Mary Anastasia O’Grady on Venezuela: When Trump Says This Will Take Time, That’s ‘Music to the Ears of the Regime’

‘That’s exactly what they’re interested in’

RUSH EXCERPT:
O'GRADY: "I am skeptical about a lot of things. That line that Trump says this will take a lot of time is obviously music to the ears of the regime. They want to buy time that’s exactly what they’re interested in. They claim the regime dictator is cooperating. But two days after it majuro was captured she elevated a guy Lopez who is the head of the secret police for most of the last decade to one is the highest levels in the military he’s also very good closely aligned was another one of the ringleaders of this really brutal regime. This guy has been accused by human rights groups of forced disappearances, arbitrary detentions print all kinds of human rights violations and now he is at the top of the military structure. It’s a little bit disconcerting to hear the president saying we are running Venezuela right now the same old guys are in charge."
