Fw: Don't know why this is being hidden from view...FLASH!

["Don Greenlaw" <dgreenlaw@cox.net>]

Forwarded. Informative read.
I remember the Cuban Missile Crisis
well, in 1962. We sailed out of
San Diego on the APA-33,
went through the Panama Canal
and floated around south of
Jamica until late December
1962 and sailed back to San
Diego.

What is contained in this read
is entirely possible, if true. If
so, the American Public should
be so informed, just as President
Kennedy kept the American
Public informed.

Semper fi,
Don Greenlaw

FLASH TRAFFIC!

HOLY CRAP!  Is Obama so corrupt in his pursuit of reelection that he is
restricting this info from the American people?  Just imagine what would
have happened if JFK had done the same with regard to the Cuban missles?

Iran building missile base in Venezuela


by Lee DeCovnick






The American Thinker


Iran and Venezuela are feverishly building ICBM bases on the Paraguana
Peninsula, a thumbnail shaped spit of arid land around a thousand square
miles in size, 250 miles northwest of Caracas. These bases are designed to
house missiles with nuclear tipped warheads capable of reaching large
portions of the United States. From the Jerusalem Post, in May of 2011, and
noted at the time by American Thinker, we read about these stunning
developments that the Obama Administration and their socialist enablers in
the media want to bury before the 2012 election.

Iran is building intermediate-range missile launch pads on the Paraguaná
Peninsula, and engineers from a construction firm - Khatam al-Anbia - owned
by the Revolutionary Guards.  The rocket bases are to include measures to
prevent air attacks on Venezuela as well as commando and control stations.

The Iranian military involvement in the project extends to bunker, barracks
and watch tower construction. Twenty-meter deep rocket silos are planned.
The cost of the Venezuelan military project is being paid for with Iranian
oil revenue. The Iranians paid in cash for the preliminary phase of the
project, which amounted to "dozens of millions" of dollars...

... the clandestine agreement between Venezuela and Iran would mean the
Chavez government would fire rocket at Iran's enemies should the Islamic
Republic face military strikes.

Anna Mahjar-Barducci on the Stonegate Institute website wrote the following
( <http://www.stonegateinstitute.org/1714/iran-missiles-in-venezuela>
http://www.stonegateinstitute.org/1714/iran-missiles-in-venezuela) in
December of 2010. Read the entire article, it's terrific.

At a moment when NATO members found an agreement, in the recent Lisbon
summit (19-20 November 2010), to develop a Missile Defence capability to
protect NATO's populations and territories in Europe against ballistic
missile attacks from the East (namely, Iran), Iran's counter-move consists
in establishing a strategic base in the South American continent - in the
United States's soft underbelly.


The situation that is unfolding in Venezuela has some resemblance to the
Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. At that time, Cuba was acting on behalf of the
USSR; now Venezuela is acting on behalf of Iran. At present, the
geopolitical situation is very different: the world is no longer ruled by
two superpowers; new nations, often with questionable leaders and the
ambition of acquiring global status, are appearing on the international
scene. Their danger to the free world will be greater if the process of
nuclear proliferation is not stopped. Among the nations that aspire to
become world powers, Iran has certainly the best capabilities of posing a
challenge to the West.


Back in the 1962, thanks to the stern stance adopted by the then Kennedy
administration, the crisis was defused.


Nowadays, however, we do not see the same firmness from the present
administration. On the contrary, we see a lax attitude, both in language and
in deeds, that results in extending hands when our adversaries have no
intention of shaking hands with us. Iran is soon going to have a nuclear
weapon, and there are no signs that UN sanctions will in any way deter the
Ayatollah's regime from completing its nuclear program. We know that Iran
already has missiles that can carry an atomic warhead over Israel and over
the Arabian Peninsula. Now we learn that Iran is planning to build a missile
base close to the US borders. How long do we have to wait before the Obama
administration begins to understand threats?

Ms. Mahjar-Barducci, the answer to your eloquent question is simple. This
Administration will finally begin to understand the threats just a couple of
minutes after the first nuclear detonations over Miami, Atlanta, Houston and
the Naval Shipyards in Portsmouth, Virginia.... and not a second sooner.
