NY Post: FBI launches “urgent” probes of Hezbollah in U.S.

posted at 12:14 pm on May 22, 2006 by Allahpundit

Just follow Chomsky. He’ll lead you right to them.

Another dispatch from the fictitious war:

Law-enforcement and intelligence officials told The Post that about a dozen hard-core supporters of Hezbollah have been identified in recent weeks as operating in the New York area…

U.S. officials stressed there is no intelligence information pointing to an imminent attack by Hezbollah.

But officials said they have detected increased activity by Hezbollah operatives – including more heated rhetoric by its leaders and in Internet chat rooms as the U.S.-Iran diplomatic showdown heats up.

Here’s a not-at-all related story from the Post dated April 30. Ehud Olmert says Iran is closer to being months away from a nuke rather than years, and Shimon Peres is drawing explicit Holocaust analogies, but you know how the “Zionists” are with their schemes. Didn’t that yellow-badges story turn out to be false? Is anyone killing Jews in Iran? What are they so worried about, then?

Israelis have begun to test the waters of international opposition to Iran, first by requesting that Germany bar Ahmadinejad from attending the World Cup and now by filing a lawsuit alleging that he’s violated the UN’s convention on genocide. They won’t get anywhere with either, but it’ll be fun to watch the usual suspects squirm. Meanwhile, the messianic propaganda continues, although there’s news this afternoon that he’s having second thoughts about sending that letter to the Pope. Sounds like the mullahs are worried he might be getting too big for his britches. Stay tuned.

We may have to show the rest of the world how it’s done. Hezbollah wouldn’t be coming here for a tea party. As a terroristic organization, they should be investigated, arrested and prosecuted, with real punishment to follow. Under Shariah Law, a slap on the wrist means a hand is coming off. Hezbollah knows we would never do anything like that, so they act with impunity. Quick Deportation rather than allowing Hezbollah to recruit followers in our prison system would make sense.

Wonder if the FBI will tell us how the Hezbollah operatives got into the US.

Should we make Hezbollah operatives feel unwelcome will they treat us to a nationwide protest? Would they detonate themselves or would they recruit other illegals to explode for them? Sick…

Whatever happens, let’s not do anything about it until we’ve briefed the WH press corps, secured FISA warrants, and requested the UN’s permission.

If they are Hezbollah ops, why aren’t they rounded up and shot? Why not a military raid and just kill them? Is this a war on terror or not? If we were serious, we would be reading about 12 dead Arabs, not an investigation.

I wonder how many of the illegal aliens that crossed the river today are Hezbollah operatives. Chances are quite a few. It makes me very angry when I speak to the illegals as I am doing the paperwork for their Notice to disAppear. I know they will never show up for court. I also know that most of the ones that say they lost their ID and /or passport are lying. I guess it really doesn’t matter anyway. If they do not have a criminal record in the US we almost always have to let them go, into the US. We have even let admitted members of MS13 enter the US. Supposedly, all MS13 members were to be placed in detention and deported. I found out that is not true. Cross the Rio Grande, your chances are excellent that there is no room in detention, and get your “permiso” to enter the US and never appear for your deportation hearing.

Yep, and Bush knows terrorists are crossing the mexican border, and he refuses to stop them. It’s treason and he ought to dangle from the end of a rope. Who in Congress has the balls to bring up the charge. Nobody.

c’mon msplitt dont hold back, tell us how you REALLY feel…

They are probably here on “educational visas” to teach at Yale or Berkeley on how we are all Dogs, Infidels, Little Eichmanns, and that they are simply fighting because they are “repressed”.

Or they could be here to conduct “sensitivity training” at various East/West coast colleges concerning the difficulties that modern-day terrorists encounter (just before they force to “convert” at gunpoint).

hoosier_federalist on May 23, 2006 at 9:48 AM

Anybody?

Isn’t anyone interested at all in knowing what the administration knows about terrorists and the Mexican border? How many have been caught? How many have gotten in? Where they are?

Don’t we all have a right to know these things? At what cost is Bush willing to downplay or suppress all of this in order to please the open border crowd? Can we get some info through a FOI request?
