Hezbollah Sets Sights On US

In a disturbing report issued today, Hezbollah is closer to launching attacks on the US than many may think. Hezbollah has no longer confined itself to Lebanon or Iran, they have set up camp in South America. Hezbollah has based itself out of the tri-border area, bordered by Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. This are is known for its lawlessness and is considered a haven for drugs and criminal activity. We can now add terrorism to the list.

"The Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia has taken root in South America, fostering a well-financed force of Islamist radicals boiling with hatred for the United States and ready to die to prove it, according to militia members". Not only is Hezbollah training for war against the US, they are financing operations out of the Middle East. Taking advantage of the drug trade, Hezbollah is also financing training, propaganda and attacks in South America.

Hezbollah has proved itself willing to attack in South America before. In 1992, they attacked the Israeli Embassy with a car bomb killing 29 people. In 1994, a suicide bomber killed 85 people at the Argentine Israelite Jewish Community Center. Argentine officials stated the Iranian president at the time, ordered the attacks in retaliation against Argentina for not cooperating with Iran in its nuclear development.

A Hezbollah terrorist interviewed in the tri-border area stated, "If he attacks Iran, in two minutes Bush is dead...we are Muslims. I am Hezbollah. We are Muslims, and we will defend our countries at any time they are attacked".

If anyone thinks that the war on terrorism and border security were not important to the survivability of America they are wrong. Our boarder with Mexico is wide open, especially to terrorists, who are able to finance high end smugglers to get them into America. They have shown a propensity to conduct operations and attacks in South America, the same attacks we once thought were localized to the Middle East.

Islamic extremism is slowly encroaching toward America. Evident by there domination in the Middle East, their movements into Africa and Europe and now they are perched position in South America. Lets not forget about the extremists embedded here in America. When the horn is blown and the attack begins, they will strike from our heartland.

We must defend America now or we will be defending our families here at home.
