Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) backed U.S. military intervention in Venezuela on Monday, arguing President Nicolás Maduro knows the U.S. is about to go in, resulting in a field day for American oil companies.
Salazar called Maduro the head of a terrorist organization on Fox Business the same day that the Trump administration designated Venezuelas Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist group. This puts Maduro right in the crosshairs we can take him out and extradite him, she said.
So now that he has understood that hes on that very nefarious list of the terrorist organization, that the airspace above Venezuela has been closed off, and the commercial airlines from the United States are not flying, hes understanding that were about to go in, she told Fox host David Asman.

and set out on her own. No supplies No training. No firearms.

At least she's honest about the motive.
And I agree with the other comment--strap a parachute on her and drop her ass over Caracas.
