Iran-tied terror group Hezbollah may be colluding with drug cartels along the U.S.-Mexico border, a Republican congresswoman warned, calling on Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to establish a special task force to figure out how to "clamp down" on this "national security" threat.

The Lebanon-based group has long-standing and documented ties to South America and its drug gangs, but reports have recently surfaced that it may be expanding its influence to Mexico and the U.S. border.

Here’s a brilliant suggestion on how to shut it down.

Seal the border.

Nobody worry. Obama will invite them for lunch and apologize for the Joo and infidel problem. Everyone will then have kinky gay sex and live peacefully (Islamifully?) ever after.

Ya, sure thing. Next they'll be telling us that the drug gangs are taking over parts of Arizona. (Do I need the tag?)

Actually should be “Hezbollah - killing the Americans that Americans just won’t kill.”

Your excerpting leaves a lot to be desired. Who is the Congresswoman?

As an example:

Iran-tied terror group Hezbollah may be colluding with drug cartels along the U.S.-Mexico border, a Republican congresswoman warned, calling on Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to establish a special task force to figure out how to "clamp down" on this "national security" threat.

The Lebanon-based group has long-standing and documented ties to South America and its drug gangs, but reports have recently surfaced that it may be expanding its influence to Mexico and the U.S. border.

In her letter to Napolitano, Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C., called on Homeland Security to find out and report more on the extent of the problem. She cited several troubling developments that would point to Hezbollah creeping closer to and inside the United States, with the help of Mexican drug gangs.

"It is vital we know what is happening on our border, especially as crime and violence continue to rise there and as terrorist plots and threats are increasing inside the U.S.," she wrote.

Myrick outlined a complex set of potential threats and evidence of their existence. She said "Iranian agents and members of Hezbollah" are thought to be learning Spanish in Hugo Chavez-run Venezuela before trying to obtain false documents to enter the United States as purported Mexicans. She said Hezbollah, known for its tunnel-digging skill, could be receiving drug money from cartel operations in exchange for help forging better tunnels across the U.S. border for trafficking.

I think I've heard of this nexus, this threat, before. It's fast becoming like the administration's dismissiveness toward reports of Taliban training in parts of Africa with plans to attack American interests in the late 90’s. I hope this report is taken with more than a grain of salt.
