One of my customers said an illegal Arab crossed the Mexican border today carrying a nuclear bomb. His source was Rush Lumbaugh. Can't find any mention on Homeland Security or in the news. Did anyone else hear this?

What he said was that there was a concern with the border not being protected. And said what many on both sides of the isle have said that it is a grave concern, because of the possibility of someone bring a dirty bomb through the border.

There is something circulating, which I haven't yet seen from an unassailable source, that terrorists linked with Al Qaeda have already entered the US through our southern border with nuclear material and that 2 plots are in place. One here is called 'Hiroshima' and is possible in NY and Washington. Or Florida and I forget where. The other is 'against coalition forces in the holy week upcoming'.
Al-Jazeera is cited as a source for what is claimed to be a video from Al Qaeda, and another paper I am not familiar with carried this as well.
I have not seen a Homeland Security report or a NY Times report or anything like that.
The 'other paper' said that Homeland Security was becoming concerned that so many Asians had been found crossing the northern border with pottasium iodide tablets which give limited protection from nuclear fall out. Again, I don't know the source.

Source = Rush Limbaugh
conclusion: Rubbish.
It's quite possible that his pill connection was ill today, and so he may be a little more off than normal.
BTW, some middle-easterners have tried to get to US the same way Mexicans do. You know how we know? Because the Mexicans went to the Border Patrol to point out some brown folks that weren't speaking Spanish.

I do not doubt for a moment that illegal middle-easterners come via mexico.
I also do not doubt for a moment that extremist forces have brought in all they need to begin war in America.
For those who think this is too radical...have you forgotten 9/11?

Rush drank too much lemonade and had to run out of the room to the toilet. He had to release a gastric bomb in there.

For the sake of argument, let's say it was true. Do you really think that our government will admit to it? Don't you think it would be buried under the carpet? After all, elections are around the corner.

Makes me wonder how Rush heard about it.
