I think that US officials percieve it as a threat because Hezbollah is setting up shop in South America and other Latin America. Another concern, is that they will have access to an atomic bomb and sneak it across the United States border with Mexico. These people are very well financed and are extremely well trained terrorists on the in the battlefields of Lebanon and Chechyna. Remember, Hezbollah is the organization responsible for the Marine Barracks bombing in 1983 that killed 200 Marines. The Saudis are in our pocket because we purchase their number one export oil and we export to them U.S. military technology. So we have a slight degree of leverage against them.
Anything that Hezbollah has done in the Middle East, it has been perfectly capable of doing right here in the U.S. for decades. Not to diminish the loss of U.S. lives in that 1983 Marine barracks bombing in Beirut, but Hezbollah — even in a post-9/11 world where security tends to be much tighter than it was 30 years ago — could wreak far more havoc and destruction by carrying out a similar bombing attack in any U.S. city on any given day. They could even do one every day for weeks at a time in different U.S. cities, and there isn’t much the U.S. could do about it without shutting the entire country down completely.
My fear is that Iran will set off an EMP as the signal that Hezbollah sleeper cells in every larger US city (but especially in Washington DC and the state capitols where the government is centered) are to begin the communist-Islamist coup here. Sometime before the election if it becomes clear that Obama is losing so badly that the dead voters and manipulated election tabulations would be too obvious.
Obama is making sure we don’t have troops here to defend the Homeland, that Iran gets a nuke (if they don’t already have a N Korean nuke in place to be launched from Venezuela), that our borders are wide open, that the majority-Muslim nations that had once been our allies against terror are now in the control of Al Qaeda and/or Salafists, and that the druglord allies of Hezbollah just across our southern border are armed with untrackable, deadly weapons.
