Chavez is playing a political card. It works only because the United States government is so unpopular everywhere in the world. The real threat is that most major US oil providers are now unstable - especially Venezuela and Nigeria. Because the George Jr administration has even undermined American credibility (few trust what the US government says anymore), then Chavez who would be completely ignored by Latin America instead gains respect by playing these political cards.
Chavez is simply another symptom of an American government that has political agendas rather than intelligence. Even Uruguay, once a close American ally, has established diplomatic relations with Castro. Chavez is only another symptom of a mental midget president and his supporters who also see enemies hiding everywhere.
