Fantasy replaces reality in Obama's green economy

The U.S. has been concerned about about the presence of terrorists - as well as Iranian influence - in Paraguay, according to a cable from the WikiLeaks document dump.

The top U.S. general in Latin America and the Caribbean said Thursday that he is closely monitoring the activities of Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas in the region.
"From an Iranian standpoint, they are increasing their presence in the number of embassies that they have within the region," Gen. Fraser said in July. "They've gone from seven. I think they'll open their twelfth embassy this year. My concern there is just their traditional support to Hamas and Hezbollah and whether or not that then has an impact in Latin America and the Caribbean."

"Transnational terrorists - Hezbollah, Hamas - have organizations resident in the region," Gen. Fraser said. "I stay focused on it just because I'm paid to be skeptical. What we see right now is support - financial support - to parent organizations in the Middle East."
