CNN: Iran’s Ahmedinejad meets ‘brother’ Chavez

Anti-U.S. leaders Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad met in Tehran on Saturday, pledging mutual support for one another, state media reported.

Chavez’s two-day visit came as Iran faces renewed international criticism for its nuclear program and as a backer of Hezbollah guerrillas, engaged in fighting with Israel since they captured two Israeli soldiers July 12.

The five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council on Friday reached a deal on a resolution that would give Iran until the end of August to suspend uranium enrichment or face the threat of economic and diplomatic sanctions.

Following talks, Chavez pledged that his country would “stay by Iran at any time and under any condition,” state television reported.

Now, might this be a message to the Democrats in the United States Congress – allow more domestic oil drilling (e.g. ANWR) while the United States weans itself of depenence on Middle East and Venezulean oil.

Might this be a message to the American people? Conserve energy with minimal sacrifices today and empower your Congress to develop alternative fuels that remove American suscepibility to oil-based foreign policy blackmail.

Ahmedinejad said he saw in Chavez a kindred spirit.

“I feel I have met a brother and trench mate after meeting Chavez,” Ahmedinejad was quoted as saying by state-run television. “We think Iran and Venezuela should share all experiences of each other, stay by each other and they have to be supporters of each other.”

So, is Hugo Chavez becoming the new Fidel Castro of North America?

Probably.

With plenty of oil revenue, Venezuela could purchase missile and nuclear technologies from Iran.

Venezuela could also squeeze the United States by restricting oil exports to America and selling their oil to China.

“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.”

Chavez and Ahmadinejad are cooperating sources for exporting terror. Venezuela has joined the Axis of Evil.

This message is loud and clear.
