Mexican police discovered four men carting a kamikaze drone equipped with an IED and a remote detonator last week, in what analysts say is an example of cartels figuring out how to weaponizing UAVs.

The disturbing development is a manifestation of something top American security chiefs warned Congress about earlier this year, when they said they feared terrorists would begin to use drones to attack targets within the U.S.

If drug cartels start “bombing” the US we should pull every resource out of Afghanistan and invade Mexico. Of course, that will never happen since way too many politicians make money off of the illegal drug trade.

Wasn’t it Bush that told us that family values don’t stop at the Rio Grande? Well neither do weaponized unmanned areal vehicles.

The ‘drone’ shown in that picture is incapable of flight.

The Bush family is largely responsible for the 30 million illegal aliens we have in this country.

We all knew this was coming. Searching baby bags and purses at sporting events isn’t going to stop drone bombs. Police parking lots will be targeted during shift change. 8:30 am in the elementary school drop off area and holiday shopping at the mall just got dangerous. Keep you eye to the sky while standing in line at the next election.
