When we finally end this, Hopey and Changey Crap in 2013, I would not want to be in Iran or Venezuela. These pissants are due for a lesson in Big Stick diplomacy.
Using google earth to measure distance these missles cannot reach the US. The closest point between Venezuela and the very south tip of Florida is about 1850 km.
They could hit Puerto Rico though.
Looks like another Cuban Missle Crisis! Where is JFK now that we need him!?!?
“Shahab 3 (range 1300-1500 km)”
Metric distance from Venezuela to U.S.,? Anyone? Buehler?
Why terrorists are his friends.
Through NEGLECT, they will have nuclear weapons and the U.S. will be FORCED to deal with nutcases that also have nuclear bombs and worse. This is what Obama wants. Obama WANTS terrorists, Moslems to have standing and to be negociated with.
Iran is not Russia of 1962.
I cannot imagine this taking too long, once we decide to do something about it.
In other words, it will be constructed, manned, and staffed with the grandchildren of today’s workers.
We are so screwed.
This article doesn’t pass the sniff test.
What me worry?
They would never violate Cuban air space!
Iranian Shahab 3 (range 1300-1500 km),
The straight line distance between Miami and Caracas is approximately 1383 miles or 2226 kilometers.

I do hope the reporter has that miles kilometer thing worked out?
Well, duh?
There’s probably a lot more there than that! While we worry and fiddle about a dirty bomb crossing the border....
Chavez is probably building a nuke launch site! C’mon....
Iran and Venezuela didn’t have the “gold mine” exchange for nothing. Sometimes it is necessary to revisit old articles for recent historical perspectives.

on the elections (America has to wait till 2012 and this is not good news). I need a jolt of happiness.
Cuban Missile Crisis redux
only we are not going to react this time. We are setting ourselves up to be in a position where we “cannot endanger the homeland” by not forcing Israel to self destruct.
So when Venezuela launches a missle, will the feds classify it as an airplane?
When the Soviets slipped missiles into Cuba, even John Kennedy had the guts to force their removal. Barack Obamateur will serve Venezuela high tea and apologize for the rough seas.
The first Venezuelan missile that strikes American soil spells the end of the Chavez-hole as well as Iran. And it may mean the end of the Democratic Party.
Oooo! The Wuss-in-the-White-House gets to show he’s just like Jack and stare down the Iranians... over s’mores. Hey, maybe we can get a renegade Naval Sub captain to park off Venezuela and ‘mistakenly’ launch a few...
Maybe a COUPLE of them will reach the U.S.
After that, we'll blast Venezuela and Iran to...
...wait a minute -- I forgot who is in charge right now.
I'll start again:
Maybe a COUPLE of them will reach the U.S.
Then Obama will apologize [once again] to Venezuela & Iran and triple the amount of 'foreign aid' we send each of them. That will 'fix' the problem and stave off any additional attacks...
...at least until the next time they decide to attack...
Next step: Chavez will resell the missiles to the powerful and very wealthy Mexican drug gangs and station them inside Mexico — aimed at the US.
