BERLIN – The Iranian government is moving forward with the construction of rocket launch bases in Venezuela, the German daily Die Welt wrote in its Friday edition.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is Teheran’s most important South American ally.

Iran is building intermediate- range missile launch pads on the Paraguaná Peninsula, and engineers from a construction firm – Khatam al-Anbia – owned by the Revolutionary Guards visited Paraguaná in February. Amir al-Hadschisadeh, the head of the Guard’s Air Force, participated in the visit, according to the report. Die Welt cited information from “Western security insiders.”

The rocket bases are to include measures to prevent air attacks on Venezuela as well as commando and control stations.

The Iranian military involvement in the project extends to bunker, barracks and watch tower construction. Twenty-meter deep rocket silos are planned. The cost of the Venezuelan military project is being paid for with Iranian oil revenue. The Iranians paid in cash for the preliminary phase of the project and, the total cost is expected to amount to “dozens of millions” of dollars, Die Welt wrote.

The Paraguaná Peninsula is on the coast of Venezuela and is roughly 120 kilometers from America’s main South American partner, Columbia.

According to Die Welt, the clandestine agreement between Venezuela and Iran would mean the Chavez government would fire rocket at Iran’s enemies should the Islamic Republic face military strikes.

This is why you don't go on adventures in Libya for the Arab League. When a real threat pops up you are stretched thin.

Venezuela is very well connected with not only Iran, but also Cuba and Russia (i.e., all the U.S.'s worst enemies)

There was a Newsweek article I posted here in 2006 about Venezuela hosting FARQ terrorist training camps on the Colombian border.
It's not at all a stretch of the imagination that some of the terrorists trained in those camps are members of Hamas or Hezbollah, or might graduate to Palestinian attacks on Israel, or even join Al Qaida.

All the more reason to secure our borders. Which Obama is clearly not committed to do.

From his indoctrinated belief of Black Liberation Theology and neo-colonialism, Obama is committed to redistribution of wealth from a United States that in his view acquired its wealth from exploiting people of color, and giving that wealth back to allegedly exploited peoples and nations, as he has done with 2 billion given to Mexico, and 2 billion given to Brazil, both for oil drilling. Even as he simultaneously bans offshore drilling for U.S. companies, while opening up these same international waters for drilling by Mexico and Brazil.

In Obama's crusade to wipe out neo-colonialism, he actually wants a diminished ability of the U.S. and European nations to exert global power, and tranfer that power and wealth to third-world nations.
