chávez, Venezuela's president, claims that the US has a planned invasion of Venezuela named Plan Balboa. This statement has been denied by the US.

Chávez made this claim on September 16th 2005, during an interview [http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/story?id=1134098] on ABC News' Nightline show. Chavez promised that he would send Ted Koppel documentation of the plan, "maps and everything". After over two months, Koppel reported:

We need to report that after many requests, over more than two months now, we have received nothing from President Chavez or any of his people. I did, however, receive a letter from the former Venezuelan Ambassador to the UN, who says he’s very familiar with Plan Balboa. It was, he says, a plan prepared not by the United States, but rather it was a war game designed by the armed forces of Spain.
