Right, but even with a massive aerial bombardment by the US, there needs to be ground troops. Whether its US troops or not, the invasion would fail.

First, the air strikes:

You have to remember that during Vietnam, all the US Air Force generals said that their bombers would wipe out the Viet Cong, without the need for any ground forces. Of course this wasn’t the case and after 50,000+ dead amerikan troops, we still couldn’t wipe them out.

The same attitude existed before the Iraq war. US Air Force Generals said that air power was all that was needed to subdue any resistance in Iraq. They claimed that the attack in the spring of 2003 would begin with Operation Shock and Awe, and victory would be swift and total immediately following. We see how well that went.

History shows us time and time again that air power doesn't win wars, or even battles. Even in Germany in WWII the Americans and the British were to bomb the hell out of Germany and to kill a million Germans and paralyze their industrial production. Yes, the Allies' bombs killed many Germans, not a million, but war production actually increased and the bombs strengthened German morale and hatred of the enemy.

Even currently in Lebanon, Israel has the same mentality of the generals of the past, holding the belief that bombing is all that it necessary to subdue their enemy. However all it is doing is efficiently uniting all Lebanese in hating Israel, while being an effective propagandist for Hezbollah.

Next, the ground troops:

Whether it’s US or foreign troops, there is no way a successful invasion could occur. Venezuela is home of a wide variety of landscapes; you’ve got the Andes mountains in the northwest, the Guiana Highlands in the south, and northern Amazon Basin, which is very dense rainforest.

I see your point about Iraq shock n awe, but I believe troops there are not sent to 'win' but to more to 'stay' and tap into recources.

Also, in WW2 the UK and US air war was what I think helped win the war, they crippled the nazi industry so bad they broke down all logistics and production lines. Plus the US played a major role by out supplying them, the US produced so much more they could of kept fighting for a lot longer if they had to.

Also, with the bombing, in WW2 it went on for years, not weeks or months. This is where they need to understand you need to bomb them old school style, not stop after a few weeks or months. This is what I mean when I speak of aireal bombardment.

The Venezuelan military consists of anywhere from 100,000-200,000 individuals, plus as I mentioned before there are armed militias throughout that country that has been estimated over two million strong, and the people are strapped (1 in 3 Venezuelan’s own a gun, in addition, the government has been arming these militias as well).

From what your saying it seems as though these militias are highly corruptable and we all know who can bank roll who..

Much like Vietnam, Venezuela has an advanced underground tunnel system specifically designed for an invasion. This was vital for the Vietnamese and is one of the main reasons the US could not win the war.

I did not know this, I did know about the VC tunnels and if Venezuela has anything like it, I'm sure being used to it, the US would find a way to counter them, like blocking off exits and entrance for example.
