Here’s a headline that I really didn’t want to ever read: Iran Placing Medium-Range Missiles in Venezuela; Can Reach the U.S.

Iran is planning to place medium-range missiles on Venezuelan soil, based on western information sources[1], according to an article in the German daily, Die Welt, of November 25, 2010. According to the article, an agreement between the two countries was signed during the last visit o Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to Tehran on October19, 2010. The previously undisclosed contract provides for the establishment of a jointly operated military base in Venezuela, and the joint development of ground-to-ground missiles.

At a moment when NATO members found an agreement, in the recent Lisbon summit (19-20 November 2010), to develop a Missile Defence capability to protect NATO’s populations and territories in Europe against ballistic missile attacks from the East (namely, Iran), Iran’s counter-move consists in establishing a strategic base in the South American continent – in the United States’s soft underbelly.

The Mullahs of Iran have their scientists working overtime to get that first nuclear warhead developed, and if a related move a day or so ago announced that they now had the capability to make their own yellowcake, so now they don’t have to work around international sanctions for that critical ingredient.

The Stuxnet worm can’t stave them off forever on their nuclear development. I would like to see a threat map of what part of the U.S. their missiles could hit launched from Venezuela. If it’s just the south (GOP strongholds) and southern CA (La La Land) will the administration care? Maybe if D.C. is in the zone someone will wake up. Wonder if the Obama/Chavez love fest is still goin’ on?

Guess they could always call on ol’ Slick Willy to come in and run that war . . .

The people of Iran are pouring into the streets in protest of last week’s election, which has all the signs of having been stolen by current President/anti-Semitic lunatic Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Some of the protesters have been shot. News is leaking out of this tightly controlled country via Twitter!

What has been the very late reaction of our own fearful leader, President Barack Hussein Obama?

Mr. Obama said he was deeply troubled by the violence surrounding the election, but stressed it was up to the Iranian people to choose their leadership. He said he would maintain his policy of directly negotiating with Iran’s leaders on its nuclear program, irrespective of the vote.

Way to go, Barry. Give this homicidal A-hole legitimacy while the Mullahs charge the enforcers with the task to put down this protest before it becomes a new revolution. Can’t have freedom breaking out all over the place, now can we.

Especially since our own government is working overtime to abridge ours.

When even WaPo notices, that’s sayin’ something.

My message to the people of Iran?

Viva La Revolución!

Gee, if you look at the YouTube of our Prez, ol’ Barry ‘O’ bowin’ low to the Saudi king, it would make you wonder what the boys in the big White House are a drinkin’ or maybe that should be a smokin’ with statements like this one highlighted at Ben Smith’s Politico blog.

The White House is denying that the president bowed to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia at a G-20 meeting in London, a scene that drew criticism on the right and praise from some Arab outlets.

“It wasn’t a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he’s taller than King Abdullah,” said an Obama aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

No kidding — if I was a lyin’ SOS weasel I’d insist on anonymity, too.

Take a good close look and then decide for your own self.

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air asks:

Will the media finally report this, as Ben Smith did, now that the White House is trying to deny the obvious and rewrite history? Or will they continue to sit silently while Obama tinkles on their heads and calls it rain?

The MSM is so in the bag for this administration they’ll let themselves get piss-soaked and still feel clean. Oh, and speakin’ of the press. In this morning’s presser our fearful leader declined to make any comment on the continuing Somali pirate standoff. In the face of reporters wanting to know what the White House’s stand would be Obama said that he wanted to remain focused on housing. Hillary warned us about this neophyte’s potential to not be up to the 3 AM call — which he’s had two of in less than a week.

So, let’s wrap up here. In the case of a bow that can be nothing but a bow — Obama says that he didn’t bow.

Liar!

In the case of No. Korea firing a multi-stage rocket/missile over an ally’s territory and against UN sanctions — nothing but more talk, Talk, TALK!

Bullshit artist!

And with pirates holder a US flagged vessel’s captain and a US warship now on the scene — nah, don’t feel like discussin’ it.

Coward!

Wow! That’s just a bit too much hopey-changiness for me for one week.

Damn, the week’s not over yet . . .

Over at Joshuapundit it’s not put exactly that way, but the meaning is the same: Obama To Israel – Get Bent

The Obama Administration is sending a clear message that they no longer consider Israel as one of our most important allies but as an obstruction. And they couldn’t care less about making it blatantly obvious.

Seems like senior Israeli officials have come to D.C. to discuss the Iranian nuclear threat and can’t get meetings with anyone of authority in the Obama administration. At the same time, the Obama folks are pushing for $20-plus million dollars to facilitate Hamas immigration to the US. WTF???

President Obama’s foreign policy direction is crystal clear. He has accepted the leftist doctrine that the problems in the Muslim world are all the fault of the evil colonialist West, so he plans to placate them as much as necessary.That’s what’s behind his distancing himself and his administration from Israel, and from Britain, which is seen in the Arab world as a former occupier and colonial power.

In that context, the Obama Administration could care less about the implications of Iran having nuclear weapons. They don’t see that as a threat to the new policy of moving closer to the Muslim world…and the last thing they want is for those pesky Jews in Israel to upset things.

Ya know — I pushed all the Jewish friends and acquaintances that I had not to vote for this fool. He was anti-Israel from the get go but talked his way into their lil’ Lefty hearts.

Gonna regret that someday real soon — mark it!

Well, it was interesting, if not terrifying to contemplate. However, according to Information Dissemination, the Iranian ship MV Iran Deyanat that had been hijacked by Somali pirates and then spirited away after the pirates agreed to give it back has made it to its original destination: Rotterdam.

Well, the MV Iran Deyanat popped up in the news again today, this time making port in Rotterdam. Not only was the ship deemed unsuspecting of any problems, but it underwent a normal inspection without issue and according to this news report, is tied up to bouy 29 without the necessity of extra security as the ship waits to unload cargo.

Hopefully this will allow the never ending conspiracy theory surrounding the ship die. Was there anything that made this ship unusual? Hell ya! Pirates turned down a $2 million dollar ransom at one point, the ship had an unusually long official transit log, Reuters reported on dead people and other health related problems of those exposed to the ship, and official government folks in Somalia threw plenty of gas on the fire. In the end, it amounted to nothing, adding just one more legend to the piracy off the Somalian coast.

Laer at Cheat-Seeking Missiles is offering up his mea culpa with a caveat:

Plus, I wouldn’t put something as nasty as a ship-borne dirty bomb beyond the Iranians. Anyone odd enough to spiritedly deny the holocaust while aggressively calling for a new one provides plenty of evidence of being a wee tad meshuggah.

Well, we can’t get ‘em all right — but I still think there are nuggets of possibility in the ID post’s comments.
