Iran's Secret Pipeline Into The U.S.
WTOP ^ | 18 Aug 2010 | JJ Green

WASHINGTON - Iran Air 744 is a bimonthly flight that originates in Tehran and flies directly to Caracas with periodic stops in Beirut and Damascus. The maiden flight was Feb. 2, 2007.

The mere existence of the flight was a significant concern for U.S. intelligence officials, but now a broader concern is who and what are aboard the flights.

"If you [a member of the public] tried to book yourself a seat on this flight and it doesn't matter whether it's a week before, a month before, six months before -- you'll never find a place to sit there," says Offer Baruch, a former Israeli Shin Bet agent

Do we have any ideas who gives Obama direction on how to totally undermine national security and sabotage our security agencies?

I've got a great idea!
Let's build a superhighway eight lanes wide going from Mexico into the heartland of America.

Good map. The people smugglers are using the same routes, which you will note go through our good friends Venezuela and Cuba.

About 4 years ago, Mexico found VZ army troops in Mexican territory, near the Yucatan. Mexico is essentially under invasion from the south, and one thing we are not discussing when talking about the drug wars there is that there is a political subtext to them because these gangs are virtually all leftist-linked. Their primary purpose is not politics, perhaps, but for years they have gotten a break from Mexico’s radical leftist politicians and labor unions, not only because of pay-offs, but because the left knows that the drugs come from FARC and other radical groups in South America and are used for their support. But of course we wouldn’t want to talk about anything that might make Obama’s comrades, Hugo and Fidel, unhappy or anything like that.

This Iranian flight is very dangerous indeed.

As bad as Obama is on border security, if we’re honest, we have to admit that Bush and McCain were not one bit better. That’s why we still have a problem that Obama can avoid solving. We forget that prior to this disaster of an administration we had a solid four years of Republican control of the White House and congress. Think of how good life would be now if Bush and his Congress had pursued a conservative agenda with half the vigor that Obama and his Congress is pursuing a liberal/progressive/communist/islamic agenda.

This is why it is always important to vote for the most conservative candidate on the ballot...because the fastest way to empower liberalism is to vote for liberal-light.

You take out the CASTROS and CHAVEZ and all this crap stops! Anyone who doesn’t understand this is too stupid to be in any position to make security policy for US!

A very good map. And that military patch in Arabic should be transalted and spread all over the media. These bat-turds have and will continue to infiltrate and infest this country....and when they get their call, watch out. Not many here are ready, much less willing for a fight within our country. How much longer before they get the real wakeup call?

You're preaching to the choir. I was calling out Bush as a centrist long before you ever even registered to post here at FR!
That being said...you're pushing the same "Blame Game" meme that the MSM and Democrats push. Give it a rest.

Look, up on the boards! It's Captain Obvious!

I am so glad that Obama finished the border security fence that Bush refused to finish.
