Chavez Supports Ahmadinejad, Report
2006-05-23
Tehran, 23 May (AKI) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez assured his Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a phone conversation late on Monday that Venezuela will support Tehran's ambition to pursue uranium enrichment on an industrial scale. Iran's conservative Mehr news agency reported that Ahmadinejad spoke to Chavez about Iran's plans to boost cooperation with Latin American countries - mainly Cuba, Bolivia and Venezuela - to create a broad alliance against the US.
Hugo is just stupid enough to put Iranian missiles in Venezuela. His good buddy Fidel was pissed when those cowardly Russians pulled theirs out.
Iran has announced it will pursue uranium enrichment on an industrial scale - so far rejecting international calls to abandon its nuclear programme over fears that Tehran is trying to build atomic weapons.

#3  Hugo didn't even know where Iran was 2 years ago.
He'll do anything to be a chubby little pain in the ass for America.

#2  yup. While we should push back against proliferation, that alone is not a defense at this point.

Hence, antiballistic missile defense and a bunch of other technologies under development and test, like tactical high energy lasers for defense against rockets, artillery and mortar rounds.

We plan to deploy all of these ... are doing so. We've offered them to friends as well -- they can come under the shield or take their chances outside, I guess.

#1  There are also Hezbollah cells in South America, especially Brazil and Argentina. Iran could export missiles to Brazil and move them overland from there. I've heard they are heavy, but can be concealed in tankers, logging trucks, and any ship with cargo space...just the sort of things that never get noticed because they look like they belong there.
