During a nice, friendly chat with Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday night, Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez expressed his support for Iran's nuclear program.
Their conversation included the topic of Iran's nuclear ambitions, which Chavez has publicly supported several times, according to the statement from [Venezuela's Communications Ministry].
Ahmadinejad thanked Chavez for endorsing Iran's right to developing nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, and said the two countries shared many "ideals and goals" which "have formed strong bonds between our two nations."
He said that independent-minded governments could, with harmony, unity and wisdom, preserve and strengthen their natural resources.
"As part of the vindication of our inalienable right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful means, we will continue to act in the framework of legality and with civilized logic," he said.
Chavez reiterated his support for Iran's civil use of nuclear power, saying he was sure that Iran would proceed with its nuclear program with wisdom and that Iran's people would succeed in the field.
He also called for the advancement of the joint projects Iran and Venezuela were planning.
It's understandable that Chavez and Ahmadinejad are buddies. They have a lot in common.
They're both maniacal nuts bent on picking a fight with the United States.
They both despise President Bush.
They both are relentless in their harassment of other nations, relying on over the top rhetoric, threats, and saber rattling.
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- President Hugo Chavez dismissed U.S. concerns over democracy in Venezuela, saying President Bush is "demolishing" his own country's democracy by spying on fellow Americans and violating the rights of immigrants in the war on terror.
Speaking a day after Bush said he was "concerned about the erosion of democracy" in Venezuela and Bolivia, Chavez also accused Bush on Tuesday of posing a threat to world peace.
"Democracy and the fundamental principles of that country, which were held up by Abraham Lincoln among others, are being demolished," said Chavez, citing a domestic spying program that many Americans have criticized as a violation of civil liberties.
"We'll have to tell the U.S. president that we are very worried because his imperialist, war-mongering government is dangerously eroding the possibility of peace and life on this planet," he added.
Here's another example of a hostile entity spitting the Democrats' talking points right back at the United States.
Every quote from Chavez in this article could just as easily be attributed to Howard Dean, Russ Feingold, Nancy Pelosi, or Teddy Kennedy.
So, we have Chavez, a wacko leader in our own hemisphere, getting cozy with certifiably insane Ahmadinejad, the man who threatens to give other nations "an historic slap" "if they commit the slightest aggression" toward Iran.
As if that's not troubling enough, Chavez is yapping about how Bush has eroded the civil liberties of Americans through his "domestic spying program."
What he says is completely indistinguishable from the Left's attacks on the Bush administration. Chavez could write for The New York Times.
There's no difference.
This illustrates just how poisoned the American political landscape has become. It shows how ugly the lib media have turned.
I find it extremely unsettling that a nutjob leader like Chavez sounds just like the Dems in the House and Senate and their mouthpieces in the media.
We're at war. There's no question that the country is engaged in a bitter struggle.
The Bush administration is fighting the War on Terror.
Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Chavez, Ahmadinejad, Dems, and Rinos are waging war against the Bush administration.
"A house divided against itself cannot stand."
--Abraham Lincoln, June 1858
