While Obama has been focusing his attention on the Republican hostage takers and bomb throwers the Iranian regime has been stockpiling Shahab 3 missiles in Venezuela that can reach the United States. Hudson New York reported, via Israel Matsav:
According to Die Welt, Venezuela has agreed to allow Iran to establish a military base manned by Iranian missile officers, soldiers of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Venezuelan missile officers. In addition, Iran has given permission for the missiles to be used in case of an emergency. In return, the agreement states that Venezuela can use these facilities for national needs radically increasing the threat to neighbors like Colombia. The German daily claims that according to the agreement, Iranian Shahab 3 (range 1300-1500 km), Scud-B (285-330 km) and Scud-C (300, 500 and 700 km) will be deployed in the proposed base. It says that Iran also pledged to help Venezuela in rocket technology expertise, including intensive training of officers
Venezuela has also become the country through which Iran intends to bypass UN sanctions. Following a new round of UN sanctions against the Islamic Republic, for example, Russia decided not to sell five battalions of S-300PMU-1 air defence systems to Iran. These weapons, along with a number of other weapons, were part of a deal, signed in 2007, worth $800 million. Now that these weapons cannot be delivered to Iran, Russia is looking for new customers; according to the Russian press agency Novosti[2], it found one: Venezuela.
Well said. It all stems from Chicago and Farrakhan and the militant new ACORN black oanthers and nutjob Soro’s.
What is most frightening is the MSM going against America in their commiecrat love.

They are simply constitutionally incapable of understanding Natural Law and the philosophy of our Constitution.
I know know this is obvious to Freepers but I thought what the heck, might as well say it again.
-——He noted Russia has agreed to lend Venezuela up to $2.2 billion for additional arms deals -——
This is what got the soviet Union in trouble and led to downfall. It would seem the lesson was not learned.
They have only one source of jobs and exports...... weapons. They make weapons, sell on credit, use the sovereign notes as collateral for loans to the weapons companies to make payroll and buy what ever is needed for production. They then do it over and over and over.
In the early 90’s I participated in a trade mission to Russia..... they were free for the first time to buy from the world. They wanted everything, especially computers, copy machines and fax machines. Alas, they had no money. They couldn’t understand why Americans would not accept payment against a note from Iraq, their banks always did.
See the Wikipedia entry on the Shahab 3 - one variant has a range of 1930 km, which is 1200 miles. So they could hit us.
This just became a Class A crisis.
Sorry for no link, but I am on my phone
Caracas to Miami 2272 km - they could just barely make it.
More likely to hit Key West.
This is what the Iranians claimed when they tested that variant. However, independent analysis of the video determined that it was no different than earlier variants, and would not have any additional range:

However, the Iranians are reportedly developing ballistic missiles with ranges up to 4,300 KM:
Cuban Missile Crisis redux
only we are not going to react this time. We are setting ourselves up to be in a position where we “cannot endanger the homeland” by not forcing Israel to self destruct.
Puerto Rico is “US.”
They shook hands on the deal. Now we are seeing what the deal entails.
I don’t think the kenyan is “asleep at the wheel.” He is steering a different course.
So when Venezuela launches a missle, will the feds classify it as an airplane?
When the Soviets slipped missiles into Cuba, even John Kennedy had the guts to force their removal. Barack Obamateur will serve Venezuela high tea and apologize for the rough seas.
The first Venezuelan missile that strikes American soil spells the end of the Chavez-hole as well as Iran. And it may mean the end of the Democratic Party.
He (Chavez) could also just be thinking about hurting Colombia.
A couple points about the Cuban Missile Crisis. The first is we underestimated the range of the missiles there.
The second, the USSR had ringed Cuba with missile armed subs capable of taking out any of our air craft carrier battle groups.
Time for a few SR 71 flights over Venezuela and locate those areas, pay the UN a cursuary visit and begin invading Venezula as soon as possible. Do not expect as much help from the OAS as we received in 1962 as most of SA is now commie. Oh, one last thing, we would probably have to get approval from China to use the Panama Canal to move any military assets from the Pacific.
Iran, Venezuela plan to build rival to Panama Canal
Excerpts:
The recent border dispute between Costa Rica and Nicaragua is a sign of an ambitious plan by Venezuela, Iran and Nicaragua to create a "Nicaragua Canal" linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans that would rival the existing Panama Canal.America's enemies are in a full court press to collapse American geopolitical reach even in its own hemisphere and we have a Quisling in the White House!...the border incident and the military pressure on Costa Rica, a country without an army, are the first step in a plan formulated by... .Chavez and Ortega, with funding and assistance from Iran, to create a substitute for the strategically and economically important Panama Canal.
Panama is a country with a distinctly pro-American orientation.... The Panamanian economy and Panamanian stability would be in real danger of collapse if another canal took away its monopoly on shipping between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Then of course when Iran has missiles with a larger range it will certainly also move them into Venezuela and the dream of our domestic anti-American Left could be within reach.
Emplacement of missiles in Venezuela would definitely threaten Colombia, an ally of the United States. South America’s geopolitical equation would be changed overnight. If this report turns out to be true, it will have an impact on the USA that Obama cannot avoid.
Being in the offshore drilling business, I would consider their ability to cripple Gulf drilling.
However, on second thought the “OBAMA SCUM” missile was launched and continues to have “INCOMING”!!!!
Colombia IS a good ally....but Obama STILL has not signed the trade agreement with Colombia. The idiot Pelosi doesn’t want this agreement because she actually believes the highly infiltrated human rights organizations. The depth of stupidity continues to fascinate....
