The Three Amigos in Your Backyard...
...and those aint BB guns they're pointing...
DEBKAfile is reporting that there were some meetings that not all member nations of the Non-Aligned Movement were privy to this past week in Cuba. Three nation's "leaders" in particular met behind closed doors to discuss their work in "maintaining clandestine ties with underground and terrorist organizations":
Iran’s Terror-cum-Intelligence Networks Thrown across Three ContinentsDEBKAfile Exclusive Intelligence Report
September 20, 2006, 5:53 PM (GMT+02:00)
While the leaders of the Non-Aligned Movement nations were making speeches at the 14th conference of their movement in Havana in mid-September, three groups of intelligence experts were off in a well-guarded corner next door to talk about matters far from the conference’s main theme of how to develop backward economies and societies.
Iranian, Cuban and Venezuelan teams were putting their heads together on ways of translating their leaders' hostile rhetoric and slogans into effective war action against the United States.
DEBKAfile’s Exclusive intelligence and counter-terror sources disclose that the three teams were made up of intelligence officers and civilian officials on the staffs of the three rulers; their job is maintaining clandestine ties with underground and terrorist organizations.
After the NAM conference ended, the Iranian and Venezuelan teams moved their talks to Caracas where Ahmadinejad continued his talks with Chavez on Sept 17 and 18.
Interestingly, Iran’s Islamic revolutionary leaders have maintained warm ties of cooperation and mutual assistance with Castro’s Cuba since they came to power in Tehran in 1979. They admired his revolutionary zeal and consistent anti-US policies. Tehran also exploited Cuba’s economic straits to deepen its penetration of the country with a view to setting up an Iranian base in Cuba for its continental operations.
"Iranian continental operations in the region." Any guess as to what those operations would be?
How about Iranian missiles in Caracas and La Habana? To wit:
DEBKAfile’s Iranian sources report that Ahmadinejad also talked persuasively to Chavez about making a show of deploying a few Iranian-made 2,000-km range Shahab-3 missiles – first in Venezuela then in Cuba – as a menace to the United States.Chavez has not given Tehran his answer. But both he and Castro will think twice about granting this request, for fear of crossing one line too many for the Bush administration to swallow. However, Iranian ambitions to harm American know no limits.
Of course, neither of these "leaders" has the cojones to make any decision while the decrepid bearded cadaver is still breathing:
They did agree that anything decided during the Iranian and Venezuelan presidents’ Caracas talks would be put before the Cuban ruler. They also decided that their intelligence teams would meet again during the UN General Assembly session in New York later this week. After discovering this plan, Washington refused the Iranian president’s “aides” – presented as journalists - entry visas to New York on Tuesday, Sept. 19.The three-way talks have thus far yielded a solid decision for Iranian intelligence agents, some of them sabotage specialists, to be sent soon to Cuba and Venezuela. They will operate in the guise of road network and industrial development experts. Their real mission will be to conduct surveys on the practicability of using Cuba and Venezuela as bases for subversive activities against the United States and other parts of Latin America.
Perhaps now some in the Bush Administration will wake their asses up and realize that those little thorns in the side castro and chavez are more than just "a little prickly."

You have to wonder why successive US administrations choose to ignore the threat from Havana. They keep saying we're going to invade, I'd just love to let them be right this time.

These must be same Iranian aids that were forced to land in Turkey
e.g.

so they probably have been identified perhaps even their DNA collected through microsampling techniques.

I wonder if whatever packt Kruschev and Kennedy signed over Castro and Cuba becomes voided the second castro dies.....

Ventanita,
The Kennedy Khrushchev pact that has guaranteed Castro's rule these past 47 years, actually ended in 1991 when the USSR was dissolved. Why the United States STILL honors the pact is open to discussion…

Wow. Lots or grammatical errors in that article.
Also - isn't it unfortunate that our policies have led these type of people to feel they need to make these kinds of negative efforts against us?
We do not and have not ever cared about democracy or legitimacy of foreign governments (except for maybe back in the late 1700s). ...foolish reasons to hate these fellows. The fear of these characters is not a fear of the american citizenry. It is a private sector fear.
Subsidized oil for the poor? Perhaps that's something the current admin should think about. For some reason poor, white people keep voting them in though, despite the fact that they won't pay them any more and farm their jobs out to Mexicans and Chinese.
One would think we all got over the 'red scare' a long time ago. Disappointing... yet in-line with the neo-con efforts to portray an 'enemy' (in order to generate mandates based around fear and falsities) no matter what reach of the imagination is required to fulfill the role or WHO THEY MIST PROVOKE and turn into an enemy.
Apparently we're over the 'red scare' up here in Vermont where we are about ready to elect a socialist to the US senate (ha ha) who is the 'most popular' politician in the state. And, before you dismiss us Vermonters, keep in mind that if our republican governor had run and the socialist hadn't, we would've elected the republican in a comparable landslide. Imagine that, a place where the voters see through the surface of things and don't respect lying, cheating, theives - where republicans and socialists stand equal chances as long as they don't lie and rip off the people!
