Danger - Venezuela - Iran

If this is true Chavez sold our pretty Venezuela to Iran? How long venezuelans have to deal with this criminal?

If the news in the mainstream Western press is right, Venezuela is preparing for a surprise attack against the USA. The German newspaper Die Welt reports that missiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons have been installed on the Paraguana peninsula, where the missile-infrastructure 20 meters below ground and the no-fly Venezuelan air space above them are controlled by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. While some Venezuelan military and their Cuban masters may be furious about this Venezuelan surrender of sovereignty to a foreign power - ironic in the Cuban case - the missile operation continues while being officially denied by the government.One SHAHAB missile costs the equivalent of hundreds of houses promised to the poor, who number over 10 million in the country according to government estimates and 15 million according to independent sources. As opposed to the Cuban missile crisis in 1962, when Fidel Castro invited the Soviet Union to station missiles in Cuba, Chavez may be purchasing the Iranian missiles secretly under the cover of dozens of opaque Iranian-Venezuelan deals dating from 2006 and worth up to $20 billion. Those deals have stimulated ongoing foreign investigations of uranium mining, shipments of sanctioned arms and nuclear weapons materials, terrorist training camps, cocaine and slave trafficking, and the money-laundering that pays for it all.The dots are being connected. PDVSA will be penalized for ignoring UN and US sanctions against strategic materials traded with Iran, which could complicate business in the US via CITGO, thus threatening oil sales which account for 95% of Venezuela's export earnings. Chavez's characterization of all these reports as lies concocted by his enemies rings as hollow as the insistence by Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former IMF chief, that his sexual encounter with a maid in a New York hotel was not rape but consensual. Speaking of consensual, one wonders if Chavez's military alliance with Iran is consensual - with the Venezuelan electorate. It's hard to imagine voters would willingly put the country at risk of losing everything out of solidarity with Iran.
