Venezuela seeks defense missiles

CARACAS - (AP) -- Venezuela plans to obtain air defense missiles to guard strategic sites such as oil refineries and major bridges against any air strike, a top military advisor to President Hugo Chávez said Tuesday.

Chávez, a close ally of Cuban leader Fidel Castro, has repeatedly warned against a possible U.S. invasion. American officials insist they have no such plans, but Chávez insists Venezuelans must be ready just in case.

Russia's Interfax-Military News Agency reported Tuesday that between 10 and 12 Tor-M1 missile systems could be supplied to the South American country.

A disturbing piece of US intelligence was due to be laid before the US president George W. Bush’s strategy review...."

If North Korea or Iran shoots missiles at the US they risk being intercepted and they know this, they're only going to get a shot at their arch enemy the big ' Satan' once , so their attack must be coordinated, which could explain Irans military exercises in which a massive number of missiles were fired as a preliminary step in testing a mass missile attack against its enemies. Meanswhile "Cuban and Venezuelan teams were putting their heads together on ways"

to maintain 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. 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.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.
