Will Obama invite them to have a beer ?

(CNN) -- Iran and Venezuela plan to stand up against "imperialist" foes by strengthening bilateral cooperation on a range of issues, including nuclear power, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Saturday.

Chavez reiterated the goal: "Tehran and Caracas should help revolutionary nations through further expansion and consolidation of their ties."

.....I wonder if Obama will serve flat bread and Hummus....?

This one is problematic. Nuclear proliferation has been a non issue in South America. This partnership will bring trouble. Both being oil producers really adds something to the mix.

I am sure that osama would buy the beer, If he didn't then a couple of his commie loving Czars would pick up the tab., Like Mark Loyd.

I don't like it, and neither do Venezuela's neighbors. Unfortunately, we will probably end up devoting more resources to monitor both countries, but there's little escaping it. Remember that Chavez cozied up to Puton and Medvedev too. He's trying to create what I call the "Caracas Pact". It's fairly harmless at he moment, but troublemakers find the time to act sooner or later.
