Monkey President, please send a few Shahabs to your tinpot Commie buddy in Venezuela, Chavez. Then the US will have all the pretext needed to wipe out this annoying little gnat.

One monkey know's another one.

The Left will be the first to be killed if the Islamists gain absolute power in the Muslim world. What a pity. The movement whose strength lay in its appeal for a more enlightened and equal world has surrendered to those who are misogynists and homophobes, institutionalizing the second class status of women and the disabled while spreading hate against Hindus, Sikhs, Jews and Christians while indulging in suicide bombings of fellow Muslims of different sects. Barbarism should never have had appeal for the Left, but it seems in its current people-starved existence, some in the Left have made allies with the devil.

Non-oil sector production is stagnant. Factories may remain open but many do not pay workers. On Oct. 2, for example, tire factory workers staged a protest in front of the Ministry of Labor seeking six months' unpaid wages. In recent weeks, wild cat strikes have occurred in Tehran, Isfahan, Qazvin and Sanandaj. Purchasing power has plummeted.To mitigate such trends, the government has imposed price controls. On June 11, the daily Resalat reported that the paramilitary Basij, a subdivision of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, would enforce low prices. Over subsequent days, the Iranian press featured photos of Basij beating merchants whose prices were too high. More about the economic situation of Iran : http://xrl.us/oudaw

I enjoyed the article. You are right when you say that the U.S. is not paying attention to its own back yard.I think that if the Demo.'s get into office it will continue.

Then go kick some ass!

Jews are a;\lways acussing other of being a threat and hideen behing the holocast. The world has seen the real threat! today, the bankers and gansters of wall street are the real threat, most of them happen to be JEWS! Lehman Brothers shipped 400 billions to Isreali banks months before the crisis, Ben Shalom Berbanke and company are JEWS, the bush admin is popolated with JEWS and tAIPACis the biggest threat!

Yes, we the Jews rule the world with our magic puppet strings and we keep everyone else out of the financial system and we secretly funnel money to Israel through highly sophisticated financial smoke screens. We are so smart, conniving and shrewd that you really have no chance of defeating us. We are all geniuses and so we will rule the rest of the world - all 14 million of us against the billions of non-Jews. Better to face it already and stop complaining or you may find your bank account has been emptied. After all, since we secretly rule the world how hard would it be for us to find out who you really are?

Magia lhem. Bush and Condoleza meddled in Israel and now they are getting a taste of their own medicine

Is it so offensive to Western ears when smaller, developing nations choose to be free from the yoke of America? Sure, America cares about democratic and human rights, but only for its citizens! Its track record throughout the 20th century shows it prefers brutal, autocratic and oppressive regimes to reign in areas of "vital interest". The people of these areas have grown tired of the murdering tyrannical regimes that America props up and have begun a revolution for themselves. The West cannot seem to bear Third World people asking for their rights the same way the "white" West does. The attitudes of Western governments and commentators aginst such alliances seem to positively smack of imperialist, and in some cases racist, intolerance!

The events described are buttressed by Russia's entry into South America via Venezuela and other activities and by Russia's strategic alliance with Iran dating from Brezhnev's time to Gorbachev and Yeltsin and now Putin. Primakov years ago called for using Islamic fronts to engender "liberation." The Russian factor (and Communist Chinese influence) must be integrated into the assessment of Chavez and Iran's activities if there is going to be any way to turn the tide regionally and globally. See my warnings about these events in the December 2000 issue of Midstream magazine: Russia, Venezuela and the Palestinian Authority.

And still headed lower. $50-60/bbl expected by the end of the year. Chavez won't be able to afford food let alone Soviet jets and Iranian missiles. With any luck he and his entire cadre will be lynched from lightpoles by this time next year.

1, you are correct and us jews control everthing and syphon off all the cash or 2, you are a paranoid loser who needs to blame " The Jews" because you did not make it . If all of us were so damn calculating and smart ,I would not be sitting here piss poor ,so I suggest you stop being a Redneck and try to make a success of your Life by taking responsibility and not blaming others ,inconvenient though it may be.

The only "meddling" the USA has done, my dear Leah is supporting Israel. So to support your argument I would say "yes we are getting a taste of our own medicine and it is bitter indeed".

If South America wants an ally like Iran, I say let them. North America is much better off not investing in such a corrupt, eternally impoverished and racist region. People like Hugo Chavez are amusing clowns, but they usually wind up in the history books as "another Lat Am figure that did little to raise their nation". At least the Bolivian Prez is trying to help his people and not just rob them....but then again he is indigenous and not another mutt or upper class cit.

Number 9.. very funny what you wrote.. I guess we didnt realize such dumb blind people live in Canada.. I guess Anti-semitism has no boundaries.

If Obama will, Iran will invite US and Obama is already eager to listen, this will lead to destruction of Israel. Iran plans to attack Israel with help of Syria and Hezbollah. Hezbollah will target Israel with massive bombardment with new missiles supplied by Russia through Syria. Israel will not be able to prevent rocket attacks and US will not be able to save Israel. Israelis will have no option but to pack their bags and move to Alaska as Iranian President Ahmadinejad has predicted in 2005 and 2008. He is waiting wipe Israel off the map. Egypt and Saudis are secretly aiding Iran do this dirty work. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has already said he has a BIG surpise for Israel in the next war. He is confident that the coming war in 2009 will doom Israel forever. He has predicted final victory over Israel. Iran is wating for Obama to walk into White House to launch a massive all out preemptive strike on Tel Aviv. Hezbollah guerillas are said to be already inside West Bank and Gaza. Expert think that Israeli military has lost its power and is no match against determined and confident warriors of Hamas and Hezbollah. "006 war proved to the Arabs that Israel can easily be destroyed. European military observors saw Hezbollah stand up to once invinsible Israeli army. Israel retreated without achieving any of its set objectives. This booted Hezbollah confidence to highest levels. They are now itching for a fight with the the Israeli army. Obama victory will be victory for Iran and Hezbollah. It will be final defeat for Israeli state.

I just hope many people will listen to your words and understand the danger that not only Venezuela, but the world at large is facing because of the venezuelan regime.
