Working for the imperalistic warmongers greatest icon, mopping floors at Walmart would be my guess.

[Treize]

Lol, people who critise Israel are riots.

So President goes to a foreign country on a tour = news needing it's own thread in the Mud pit?

In this Mudpit it does .

[Kjertesvein]

A politician travels to another country, talk politics while he shake hands in a 90 degree angle infront of the press. This thread is completly useless and nothing to discuss. Even my lamp thread is more exciting

[lordoftheT]

Heads of States visiting other countries? In my globalized world?

Am I the only one who thinks that it is extremely significant the fact that Chavez is trying to establish closer ties with a Middle Eastern rogue State?

I thought Syria isn't an official rogue state since late, and we all do anyway(Gaddafi).

But the meeting with that Algerian "president" kinda surprises me. Hes as elite as elite can get...

What do you mean?

[Thorn777]

What do you mean?

Hes running a fake democracy for decades...heavily supported by the west for bringing "stability", while all he really does is rooting out the Islamic movements in barbaric and undemocratic ways, and spreading the enormous wealth Algeria does have in the form of natural resources among a chosen few with Swiss bank-accounts, without taking any care of the country's youth and new forms of sustainable economy, hence the country's future.

Then for the few projects they have running they hire Chinese workers to construct them...

Sounds like SA situations, only that you'd have to replace Islamic with communist...

I thought precisely that this point would not be lost to anyone. Apparently courting these countries by one who thrives in backing up all sort of extreme nations is no news. Well...my apologies for that.

That's simply not true. Chavez is not backing up the U.S.

"Providing aid and assistance to the oppressed and revolutionary nations and expanding the anti-imperialism front in the world are the two crucial missions of Iran and Venezuela," Ahmadinejad said in a meeting with the visiting Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez, here in Tehran on Saturday.


Ahmadinejad stressed the necessity for exploring all the existing capacities for the further expansion of bilateral ties between Tehran and Caracas, and added, "Iran and Venezuela can pursue joint cooperation in different parts of the world through implementing their bilateral agreements."

Stressing that the two idealistic and revolutionary nations of Iran and Venezuela will stand beside each other, President Ahmadinejad reiterated, "Expansion of Tehran-Caracas relations is necessary given their common interests, friends and foes."

Chavez, for his part, reminded the two countries' cooperation in the campaign against the world arrogant powers, and added, "Tehran and Caracas should help revolutionary nations through further expansion and consolidation of their ties."

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said Iran and Venezuela’s main mission is to help revolutionary and poor countries and form a global anti-imperialist front, a view shared by his Venezuelan counterpart Hugo Chavez who arrived in Tehran on Saturday for a two-day visit.

Ahmadinejad opined that the arrogant powers can no longer influence the revolutionary nations.

He went on to say that Iran and Venezuela should utilize their full potential to expand ties and could develop cooperation in different parts of the world through implementing joint projects.

It is essential that the two countries increase their relations as they share common interests, friends, and enemies, Ahmadinejad noted.

Chavez also said that the two nations will cooperate to form an anti-imperialism front. He added Caracas and Tehran should further expand ties in order to better help revolutionary countries.

Chavez said there is no proof that Iran is building a nuclear bomb.

""There is no single proof that Iran is building a nuclear bomb,"" Chavez was quoted as saying after arriving in Tehran early Saturday.

""We are certain that Iran, as it has shown, will not back down in its effort to obtain what is a sovereign right of the people -- to have all the equipment and structures to use atomic energy for peaceful purposes,"" Chavez said

Of course he wants to make an Anti-US alliance. Syria and Iran already has a defense pack with each other and Chavez wants to join with the defence pact as well.

LOL, sounds like a logistical nightmare.

[Barry Goldwater]

So a president goes to some foreign country. Who cares?

Definitely he is a great man, sitting next to great Satan he just enjoys shoving his finger in Satan's a , and someone said arabs imperialists, till today america is the biggest icon of imperialism and america is the home and biggest supporters of war mongers. Talking of Syrians right to golan and Palestinians right to the whole land called Israel is not war mongering. If you wrongfully occupy someone's house and someone talk about ending that unlawful and immoral occupation this is not wrong. So talking against Ass-rael is not war mongering. I just love the connection and unity of Ahmadi Nejad and shavez because only the two of these know how to shove finger in Biggest Satan's a His foreign tour is definitely of big importance as he visits Syria and another muslim country, this shows that there is possibility of some united anti-america alliance of countries who are victim to great war mongering Satan. Hail Hugo Chavez.

lololol

[B5C]

LOL, sounds like a logistical nightmare.

Well it is. If America decided to attack or defend against one of those nations. Syria and Iran will pick on Iraq and Israel. Chavez will pick on Colombia again.
