US fears Hamas, Hizballah setting up shop in Mexico
Israel Today ^ | Nov. 5, 2007 | Staff Writer

Washington believes the Palestinian terror group Hamas and the Iranian-backed Lebanese terrorist militia Hizballah are looking to set up operations in Mexico with the aim of eventually infiltrating the United States, according to a former CIA counter-terrorism official.

Robert Grenier, who until recently was head of the CIA's counter-terrorism center, told a press conference in Mexico last Thursday that the Muslim terrorist organizations see the illegal immigration and drug trafficking networks in the Latin American nation as the most effective way to move people and equipment into the US.

Grenier said that the Bush Administration fears both Hamas and Hizballah may already have sleeper cells operating in Mexico.

Hamas and Hizballah have both threatened in the past to extend their war against Israel to include the United States.

I would be willing to say the two people of interest on the ferry, which the FBI sought in Washington state were not found. I would also be willing to say the FBI attempted to enlist the help of the mooselimb community and the mooselimb community did not offer one single tip.

Now I do not know this to be a fact, but I have heard nothing else since the FBI began looking for these two people of interest. This does not mean what I typed is true, but what should one believe.....All is well?

All is Well....is too difficult to swallow at this point, for me.

Yup. They are not interested in flying planes into buildings in Mexico. They don’t plan to drop dirty nuclear bombs in Mexico. They aren’t going to chop heads off in Mexico. They don’t want to convert Mexico to their particularly evil ideology.
Bush is to blame for this, for not tightening the borders with Mexico because of his agreement with the president of Mexico.

Bush did his job as the “New World Order” president, part 3. Daddy Bush-Bill Clinton-Bill Clinton-Baby Bush-Baby Bush-Mrs. Bill Clinton followed by another term for Mrs. Bill Clinton should just about do us in as a free country.

When do we stop yelling and just fire them all?

The last time there was no Bush or Clinton on the ticket was in 1976. ....when I was 12. And unfortunately I don't see this string coming to an end anytime soon...

There’s at least 50,000 Hezbollah already up and running within America.

So far, they’ve stuck to smuggling cigarettes, to raise money and develop their networks.

Eventually, that will change.

They come in across the border and assume the identity of legitimate visa holders, who dissapear, perhaps returning home.

Maybe we ought to move on to Syria, Palestine and Lebanon as soon as we’re done with Iraq and Iran and see if we don’t find a target rich environment of islamofascists bent on doing ill to us. Cut out the Mexican middleman.

Before we do anything about this, we first must figure out a way to get these folks US driving licenses whilst they’re still in Mexico.

So Bush and the boys are concerned that there are terrorists setting up shop in Mexico also think we should give all the illegals who are already here a free pass and continue to let them swarm across the border. Bright thinking. If they were really concerned they would seal the border, now!

Islamists setting up shop in Mexico and sneaking across the border is not exactly breaking news (except perhaps to the morons in D.C.), but this article is indeed a new one.
