WASHINGTON — In a diabolical plot, al Qaeda operatives may be trying to smuggle nuclear weapons into Mexico for an eventual strike against the United States, Time magazine reports.Sharif al-Masri, an Egyptian who was captured in late August near Pakistan's border with Iran and Afghanistan, told interrogators that al Qaeda plans to "smuggle nuclear materials to Mexico, then operatives would carry material into the U.S.," according to Time.

The chilling plot, although unconfirmed, has prompted U.S. officials to heighten concerns about Mexico.
Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge met with Mexican officials in that country last week to discuss border security.

Countdown to Bush/immigration flame war. T-minus 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
If it gets set off in Mexico there will a rush north by millions of people
Oh. Business as usual.
And we still have a lot of RATS running around, wanting to give them drivers licenses? Any question as to whose side they're rooting for?
This is the perfect reason to actually seal the borders while pretending that we don't want to do so. Win/win situation.
"Sorry illegals, we can no longer accept your crossing without shooting you first. Nothing personal, just NATIONAL SECURITY".
The fact that the terrorists are trying to smuggle nukes INTO Mexico is a sign that Mexico isn't being tough on terrorism. No where in that article does it say that Mexico is even the slightest bit worried.
Dust rises in the distance... a dark mass moves northward, observed by satellites it looked like a giant ameoba...
The border guards never had a chance.
The populations of San Diego and Los Angeles and San Antonio doubled in a week and El Paso tripled.
I don't care if they do say it's coming from Mexico. When I go up to the Washington/BC border, all I see along the road are the domes of Mosques. Once over the border, you see a large percentage of them in the Vancouver area are Muslims. I wouldn't concentrate on just Mexico.
SEAL BOTH BORDERS.
In other words, the percentage of Spanish-speaking inhabitants of these cities increase from 75% to 98%.
1. By commercial airline.
2. By commercial cargo plane.
3. By Private plane.
4. By ship straight into an American port.
5. By ship into territorial waters and then transferred to a coastal boat.
6. Hidden in secret compartments of trucks or cars crossing through customs.
One thing you can be assured of. As difficult as it is to acquire a nuclear weapon and smuggle it all the way to Mexico, they will not risk the 50% chance of being caught trying to carry it across the desert on foot.
oh and lets not forget the little Republic of Utopia since they will secede...
Invite those terrorists through the military shooting range near the border and we shall have live targets to destroy.
From the mexican immigrants site that claims Los Angeles as their capital:

Wait a minute... did it just occur to "them" that the holes in the Mexican border might be a security risk? Gimme a break!
The Transportation Security Administration issued an advisory on Friday that a Piper PA 25 Pawnee crop-dusting aircraft was stolen from Ejido Queretaro, near Mexicali, Mexico, on Nov. 1. "Although there is currently no indication that this has any connection to terrorist activity," the TSA said, "the theft is cause for concern.
Past information indicates that members of al-Qa'ida may have planned -- or may still be planning -- to disperse biological or chemical agents from cropdusting aircraft."
The stolen aircraft is registered in Mexico and bears the tail number XBCYP. If you see the aircraft, the TSA says you should immediately contact the TSA General Aviation Hotline at (866) 427-3287.M/b>

Well if Bush is going to let the "illegals" in to find jobs the least we can do is let them drive legally.

One can almost hear the Open Border Lobby's pucker strings tightening in unison. Could this news effect the cost of labor?
Fact? You have personal knowledge of nuke smuggling? Call a lawyer.
Mexico is a hostile nation. It's only natural that Al Qaeda would try to infiltrate the United States via Mexico along with the usual throngs of Mexican illegal aliens.
Militarize the border. That is the only solution.
Why is it "only natural" for the Southern border to be used? They prefer the Canadian border.
Because the Mexican border is far more chaotic and Arab Al Qaeda members can blend in better with the Mexican border jumpers. Was that as serious question?
Yes, considering the terrorists used the Canadian border for 9-11.

Until we shut down the borders to foreigners and make a real effort to strike at illegals, i.e. dispatch a few in plain site with extreme prejudice, and kick out the Moslem hoards, we are at-risk of this type of terror.
You know, that even the talk of this 'plot' on a large enough scale causes chaos, and isn't that what terrorism is all about...psychological terrorism.

The Newbies are on board! Monger On!
On the back of a democrat.... errr... sorry..... jackass.
No newbie, here, friend. I think cracking down on illegals, at both borders, with a shoot-on-site order would slow down the illegal immigration problem and quick.
One month. We'll call you a grizzled veteran.
<< .... Dust rises in the distance... a dark mass moves northward, observed by satellites it looked like a giant ameoba...

Yair.
But that was last month.
Don't you have any this-month news, Geron?
Ahh shucks...we all were newbies once...;)
This poster said that Saddam, facing a staggering defeat at the hands of the US led forces, would have used them had he possessed them, and the fact that he had not, was proof positive that he had no weapons of mass destruction. Furthermore, the poster argued that we knew that he didn't have them based on that same argument, and that in reality, oil was the reason why we went into Iraq.
Of course, using the poster's own logic, then the argument was made that his reasoning, taken to its inevitable conclusion, also told us that no terrorists were going to sneak any WMDs across the borders into the US, because in spite of the fact that Al Qaeda was getting its collective ass kicked all over the world, its members captured or killed, bin Laden hiding in caves, their financial asses frozen everywhere, they haven't done so.
Ergo...terrorists do not WMDs to sneak across the border to hurt us.
See how that works?
You're right. I'll hereby trust everyone's motives. ;)
Just damn....
Even the terrorists are oustsourcing now......
And of course, illegal immigrants having two heads and being bright green are easily distinguishable from just plain, ordinary folks walking around near the border.
Stop it! You love gardeners and wet nurses! I seen Osamalito at Hussongs!
I saw an article today about Berkley leftists who counter-protested some people who were protesting terrorism.
That's right, the leftists were on the side of terrorists. Outright.
No, there's no more question as to whose side they're rooting for.
Thanks for posting this, Ruth..........seems pretty relevant today.
I do my own gardening...thank you very much, and the last wet nurse I had contact with was back in 1982.
But that's a story for a different day.
Bump that. They tend to stand out a little more creeping in from the North.
If I were a terrorist that's how I'd come in. Or maybe through Canada since both borders are easy to get through. It's just common sense.
Bush to earth! Secure the borders, NOW!
Bump.
I think those not going through normal procedures, such as treading the Rio Grande, would indicate an illegal. That tendency to run from border patrol would also clearly indicate an illegal, as would a whole truckload stuffed into garbage cans.
Drop a bead on some of those coming into the US and I'm sure the swimmers would stop crossing the Rio Grande.
Shoot the first one, and the whole country will turn on you.
Then you've lost any possibility of controlling the border.
