Chavez, Ahmadinejad to work against US By NASSER KARIMI, Associated Press Writer Mon Nov 19, 6:27 PM ET The presidents of Venezuela and Iran boasted Monday that they will defeat U.S. imperialism together, saying the fall of the dollar is a prelude to the end of Washington's global dominance. Hugo Chavez's visit to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Tehran followed a failed weekend attempt by the firebrand duo to push the Organization of Petroleum Exporting States away from trading in the slumping greenback. Their proposal at an OPEC summit was overruled by other cartel members led by Saudi Arabia, a strong U.S. ally. But the cartel agreed to have OPEC finance ministers discuss the idea, and the two allies' move showed their potential for stirring up problems for the U.S. The alliance between Chavez and Ahmadinejad has blossomed with several exchanged visits — Monday's was Chavez's fourth time in Tehran in two years — a string of technical agreements and a torrent of rhetoric presenting their two countries as an example of how smaller nations can stand up to the superpower. "Here are two brother countries, united like a single fist," Chavez said upon his arrival in Tehran, according to Venezuela's state-run Bolivarian News Agency. "God willing, with the fall of the dollar, the deviant U.S. imperialism will fall as soon as possible, too," Chavez said after a two-hour closed meeting with Ahmadinejad, the Iranian state news agency IRNA reported. As the dollar weakens, oil prices have soared toward $100 a barrel. Chavez said over the weekend at the OPEC meeting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, that prices would more than double to $200 if the U.S. attacked Iran or Venezuela. "The U.S. empire is coming down," Chavez told Venezuelan TV, calling the European Union's euro a better option and saying Latin American nations were also considering a common currency. The leftist Venezuelan is a fierce critic of President Bush, and Iran's Islamic government is in a bitter standoff with Washington over Tehran's nuclear program. The U.S. accuses Iran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons, a claim Tehran denies, and Iran has been hit with two rounds of U.N. sanctions for refusing to suspend uranium enrichment. Ahmadinejad backed his "dear brother" Chavez in their joint fight with the Bush administration. "We have common viewpoints and we will stand by each other until we capture the high peaks. God is with us and victory is awaiting us," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying by IRNA. He said he and Chavez would stick together to defend their "nations and ideals to the end." During the OPEC meeting, Iran and Venezuela proposed that the cartel begins pricing its oil in a basket of currencies, rather than just the dollar, and wanted the summit to specifically express concern over the dollar's slide in its final statement. Saudi Arabia blocked those moves. Saudi Arabia's foreign minister cautioned that even talking publicly about the currency's decline could further hurt its value. Chavez repeated his warnings that attacking Iran would further increase oil prices. "It's very important that they leave us in peace, the major oil-producing countries," he said. "If it occurs to Bush to invade Iran, I'm sure the Iranians will resist, and they aren't going to allow them to take away their oil, just as we Venezuelans wouldn't allow it," he said. In Tehran, the two presidents signed four memorandums of understanding Monday to create a joint bank, a fund, an oil industry technical training program and an industrial agreement, Iranian state television said. It said Chavez then left after an official farewell ceremony. On Chavez's previous visit in July, the two leaders broke ground for construction of a jointly owned petrochemical complex in Iran, with 51 percent of it in Iranian ownership and 49 percent to be owned by Venezuela. The two nations also began construction of a second petrochemical complex in Venezuela, at a total combined cost of $1.4 billion. Chavez and Ahmadinejad believe their petrochemical partnership will help Iran win markets in Latin America and Venezuela to gain access to Asia's energy market, especially India. Since 2001, the two countries have signed more than 180 trade agreements, worth more than $20 billion in potential investment, according to official reports. Iran has partnered with Venezuela on several industrial projects in the South American nation, including the production of cars, tractors and plastic goods. |

I'll bet the thought of adding Chavez to the "axis of evil" and stealing his oil gives W*GS a little chub.

Still doing your bit as Chavez' "bottom", LABF... Amazing how you can so clearly see the predations of the Bush administration, but lose that clarity when it comes to ol' Hugo. What's your problem? Can't see to the Left?

Bzzzznt, LABF.
If I'd covered for Bush at all (we all know you've lied about that) your edit would make sense. Since I have not... Come to think of it, I've never seen you criticize Chavez in any way. Why? Even Ro knows the dude is scum. |

But if the "cabana boy" insult was "homophobic" (and thus inappropriate) then, according to your own standards, shouldn't the same thing be said re: your "bottom" remark?
Aren't you therefore breaking your own rules and/or operating outside your own value system in making such remarks? Doesn't that make you a hypocrite? (If you answered "yes" to all three then you get an "A+.") |

I'd love to see Chavez wiped off the planet but his rhetoric is just that. TALK TALK TALK. If he hates us so much then stop selling us your oil. I know many of you feel differently but I have 100 percent confidence that America ends up getting the dollar a bit higher and closing the trade deficit. All Chavez is doing is making us all see the time has come to get off oil. We should break ground on 100 new nuclear power plants ASAP. Electric cars, Hyrdrogen cars, whatever but we need to remove the money from these countries.

To Chávez's detractors the scarcity is evidence that his revolutionary "21st century socialism" is driving South America's oil power towards ruin." Last edited by yavoon; 11-21-2007 at 10:16 PM.. |
