60 Terrorists Smuggled Across US-Mexico Border — Planned to Attack Fort Huachuca in Arizona
The Liberals would have you to believe that we are a nation of bigots who don’t want any immigration into this country. That’s a load of crap! THIS is why “We The People” want to shore up our borders:
U.S. intel center wary of terrorist attack
November 25, 2007 – Washington Times
By Sara A. Carter – For more on this story, check tomorrow’s editions of The Washington Times or www.washingtontimes.com.
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 Huachuca changed security measures after sources warned that possibly 60 Afghan and Iraqi terrorists were smuggled into the U.S. through underground tunnels with high powered weapons to attack the post, 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 disbursed to the Defense Intelligence Agency, Central Intelligence Agency, Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Justice, among numerous 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 through tunnels along the border into the U.S. The numerous tunnels supposedly ended at warehouses in Laredo, Texas, and in Arizona.
Lt. Col. Matthew Garner, spokesman for Fort Huachuca, said details regarding 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,” Mr. Garner said. “With this specific threat we did change some aspects of our security that we did have in place.”
According to the FBI report, the weapons associated with the plot were smuggled through a tunnel from Mexico to the U.S.

There was a time when I would have welcomed all legal immigrants. Not all the time any more. What I have found is many will risk being caught and will have family members smuggled into this country illegally. Not the kind of citizens we need or really want. Most of the ones I know who have been guilty of this received amnesty under Reagan. Are there legal immigrants not guilty of this crime? Sure are and to those I say welcome.
With that out of the way the borders should and could have been fully secured years ago. The technology and even money is there but there is so much pressure from the liberals/socialists that it has not been done. Then there are those who want to make one country out of three, the NAU. Because of this any one including terrorists can waltz into our country and do pretty much whatever they want to do. Not saying some of them aren’t caught coming into our country illegally but more so than not they waltz right in.
One day this is going to really bite all of us in the arse (more so than 9/11) and by then it will be too late to do anything about it. That’s unless We the People find a way to get through to those in office or elect new Rep’s and Senators who are for us and not against us.
Just my humble opionions.

When ypu listen to the leftists, you invite disaster, be it immigration, taxes, the role of government, terrorism, etc. These fellow travellers of Islamaniacs are even more dangerous than the terrorists themselves.

Sorry guys I am not buying into this.
There are several things that make me believe this is just badly written propaganda. Among them:
Arizona is a right to carry state meaning almost everyone has weapons and probably can use them.
Arabs would stand out in the local populace, which BTW would have zero reason to support them.
Drug gangs do not need the heat this would bring down on them and would also have zero reason to support this insane idea. The entire border would lock down hurting business for longer than Muslims terrorists could pay them back for, their loses would be staggering. Gangs depend on anonymity not scrutiny.
It’s an Army base, response would be quick trained and deadly. Training base or not the cadre, support troops, permanent party and those soldiers tdy are all combat vets, accomplished Muslim killers. They have both the skill and the home field advantage.
It’s a freaking Intelligence training base with more assets than anywhere except maybe Iraq. You couldn’t fart and not be detected.
All military bases have armed guards, roving patrols and quick reaction plans.
No Arab force has ever won a force on force battle with our military.
Muslim math 50-60 fighters means 2 or 3 guys with big mouths and dreams but no balls.
Also added into my analysis is who would benefit and who would not?
Politicians would be answerable as to why our border is still unsecured.
Politicians who voted against funding or increased resources in either party would be out on their useless asses (a good thing)
Backlash would be massive among the Muslim communities all over the USA (another good thing), no more support, funds, Islamic schools or loud mouth Imams whining about tolerance.
There are other things to consider but added together we have a bigger chance than Osama would publicly except Baptism and Convert to Catholicism than a cross border attack into a well Armed and defended military base.

Ronin-
Your view is quite logical and you probably are right. However, there still is the possibility that such an attack can happen-these bastards like to shock and they might be thinking what’s more shocking than an attack on an army base within the US. Plus they could try this because they really are stupid enough to think they will win. These are some illogical fools we’re speaking of. After 9/11 anything is possible with that bunch.

We have seen many threats since 9/11 and all were bogus. I expect to see them around holidays or elections. This is grandstanding nothing more. Even if such a plan were made they would cancel once it became public.
