When Will Obama Respond To The Iranian Missiles In Venezuela?

There still doesn't seem to be a response from the Obama administration to the threat of Iranian missiles based in Venezuela:

Iran is planning to place medium-range missiles on Venezuelan soil, based on western information sources,according to an article in the German daily, Die Welt, of November 25, 2010. According to the article, an agreement between the two countries was signed during the last visit o Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to Tehran on October19, 2010. The previously undisclosed contract provides for the establishment of a jointly operated military base in Venezuela, and the joint development of ground-to-ground missiles.

At a moment when NATO members found an agreement, in the recent Lisbon summit (19-20 November 2010), to develop a Missile Defence capability to protect NATO's populations and territories in Europe against ballistic missile attacks from the East (namely, Iran), Iran's counter-move consists in establishing a strategic base in the South American continent - in the United States's soft underbelly.

This will be in addition to the Iranian paramilitary troops already in Venezuela
And also in addition to the drug ties of Iran's Hezbollah puppet to Venezuela--and Mexico.

Faced with a similar situation in 1962, Kennedy stood strong and averted a crisis.
And Obama?

Nowadays, however, we do not see the same firmness from the present administration. On the contrary, we see a lax attitude, both in language and in deeds, that results in extending hands when our adversaries have no intention of shaking hands with us. Iran is soon going to have a nuclear weapon, and there are no signs that UN sanctions will in any way deter the Ayatollah's regime from completing its nuclear program. We know that Iran already has missiles that can carry an atomic warhead over Israel and over the Arabian Peninsula. Now we learn that Iran is planning to build a missile base close to the US borders. How longer do we have to wait before the Obama administration begins to understand threats?

With all the commotion about how firm Obama is supposed to be with Israel, it turns out that the Middle Eastern country that the US should really be concerning itself with is the one that has parked itself in our backyard.
