Saddam's Replacement in the Axis of Evil

Let's put this in the form of a rhetorical question:

Hugo Chavez, Castroite dictator of Venezuela, is an arch-enemy of the United States; the "Islamic Republic" of Iran is an arch-enemy of the United States, helmed by a Hitlerian maniac whose flaming anti-semitism HC emulates, on a crash course for nuclear weapons, and has become as close an ally of Chavez as Fidel Castro.

Is there any doubt whatsoever that once the mullahs have nukes, they'll share - or, in line with their "business" relationship, sell - nuclear and ballistic missile technology to Chavez?

Can anybody still wonder why Michael Ledeen keeps cawing, "Faster, please" like a parrot with a nervous tic?
