Israel Sells Mexico Nuclear Capable Missile Launchers

http://www.rense.com/general48/missle.htm

The Mexican Navy announced yesterday that it has bought from Israel two fully operational Aliya class speed boats capable of launching 5 Gabriel missile each. Naval Captain Arturo Flores Gil told the Mexico City "La Jornada" newspaper that Mexico had paid Israel 60 million dollars for the two naval missile launchers and 10 missiles.

Each missile is capable of being outfitted with nuclear warheads.

Why would Mexico spend such large sums of money for weapons at a time when countless of Mexicans have no tortillas nor frijoles to eat and are being force to migrate to the USA? Captain Arturo Flores Gil said that the highly sophisticated weapons are needed to protect the 360 PEMEX oil rigs in the waters off Campeche. The Campeche oil fields are the richest in Mexico that produces 83% of the nation's oil.

When La Jornada asked Captain Arturo Flores Gil whether the weapons purchase meant that Mexico is collaborating with the Israeli Defense Forces, he answered, "It was a purchase based strictly on commercial considerations." President Vicente Fox Quesada of the Partido Accion Nacional (PAN) has been increasingly criticized for the disproportionate number of Jews in his administration and for taking large sums of money from Jewish groups in the USA during his campaign.

Maybe difficult. Each leader wants his own kingdom. Don't they know that?

Good God, can't let that happen. Keep them Jews down. Is it just me or is the rest of the article just an excuse to stick that ridiculous sentence in?

Why are you linking to these rense.com clowns?

Mexico needed two small missile boats for its navy. They decided to buy from the Israelis, just as the Israelis buy some of their boats from their historic ally, Germany. If Mexico had nuclear missiles, sure they could fire them from their missile boats. Just as if Mexico had nuclear bombs, they could drop them from their American F-5 fighter bombers. But they don't have nuclear weapons, so the point is moot, and the article is anti-Semitic.

8. actually I disregarded the Jew part and was zoned in on


the need for Mexico and other countries to protect any oil fields they have against the US and anyone else who wants their oil. As there becomes less and less oil the protection of this oil will become extreme.
