Ignoring the Hezbollah threat at Mexican border could be Obama’s Last Misstep July 18, 2:26 PM Boston Conservative Examiner Dean Chambers examiner.com Congresswomen Sue Myrick (R-NC) and others have warned that Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah is sending agents to the Mexican border. In cooperation with elements from Venezuela, the Hezbollah agents are learning Spanish and training Mexicans to work with them in smuggling terrorism across the border. Unless the border is secured, it’s only a matter of time before a Hezbollah terrorist attack on US soil takes place. Neither I nor anyone I know would want to see another terrorist attack on our soil nor see it become a game of political football for either side. But if Obama continue to hold securing the border hostage to his desire to get Congress to pass amnesty, he will have to be held accountable if Hezbollah stages a terrorist attack on our soil by getting the means to do such through the Mexican border. Additionally, Mexico by not doing enough to eradicate agents of Hezbollah from their country should also be held accountable if such an attack occurs. Securing the borders is a basic function of any government and when those borders can be penetrated by enemies from around the border, failing to secure the borders is failing the government’s most important function, that of assuring our national security. If President Obama’s policies lead to such a failure of national security and a terrorist attack on our soil, don’t be surprised to see almost immediate bipartisan calls for impeachment. They would be right in such calls and the president would have no choice but to resign in shame for not having done his job. The most absolute worst president in American history will have ensured that as his legacy. It would be a well-deserved legacy. Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com

U.S. is deporting the wrong man By: Cal Thomas Examiner Columnist June 29, 2010 What should be done with a man who infiltrated the terrorist group Hamas, spied for Israeli intelligence and broke up terror attacks, saving countless Israeli, as well as Palestinian, lives? Most people would say he should be honored. Not the U.S. government. It's trying to deport him. Mosab Hassan Yousef was more than a spy. He is the son of a founding leader of Hamas, which made him among the highest prizes for Israeli intelligence. Yousef and his Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) handler, Gonen Ben Itzhak, were in Washington last week, meeting with whomever would listen to them. Yousef told me -- and Itzhak confirmed -- that he never killed anyone and, in fact, prevented many from being killed while providing useful information that thwarted numerous terror attacks. In San Diego on Wednesday before an immigration judge, the government will charge that because of Yousef's "terrorist associations," he should be deported. Yousef tells me, "I acted like a terrorist in order to fool terrorists," but again emphasizes he never committed a terrorist act. His is a remarkable story that he tells in a book, "Son of Hamas: A Gripping Account of Terror, Betrayal, Political Intrigue, and Unthinkable Choices." Yousef is a man without a country. He was admitted to the United States in 2007 for medical treatment. His passport has expired. The government is holding his travel documents. If he is deported, he will be a prime target for those who consider him an infidel and traitor. President Obama's "Muslim adviser," Dalia Mogahed, has endorsed a movement started by Turkey's Fethullah Gulen that seeks to restore the Ottoman Empire and establish a universal caliphate, but Yousef, a Christian convert, faces expulsion from America. The administration has it backward. In an interview, I asked Yousef what evidence the government intends to use against him. He says, "In my book, I give in great detail my affiliation with Hamas. I give an example that I gave five Hamas terrorists a safe house. This is right, but what they are missing from the picture is that I did this as part of Israeli intelligence." By providing them a safe house, Yousef helped Israeli intelligence identify and in many cases arrest terrorists, stopping attacks. Yousef says he and Itzhak became such close friends that Itzhak, by testifying in his favor at the deportation hearing, will violate the wishes of Israeli intelligence, which worries about exposure... washingtonexaminer.com
