Hezbolloh in the U.S.? Do you believe it?
Edited on Thu Jul-27-06 09:50 AM by Philosoraptor
Since the new war broke out, several crackpot pundits and pols have suggested with wide eyes that the Hez is amongst us as we sleep in our little beds at night.

Do you believe this? I ain't saying it ain't possible, I just see it as more fear fear fear from the right.

1. I'd agree
I think there's a good chance that we have some - but even if we did I think it far more likely that they are holing up here, not planning attacks on us.

2. The Tee Vee Guys were all spouting that they are involved in cigarette
smuggling, so I assume they are psy-oping us for another attack on something that will justify a tobacco smuggler clampdown.

6. Anderson Cooper
said that. I was so disappointed in him. He was asking the Beirut correspondent if Hizbollah could try to launch a terror attack against Americans in the US. The correspondent's eyes widened & he shook his head slightly at such a stupid suggestion - then explained that Israel is Hizbollah's target.

10. Sure it's possible there's a few here in the States. What does
that mean though? Panic?

Hell there are so many who hate and distrust this country now, especially after the Israeli attacks on Lebanon it would be a miracle if we didn't. The attacks on the Lebanese people plainly demonstrates that not only will the bush** cabal indiscrimately kill innocent people if they are in their way, we will also support Israel when they feel the need to committ war crimes like the bush** cabal does.

11. Yes, along with Hamas & lots of other questionable groups..
they have engaged in fundraising and other activities.

<snip>

NRO: You say that Hezbollah is here. I’m devil’s advocate: If they’re so embedded, why haven’t they done anything big?

Newman: Hezbollah has been operating inside the United States. Since the 1980s, the FBI has deported hundreds of members and had dozens of cases. Mostly, in these years, the Hezbollah cells were busted for criminal activity such as insurance fraud, credit-card fraud, counterfeiting clothes such as Levi jeans, phony marriages which they arranged to get green cards, and cigarette smuggling. Though these are sort of under-the-radar crimes, they raised millions of dollars which were sent to Hezbollah coffers in Beirut and in some cases used to buy highly sophisticated "dual-use" equipment in Canada such as very sophisticated computers, cell phones hooked up electronically to be capable of remotely controlled explosions, and intelligence drones.

They have not hit us here but the FBI and CIA thinks if we push them to the wall, cut off their ability to raise funds, get tough with them in Lebanon, they easily could hit us here.

Remember, they are very tough and sophisticated. Their soldiers don't do solo operations. Think of them as a pistol aimed at our head, which can be shot at will.

12. I think Mr. Roosevelt said it best 73 years ago
The only thing America has to fear is....Fear itself.

The *Regime has played the fear card since its inception, and it is a tactic that has worked time and time again throughout history.

We MUST get a national leader who can wake the scared people out of this nightmare, and make them see that it is through the rising above that fear and dealing with whatever real problems there are in the world, will bring us through as a country.

America has proven that it is a resilient and resourceful country repeatedly. A true "UNITER" can do wonders at this time.

The * Regime has shown itself to be the epitome of the BIG BROTHER model of governance, where WAR IS PEACE and UNITY is DIVISIVENESS. This coming election is a starting point, and (God Help Us) will be just the beginning salvo of the battle to take back our country and our honor.
