Iranian Leader Calls Chavez a 'Trench Mate'
| That explains the trench mouth, I guess... |
 TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - The presidents of Iran and Venezuela, leading U.S. critics, pledged Saturday to support one another in disputes with Washington. Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, said he saw in the Venezuelan president a kindred spirit. "I feel I have met a brother and trench mate after meeting Chavez," the state-run Iranian television quoted Ahmedinejad.
| Is 'trench' the Farsi word for 'grave'? |
| I think he wants to share a foxhole with him. Hugo's got a purdy mouth |
Chavez said he admired the Iranian president for "his wisdom and strength." "We are with you and with Iran forever. As long as we remain united we will be able to defeat (U.S.) imperialism, but if we are divided they will push us aside," Chavez said.
| "Mahmoud, we will defend you with our blood!" |
"We do not have any limitation in cooperation," Ahmedinejad was quoted as saying. "Iran and Venezuela are next to each other and supporters of each other. Chavez is a source of a progressive and revolutionary current in South America and his stance in restricting imperialism is tangible."
| "He's still an infidel so one day he'll have to die, but in the meantime he's very useful to us." |
| "How does "Venezuelan Missile Crisis" sound, Hugo, old friend?" |
