Al Qaeda eyes bio attack via Mexico border

Seeks white militias as allies

By Sara A. Carter Wednesday, June 3, 2009

U.S. counterterrorism officials have authenticated a video by an al Qaeda recruiter threatening to smuggle a biological weapon into the United States via tunnels under the Mexico border, the latest sign of the terrorist group's determination to stage another mass-casualty attack on the U.S. homeland.

The video aired earlier this year as a recruitment tool makes clear that al Qaeda is looking to exploit weaknesses in U.S. border security and also is willing to ally itself with white militia groups or other anti-government entities interested in carrying out an attack inside the United States, according to counterterrorism officials interviewed by The Washington Times.

Could this be more propaganda to support the 'domestic terrorist' theme coming from DHS courtesy of Napolitano???

That’s the plan —to say militias are the muzzie-loving threat, then tar ALL THEIR ENEMIES as militia members.

Remember Bubba’s “black churches are burning across the south”-thing?

“In the video, obtained and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, al-Nafisi also suggests that al Qaeda might want to collaborate with members of native U.S. white supremacist militias who hate the federal government.”

“Sean Smith, a spokesman for Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, said the U.S. takes such threats seriously.”

Right. We should believe that “white supremist groups” are lining up to enable mooselimb terror groups kill innocent Americans because they hate the Federal Government. Of course there are no mooselimb terrorists because they all love us now. Are we sure this Napolitano person is taking her meds? Sure sounds like she's one of Bill Clintons justice department holdovers.

...al Qaeda is....willing to ally itself with white militia groups...

Huh? They're obviously barking up the wrong tree, there. Methinks that AQ hasn't a clue what said "white militia groups" are about.

They must be using Odumbo's office of Human Resources to hire their recruiters.

As to the gist of the thread, we've known for years now that AQ wants to do this. Nothing new there.

Golden opportunity, if true, for our intelligent services to infiltrate using the “stupid white boy” cover.

The exact MEMRI video they’re citing in this article was posted MONTHS ago at FR, and everybody here attacked the sheik as an utter kook.

But because this middle eastern guy confabulated it, this has the effect of making common-sense Americans into suspects.

So first it was VFW outposts, and now it’s us, apparently...

Somehow, even if these so called white supremacist groups exists on any large scale, which I doubt, I seriously question whether they would work with muslims.

“The branch of government that brought us ATF, FBI snipers, ruby ridge and Waco!”
Not to mention airport security screeners.
I disparage not the many fine, upstanding, hard working patriots that probably account for 90% of DHS personnel. I was aiming my IRE at the Obama Morons that have infiltrated and control the DHS. It is my belief that the Obamites are working very hard and not quite so serupticiously to demonize the conservatives and anyone that speaks out against the B.S.
Much in the same way that Clintons implants ran roughshod over the “vast right wing conspirators”. Funny how there were no major FBI or ATF abuses during the Bush years though, in spite of all the talk of warrant-less wire taps and such. I never have had anyone come forward and actually offer evidence of specific abuse. Could it be it never happened? Where is the outrage from the left now that Obama has announced he is continuing the same policies?

‘Four pounds of anthrax on the Whitehouse lawn’ he says. (Be my guest.)

Hey Obama, TAKE PENICILIN NOW!
