Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (L) is welcomed by Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez at Miraflores Palace in Caracas September 17, 2006. Ahmadinejad shored up opposition to a U.S. drive to curb Iran's nuclear program on a visit to Venezuela on Sunday that cemented an anti-American front with Chavez. (Miraflores Palace/Handout/Reuters)

Slip him the tongue, Huey.
Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, Zimbabwe, and al-Reuters. It's a marriage made in the funny pages.

That anti missile sytem could as easily take out planes, right? Why dont we test it on two or three, or heck a bunch more as they fly from Havanna to NY?

"Let's enjoy cheap gasoline while it lasts." We get 14% of our oil from Chavez which represents 80% of his output. We get 0% of our oil from Iran.
We have enough oil in the SPR to withstand a conflict with Iran (a closing of the Straits Of Hormuz) and a cut-off by Chavez.

It's not as simple as "we don't get oil from Iran". Iran and Chavez can easily cause a world-wide shortage which will increase prices including prices from places we do get oil from. Likewise Iran and Mini-Me can blockade the Straits causing further shortages. Yup we have the SPR which when dipped into must be replaced at market prices and we should know by now that wars often last longer than anticipated.

Agreed. It won't be a 'cake-walk,' but survivable.

"But Larry Birns of the Washington-based thinktank, the Council on Hemispheric Affairs, said the United States has little to fear from the countries' closer ties.
Venezuela will keep supplying crucial oil to its main market, the United States, and if it wins a rotating U.N. seat, its vote will not be key, said Birns, who is sympathetic to some of Chavez's anti-U.S. stances."
OK Larry, if you say so.........

Well, I would hope that the good people of Venezuela understand that Chavez is there to stay...He's not going away through elections.
To: blam
Perhaps it might even be "good medicine" in the long run.

If we go to war with Iran, Russia has threatened to cut off oil to the eastern EU and the US.
