MONTERREY, Mexico - Governments throughout Mexico and Central America are on alert as evidence grows that al-Qaida members are traveling in the region and looking for recruits to carry out attacks in Latin America — the potential last frontier for international terrorism.

I can see why they would go there, that is the same place the usa is going for contract fighters too.

1. Sure, and they are all seem

to concentrate in Venesuela, not too far from the oil.

2. Good strategy as recruits have a better than even chance of slipping

across the border of Mexico into Texas, Arizona, California, etc.

3. We have now come full circle

the first so-called "War On Terror" was against the socialist revolutionaries in Latin America. Now it is THE LAST FRONTIER... so if any Spanish-speaking dictator wants a clean slate, he just has to "find" an "al-Qa'idah" cell and torture everybody just to be safe.

4. Damned if this isn't playing out like a rerun of the 80s - on crack.

What a nightmare! And it's not going to end when Kerry's elected, unless WE end it.

Btw, really appreciated your photo essay in the "Future of IRAQ" thread.

5. OMG!!!....Bush is recruiting the Chavez opposition to join Al Qaida.......

Isn't this interesting that this article
just happen to appear after Bush and company lost
the regime change in Venezuela?

Sounds so PREDICTABLE!!!!!!

KKKArl Rove/Cheney is SO PREDICTABLE!!!!!!!!!

6. Yellow alert...Nothing to do with Hugo. We must attak.

First we have to draft Canadians and give them big bombs.

7. Yep

Al-Qaida in Venezuela.....you betcha....an' chavez is helpin' 'em.

[DavidFL]

9. Yes, this must be what the State Dept.'s neocon nanny Boucher...

was talking about when he said al-Qaeda was collaborating with FARC in Venezuela just across the Colombian border. :eyes:

8. Where there is poverty...

... there is a rich recruiting field. Just see the approach the US Marines use, as depicted in "Fahrenheit 9/11."

11. Thanks for bringing this point home....

I wonder as BushCo takes this country further down into poverty if the rebels will be born to rise up against the facism....

we will become like the middle east were the fundies have no jobs and therefore go into further rethug mode against everyone else...

10. Copycats! Our School of the Americas has been recruiting in S. Amer. for

years! We train terro......er....mercenaries there cause they love our money and give us killers on the cheap.
