This time, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/article.php?id=D9CNCM580&#038;show_article=1\">he says that Americans were flying spy planes<\/a> over his military bases.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Speaking during his weekly television and radio program, Chavez said the aircraft overflew a Venezuelan military base in the western state of Zulia after taking off from neighboring Colombia. He did not elaborate, but suggested the plane was being used for espionage. <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;These are the Yankees. They are entering Venezuela,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve ordered them to be shot down,&#8221; Chavez said of the aircraft. &#8220;We cannot permit this.&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Colombia began <a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/s\/nm\/20091220\/wl_nm\/us_colombia_venezuela_1\">building forces up along the frontier<\/a> with Venezuela.
