Cold War redux Che, Hugo and Obama,,hmm

Presumptuous Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama wasn’t the only disciple of Che Guevara touring Europe last week. While Obama spoke to the adulating proletariat of Berlin, Venezuelan President Huge Chavez was in Moscow asking to buy $1 billion worth of diesel submarines, mobile missile launchers and tanks. He also told Russian leaders that he plans to spend $30 billion on weaponry in the coming years.

Not to be outdone, Chavez’s closest ally, the Republik of Cuba, offered refueling stations for Russian bombers. Cuban dictator Fidel Castro even went so far as to write a missive declaring that he owed the U.S. no explanation for breaking the 1962 treaty to keep Russian arms out of Cuba. The island penitentiary has also invited Russia to reopen the Lourdes signals intelligence facility near Havana, which being just 90 miles off the coast of Florida is “a unique place to gather intelligence on the U.S” according to one Russian official.

In short, a second Cold War is brewing in America’s back yard, and the United States will need the support of South American allies like Colombia. Unfortunately, Leftist politicians like Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi have more in common with socialist thug Hugo Chavez than with capitalist Colombian President Alvaro Uribe. As a result, the Democrat-controlled Congress has spurned Colombia’s attempts to reach a free trade agreement with the United States, despite the positive impact of such a deal on the security of both nations. Perhaps sensing that the U.S. does not realize the gravity of the situation in South America, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has vowed to enhance trade ties between Colombia and his country “so we aren’t left dependent on a single partner.”

QUOTE from Che Guevara
The U.S. is the great enemy of mankind!" raved Ernesto "Che" in 1961
"Against those hyenas there is no option but extermination. We will bring the war to the imperialist enemies' very home, to his places of work and recreation. The imperialist enemy must feel like a hunted animal wherever he moves. Thus we'll destroy him! We must keep our hatred against them [the U.S.] alive and fan it to paroxysms
