Government ignoring Iran Venezuela Narco Terrorism Connection

Press stories, as well as a television documentary, over the past two months have detailed the growing cooperation between South American drug traffickers and Middle Eastern terrorists, proving that the United States continues to ignore the mounting terrorist threat in its own backyard of Latin America at its own peril.
A greater portion of financing for Middle Eastern terrorist groups, including Hezbollah and Al Qaeda, is coming from Latin America, while they are also setting up training camps and recruiting centers throughout our continent, endangering American lives and interests globally. Some Latin American countries that were traditional allies for the U.S. (including Venezuela) have now forged significant political and economic alliances with regimes whose interests are at odds with those of the U.S., particularly China, Russia and Iran.
In fact Iran and Irans Lebanese asset, the Party of God, Hezbollah, have now become the main terror sponsors in the region and are increasingly funded by South American cocaine. (now it is heroin)
I'd call that a threat of sorts.
