Ahmadinejad, Chavez pal around

They say we’re making (a) bomb. Fortunately, the majority of Latin American countries are alert. Everyone knows that those words … are a joke. It’s something to laugh at.
– Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iranian President

Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sarcastically addressed America’s growing concern over Iran’s nuclear program referring to themselves as “devils” whose love for one another would fuel their “a-bomb.”

Ahmadinejad defended his country’s nuclear program as he began a four-nation tour of Latin America, joining his ally Chávez in accusing the U.S. and its allies of using the dispute to unjustly threaten Iran.

Both leaders dismissed U.S. concerns about Iran’s intentions in the Middle East and its growing diplomatic ties with Chávez and his allies in Latin America.

“They accuse us of being warmongers,” Chávez said. “They’re the threat.”
