UPDATE 0635 GMT: Ohmygod, this must be totally true because the editorial page of The Washington Post just said so . How do they know? Well, because of thorough investigative reporting which ventured as far as down the street: "The opening of Venezuela's banks to the Iranians guarantees the continued development of nuclear technology and long-range missiles," Mr. Morgenthau said in a briefing this week in Washington at the Brookings Institution. "The mysterious manufacturing plants, controlled by Iran deep in the interior of Venezuela, give even greater concern."
So says Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau in The Wall Street Journal:
With the groundwork laid years ago, we are entering a period where the fruits of the Iran-Venezuela bond will begin to ripen.
That means two of the world's most dangerous regimes, the self-described "axis of unity," will be acting together in our backyard on the development of nuclear and missile technology. And it seems that terrorist groups have found the perfect operating ground for training and planning, and financing their activities through narco-trafficking.
The Iranian nuclear and long-range missile threats, and creeping Iranian influence in the Western Hemisphere, cannot be overlooked.
Now this statement has angered some old Lefties, like a Mr Robert Dreyfuss of the scandal rag The Nation, who is pictured at right because he looks a bit like a Communist:
Picky, picky Mr Dreyfuss. Because we know that it is a trait of devious Marxist-Islamofascist-terrorist-New Axis of Evil bad people to put words like "evidence" and "proof" as obstacles before assertions which are undoubtedly true because we say so.
We have no doubt, therefore, that the jurisdiction of the District Attorney now encompasses not only part of New York City but also Iranian nuclear facilities and that he has obtained the authority to conduct extensive investigations in Caracas. We are not distracted by the inconvenience that the District Attorney has never presented a single document in court to establish an Iranian-Venezuelan connection, because this is, as Morgenthau say, "information developed by my office" and no doubt kept in a super-secret sugar jar underneath the office coffeepot.
And we dismiss any flimsy Leftie challenges that the District Attorney seems to be investigating a Persian Gulf country with no nuclear bomb, linked to a Latin American country with no nuclear bomb, rather than a Middle East country with at least 150 nuclear bombs receiving billions in military aid from a North American country with loads and loads of nuclear bombs/planes/ships/submarines/missiles.
Because Evil is as Good says. Deal with that, you lover of Mr Chavez Ahmadinejad Marx Stalin Hitler Michael Moore.

Thank you so much for this fine analysis . In a world where independent , unbiased and conscious oriented journalists are among endangered species ; You honor journalism .
I forgot to mention,
I fumed for about an hour today after reading about this. THANK YOU for speaking my mind and making me realize that I'm not crazy.
When I saw the title "The Emerging Axis of Iran and Venezuela", I had to check the calendar. Is it still 2002? Were the last 7 years just a dream? Morgenthau refers to "my office", suggesting that Manhattan tax dollars are covering not only his own, but his staff's time on this issue. Good to know that NYC has no pressing crime problems to distract his efforts.
Interesting that on the same day, WSJ featured a 2nd op-ed http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203440104574400581157986024.html" rel="nofollow">in which Sarah Palin once again raises the specter of health care "—dare I say it—" death panels, based on the premise that repeating a lie after the statement was proven false will convince people that it's true. WSJ op-eds: where would we be without them?
Scott-- great choice of photos at the top.
Scott, love the blaring sarcasm in this post.
Bijan,
Sarcasm? There is no sarcasm in the War on Terror. Your card has been marked.
S.
Scott,
Upon returning home, I reread your analysis & realized I missed your point that they "will be acting together in our backyard". Now I understand how this threat falls under the jurisdiction (backyard) of the Manhattan District Attorney. Who needs facts in the face of such overwhelming innuendo? The axis would be complete if Chavez goes to North Korea. Oh nooes! Maybe he already did when I wasn't looking!
I still like the juxtaposition of the hug with the nuclear bomb
