“WHETZEL: Trouble to the south
Vigilance needed in Caribbean”
Howard Whetzel

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Iranian Hezbollah has set up training camps in Venezuela. It is expected that these “trainers” will then expand their operations, reported to be drug and weapons smuggling, and money laundering, to the countries Iran has established diplomatic relations with in the region.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Mr. Chavez is expanding narcotics and weapons smuggling in the region, utilizing his friends Hezbollah. We know from his actions, or inaction against drug traffickers in Venezuela, that he is not only supporting this activity but also receiving funding from them. His purchase from the Russians of weapons and weapons production rights clearly demonstrates his intentions. We need to shut this down before it becomes, as has often been stated, a “clear and present danger.” We cannot afford to allow Iran to establish a foothold in our region, lest we will surely pay a price.”
