Unholy Alliance Alert: here is still more evidence of the totalitarian Left's affection for the mujahedin. From AP, with thanks to JE:
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - The presidents of Iran and Venezuela, leading U.S. critics, pledged Saturday to support one another in disputes with Washington, with the Iranian calling Hugo Chavez "a brother and trench mate."As Chavez arrived for a two-day visit. Iran faced renewed international criticism for its nuclear program and for backing Hezbollah guerrillas in its war with Israel.
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. Iranian state radio said Saturday the government would reject the proposed resolution.
Chavez pledged that his country would "stay by Iran at any time and under any condition."
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.
Chavez, who peppers his speeches with mentions of assassination plots and purported U.S. efforts to oust him, said he admired the Iranian president for "his wisdom and strength."
No comment required, folks. No comment required.
Two peas in a pod.
They both slitherd out from under the same rock.
I wonder if Cindy Sheehan will try inviting here pal Hugo to her new place down the street from President Bush's Ranch along with Harry Belafonte?
I read in a post the other day that this guy was visiting Iran. After being introduced to this site by a friend and reading posts and links that everyone has put up, I feel I am more informed about things that are happening. I also know that I have alot more history to catch up on. With all the wars that Israel has been in, how different is this situation? Has there been this much tension in the other wars? Things seem to escalate then fall by the way side...but to me, this situation hasn't boiled over yet, just simmering still. This visit makes me feel very uneasy. Hopefully someone can answer these questions for me. Thanks!
Sounds like a good opportunity to bomb Teheran - take out Ahmadinejad and Chavez in one fell swoop.
So when will Chavez recite the shehada? Was he invited to by Ahmadinejad, like was done for Bush and Merkel?
BIRDDOG,
If you really want the history, go throgh the archives of Jihadwatch from April till June. You will get most of it.
It is now, that I feel that thermonuclear solutions are the way to be.
One more in a list of reasons to reduce our dependency on petroleum as much as possible.
They should be BURIED in the same trench.
Along with Livingstone, Galloway and the rest of the crypto Jihadis.
Pat Robertson was right.
FYI, Chavez arrived in Iran by way of Belarus, where he toured a "tractor factory" now converted to manufacturing tanks. US and Western weakness is chum in the water to the sharks.
What would these loud mouths do IF Our military recruting offices were suddenly jamed with new recruts ready for battle ?
