Terror Alert, Miami Style
If the FBI & the M$M are so freaked out over a bunch of guys who like to work out and have wet dreams about killing people, why don't they cover stories about the real terrorists that live in Miami. Maybe because too many of them are FOBs? Friends of BushCo?

Here's a recent example of a couple of real terrorists that were busted in So FL last Nov. I'm willing to bet most people in the US haven't heard about this story?

Judge Denies Cubans Bail in Weapons Case
Officials say exiles' cache of machine guns, grenades and more was illegal.

By CURT ANDERSON
The Associated Press

FORT LAUDERDALE -- A federal judge rejected a second attempt by two Cuban exiles to win release on bail before their trial on illegal weapons and other charges, ruling Friday that they were too dangerous to be free because of the deadly military nature of the weapons.

The machine guns, grenades, grenade launcher, detonation devices and thousands of rounds of ammunition seized in the case amounted to "everything you need to carry out a bloodbath," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Randy Hummel.


"These guns are offensive weapons under the law," Hummel said.

U.S. District Judge James I. Cohn sided with prosecutors, upholding another judge's ruling denying bail for Santiago Alvarez, 64, and 63-year-old Osvaldo Mitat. They are charged in a seven-count grand jury indictment with illegal possession of machine guns and other weapons -some with serial numbers erased -- that allegedly were stored at an apartment complex near Fort Lauderdale owned by Alvarez.


Now who wants to talk about the terrorists that have lived for decades in So. FL. that BushCo protects and the M$M ignores?

1. Yep. A better case can be made against Ann Coulter than against
these bootless Sears Tower jokers.

2. Huh?
Edited on Fri Jun-23-06 04:42 PM by FLICKA
How is this BushCo protecting them? They're in jail and they were denied bail. Also, it evidently WAS in across-the-USA news--YOU got the story off the AP wire.

As much as I'd like to agree with ya, you're going to need more evidence than this.

And which landmarks did they say they were going to bring down? And which terrorist group did they say their allegience was to? The article didn't say...

3. You've never heard of Orlando Bosch?
Edited on Fri Jun-23-06 04:44 PM by DoYouEverWonder
Who is one of the worst of the worst. Who lives free in Miami and always has a front row seat whenever a Bush comes to town?

These two are in jail at the moment only because they are getting stupidier in their old age and became too obvious. I guess arranging that press conference for Luis Posada wasn't such a good idea after all?

5. Sorry, I didn't answer the 2nd part of your question
Orlando Bosch, Luis Posada, and Santiago Alverez are old veterans from back in the good ol' days, when Poppy Bush was selling them pipe dreams of getting rid of Castro. Here they are 40 years later and guess who won? Yet the old guys still haven't given up and BushCo is more then willing to help them out. Hence the stashes of C4 that they always seem to have around. Yet, some snag always happens and they manage to survive to try again another day. All these dudes are getting really old and this 'operation' was their last hurrah for getting Castro. Alverez told the judge that he didn't intend to use this cache in the US. What's the problem?
