Put Him On His Heels

As if Hugo Chavez didn't represent a big enough danger, now he's forging a new alliance with Iran.
"Hugo Chavez has been clearly talking to Iran about uranium," said a senior administration official quoted by the Times. Chavez has made several trips to Iran and voiced solidarity with the country's hard-line mullahs. He has hosted Iranian officials in Caracas, endorsed Tehran's nuclear ambitions and expressed support for the insurgency in Iraq. Venezuela is also talking with Hamas about sending representatives to Venezuela to raise money for the militant group's newly elected Palestinian government as Chavez seeks to build an anti-U.S. axis that also includes Fidel Castro's Cuba, the Times reports.
We've spent so much time dealing with the Middle East that it's allowed Chavez to go virtually unchecked. We need to start doing things that put him on defense. The sooner the better.

I don't trust Chavez any further than I could throw him if I had two broken arms and a broken back.
