Over the top??

This ad running in Iowa is called "over the top" for suggesting than Islamists can
get through our southern border from Mexico and try to kill all of us.
Maybe reality is "over the top". You have heard the expression "stranger than fiction"
View the ad then read the news....err...reality...if you can handle it!



Islamic terrorists target Army base -- in Arizona

Fort Huachuca, the nation's largest intelligence-training center, changed security measures in May after being warned that Islamist terrorists, with the aid of Mexican drug cartels, were planning an attack on the facility.

Fort officials changed security measures after sources warned that possibly 60 Afghan and Iraqi terrorists were to be smuggled into the U.S. through underground tunnels with high-powered weapons to attack the Arizona Army base, according to multiple confidential law enforcement documents obtained by The Washington Times.

"A portion of the operatives were in the United States, with the remainder not yet in the United States," according to one of the documents, an FBI advisory that was distributed to the Defense Intelligence Agency, the CIA, Customs and Border Protection and the Justice Department, among several other law enforcement agencies throughout the nation. "The Afghanis and Iraqis shaved their beards so as not to appear to be Middle Easterners."

According to the FBI advisory, each Middle Easterner paid Mexican drug lords $20,000 "or the equivalent in weapons" for the cartel's assistance in smuggling them and their weapons through tunnels along the border into the U.S. The weapons would be sent through tunnels that supposedly ended in Arizona and New Mexico, but the Islamist terrorists would be smuggled through Laredo, Texas, and reclaim the weapons later.

A number of the Afghans and Iraqis are already in a safe house in Texas, the FBI advisory said.

Fort Huachuca, which lies about 20 miles from the Mexican border, has members of all four service branches training in intelligence and secret operations. About 12,000 persons work at the fort and many have their families on base.

Lt. Col. Matthew Garner, spokesman for Fort Huachuca, said details about the current phase of the investigation or security changes on the post "will not be disclosed."

"We are always taking precautions to ensure that soldiers, family members and civilians that work and live on Fort Huachuca are safe," Col. Garner said. "With this specific threat, we did change some aspects of our security that we did have in place."

This is the new kind of Mashup....Tancredo ad and reality.
Was this political ad that far off???

North American What???

I hate to be the one to talk about anything first to my friends.
After living in New York city, back in 1993 and watching a terrorist blow up
a parking garage under the World Trade Center, that I used to park in regularly, you can imagine how that affects you.
If you said..."I am worried about terrorists doing something worst" you would get that
look. You all know the look...
It is the look that gets a certain response. Like "Hey man, relax and have a beer. Lets check out the Lakers on TV."

OK, I am relaxed...but there is something on the horizon and I just do not know how to
bring it up with anybody.
It is called the North American Union. OK, you have that look.
This is something that I am against. But how do you begin to address it when so many
have no idea what it is.
Here is a start. I will let others do the talking and then we can all discuss it!
