From what I have been reading, the recruitment by Hezbollah and al Qaeda across Latin America, from Argentina to Mexico, has been going on. Even making in-roads against Roman Catholicism in some areas. Often in poor communities where just a *bit* of oil money or other funds can win friends and influence people.A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20372724.post-40530512456043192342007-06-04T17:25:00.000-04:002007-06-04T17:25:00.000-04:00Serendip - I thank you and I do try to get a fair ...Serendip - I thank you and I do try to get a fair accounting of what is going on and my views on same.<BR/><BR/>We can either start to take transnational terrorism seriously, and recognize its spread, especially in the Western Hemisphere... or be badly awakened one morning when *that* arrives on our doorstep in the form of native black Muslims from the Caribbean or Hispanic ones from Latin America. If we are blind to the Islamic part because we are too effete on racial matters, then we will deserve the slaughter that we get from that. Islam does not discriminate on the basis of race, and we dare not do so in trying to stop it. So long as it is thrown up as a smokescreen by the Left, we will continue to think the world is a sweet and nice place.<BR/><BR/>Right until the world decides to disabuse us of that. I would prefer not to see that happen again, but fear it is already too late.A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20372724.post-40898312355581788612007-06-04T17:23:00.000-04:002007-06-04T17:23:00.000-04:00We should be expecting mischief coming from Nicara...We should be expecting mischief coming from <A HREF="http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSN035318220070604?feedType=RSS" REL="nofollow">Nicaragua</A> next.SERENDIPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03723694891858094208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20372724.post-5236821444968981242007-06-04T17:16:00.000-04:002007-06-04T17:16:00.000-04:00Excellent info and as always comprehesive.

Especially if you have a phone-call intercept that looks at that. The captured computer should have been scoured by a good forensices team at the FBI or in the UK or by Interpol. <BR/><BR/>Piracy of an LNG tanker is serious business and relatively low-personnel and outlay affair. I do hope that each of those tankers gets a thorough inspection on each run before it gets close to port...<BR/><BR/>I do not like what I am seeing in Latin America and the Caribbean. Terrorists with designs on LNG terminals and tankers is *no* joke. I would hate to wake up one morning with part of Providence, RI or Hartford, CT gone in an LNG blast.A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20372724.post-21517511504575559332007-06-04T16:27:00.000-04:002007-06-04T16:27:00.000-04:00"Why, 19 SEPT 2001 is just after 9/11... coinciden..."Why, 19 SEPT 2001 is just after 9/11... coincidence? But even behind that, notice the use of Piracy to support terrorism and Piracy is an Act of War. And LNG tankers are a one-stop shop for the WMD-wannabe terrorist group: gaseous fuel kept in liquid state that is highly under pressure that, when ruptured, can disperse the contents and explode, sucking in oxygen as the explosion expands and sending out a forceful and long lasting shockwave as it does so. FAE bombs, in the military parlance, are known as "Daisy Cutters". Or a similar Massive Ordinance Air Burst bomb (MOAB)... although I do believe an LNG tanker would make that seem like a matchhead."<BR/><BR/>That's a serious claim.
