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

Posted on 11/05/2007 9:27:48 AM PST by AuntB

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.

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

That’s absurd! The Bush Administration loves Mohammedanism, TROP, and is planning on turning over Jerusalem to Hamas. In the meantime it insists on leaving the southern border wide open and undefended. Now I ask you, does that show fear?

“You can not go to any anti-American or La Raza rally with out a contingent of supporters of Hamas and Hizbullah ( Palestine/Palestinians in general.)

And of course they come out strong at any Pro Israel rally.

Waving the Terrorist flags and shouting hate for America etc.”

Bingo!

“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.”

At least..........wide open borders.

What’s date on this “story”. This is at least a 5 year old story...

Nope. But you are right,it's an "old story", terrorists entering our country through Mexico. It's been going on for decades.

I'd say they've penetrated a tad bit deeper than the Mexican border. In fact, I'll bet they've got a cell inside Pelosi's office. Murtha, too.

They are all tied in with the Islamic program to take over the world.

We need to remember that the same as Al Qaeda, Hamas and Hizballah are Muslim Extreme Islamofachists.

It’s all part of the master plan.

Hay, you know what is funny? The FR spell check doesn't recognize the word Hizballah, but one of the alternatives is Hardball. Matthews would be so proud! LOL

You’re right WCG. I too am SURE we have sleeper cells already here. What I’m not sure about is the operational ability of these cells. Bases in mexico could give them staging areas for cross-border hit and retreat attacks of the nature Israel is facing.

AQ here and abroad has been significantly weaken. That’s why we’ve seen the ‘lone wolf’ attacks such as mall shooting, etc. Folks in the cities are the most vulnerable: few weapons, easily disruptable food and supply logistics, highly concentrated mostly liberal population which would not fight back, etc.

Country folk are a much harder nut to crack. Plentiful weapons, undisruptable food supply (wildlife), dispersed populace with a REAL LOW TOLERANCE for muzzie terrorists or ANYTHING that would threaten our families and friends.

Make so mistake WCG, the folks around here (at least my friends and family) and well prepared and would gladly take the fight to the terrorists should anything happen.

The only downside is that any folk that make it out of the cities would find little if any solace out here. In the event of a Katrina like aftermath, any roving bands of thugs would be quickly dispatched with extreme prejudice.

Sadly, it’s only a matter of time until we’re hit again. Could be tomorrow...could be 5 years from now. Sorry to sound like a broken record, but best to be prepared.

Stay safe WCG.

Ping!

Your friends are setting up sur de la frontera!

Open Borders will assure it is only a matter of time that they get in here.

You will be happy about that, now won't you, DANE ?

I am sure Chavez is sending as many Iranian terrorists this way as he can. The only way that we can stop them from harming the USA, is for Bush to publicly threaten to nuke Mecca and Medina if anything happens here.
