Oh, don't worry!!!

Just selling those guns and drugs the Americans won't sell.

[MileHi]

Agents also found 26 firearm magazines,....

Uh oh...

[zeugma]

From the sound of the article, it must be budget time for ICE.

When are we going to build the fence?

[Onelifetogive]

in Laredo, Texas, have seized materials for 33 Improvised Explosive Devices, grenade components, large quantities of assault weapons, rifles, silencers, machine gun assembly kits, bulletproof vests, police scanners, narcotics and cash.

Committing the domestic terror that Americans are unwilling to commit...

[LIConFem]

But there's no reason to secure our southern border. We're just being racist and paranoid.

IEDs? What is the motivation for building these?

To Kill People.

[r9etb]

Yep, I noticed the same thing...no names.

It's from the Sierra Times. They're somewhat agenda-driven, and you'll notice from the blurb at the bottom that the article relies primarily on "sources," which could mean pretty much anybody who happens to be associated with the federal agencies. At any rate, those "sources" probably didn't include any names, and they may not even have had personal knowledge of the cases.

[Flavius Josephus]

basically drug runners

Not drug RUNNERS, but drug WARRIORS. These people are trying, successfully, to bring the equivalent Colombian Drug Wars right home to our borders. It may be narco-terror, and not islamic terror, but the disease and the cure are awfully similar. I expect if the roots ever get teased out, we will find that they each have their nasty tentacles embracing the other.

[VOYAGER]

How many more incidents will have to take place before the Washington Weasels take positive action? How much destructive materiel has already passed through our Southern border along with the terrorists who would use them?

It is almost unbellievable how the Oval Office of the President of the United States is not heading up these America saving activities.

This is in the face of all the posturing Bush is doing on a regular basis when he "bleats" incessantly about his absolute duty to protect America at all costs and then is missing in action by not leading the charge.

[Tammy8]

The drug runners on this border are terrorists. I would be surprised if they are not linked in some way to the terrorists you are thinking of.

[Tammy8]

The illegals who pick the fruit, and veggies, and the sheet-rockers are indeed linked to this. Illegal immigration and smuggling of people and drugs are completely intertwined on the border. One feeds on another; many illegals pay the coyote who smuggles them in by bringing in drugs. Illegal immigration, smuggling and Mexican military incursions are all related activities and it is a never ending increasingly violent circle.

[Idisarthur]

This all sounds like Beslan in Laredo or San Antonio. All that is missing are terrorists on drugs.

Should the two meet, prayers...
