And then we have:
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, visiting Tehran for talks with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, compared Israel's attacks on Lebanon to the Holocaust.
In their talks, the two anti-U.S. leaders pledged mutual support, Iranian state television reported.
"Israel is perpetrating the same acts against the Lebanese that Hitler perpetrated against the Jews - it is killing children and hundreds of innocent civilians," Chavez said in an interview with the Arabic satellite channel, Al Jazeera, on Saturday.
Chavez' two-day visit came as Iran faces renewed international criticism for its nuclear program and as a backer of Hezbollah, engaged in fighting with Israel since they captured two Israeli soldiers July 12.
The five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council on Friday reached a deal on a resolution that would give Iran until the end of August to suspend uranium enrichment or face the threat of economic and diplomatic sanctions.
Following talks, Chavez pledged that his country would "stay by Iran at any time and under any condition," state television reported.
Ahmedinejad said he saw in Chavez a kindred spirit.
"I feel I have met a brother and trench mate after meeting Chavez," Ahmedinejad was quoted as saying by state-run television. "We think Iran and Venezuela should share all experiences of each other, stay by each other and they have to be supporters of each other."
Funny, Ahmadinejad and Chavez have no problem invoking Hitler. Then, in the same breath say that the Holocaust did not happen.

That's so eharmony. Two words... elastic loaves.
Chavez is going to get a complimentary sidewinder through his vestibule before this is over...ala Lybia.
