Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Ahmadinejad and Chavez Vow to Strengthen Ties, Stand Together Against U.S

Quote:
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Venezuela's Hugo Chavez railed against the West on Saturday, pledging to deepen their ties and stand together against the United States and world powers the two perceive as imperialistic.
Chavez is on an 11-day tour that has taken him to Libya, Algeria, Syria and Iran. The leftist Venezuelan leader is also to visit Belarus, Russia and Spain in the trip he has described as a bid to build a "multi-polar world" and counter U.S. influence.
After landing in Tehran late Friday — his eighth visit to Iran so far — Chavez said Iran is "a true strategic ally, a staunch ally" to his country and defended Iran's right to a nuclear program.
He praised Iran for standing up to alleged attempts by "Western forces" to destabilize it after the June presidential election that brought his ally Ahmadinejad a second term in office. These attempts have failed, Chavez said, and "Iran has been strengthened."

why would it? those kind of people support each other. Obama and his buddies will continue to say they like Chavez.

eventually Israel is going to take out Iran's nuke program just like they did Iraq's. then Iran will cry and attempt to attack Israel at which point it's likely we'll have to do something. though who knows if we will due to our current government..

If IRAN attacks Israel, we won't need to do anything. Israel can take care of themselves.

while that is true i also suspect that Iran attacking Israel would set of a chain reaction in that region with Israel against most of the other nations.

or... someone's gonna lob a nuke.

LMAO...1900yrs of history shows only the last 40 and only when equiped/funded by others. Israel is like a ungrateful child, just ask the family members of the U.S.S Liberty.
