MEXICO CITY — Grenades made in the United States and sent to Central America during the Cold War have resurfaced as terrifying new weapons in almost weekly attacks by Mexican drug cartels.
Sent a generation ago to battle communist revolutionaries in the jungles of Central America, U.S. grenades are being diverted from dusty old armories and sold to criminal mafias, who are using them to destabilize the Mexican government and terrorize civilians, according to U.S. and Mexican law enforcement officials.
The redeployment of U.S.-made grenades by Mexican drug lords underscores the increasingly intertwined nature of the conflict, as President Felipe Calderón sends his soldiers out to confront gangs armed with a deadly combination of brand-new military-style assault rifles purchased in the United States and munitions left over from the Cold War.
Grenades have killed a relatively small number of the 25,000 people who have died since Calderón launched his U.S.-backed offensive against the cartels. But the grenades pack a far greater psychological punch than the ubiquitous AK-47s and AR-15 rifles — they can overwhelm and intimidate outgunned soldiers and police while reminding ordinary Mexicans that the country is literally at war.
There have been more than 72 grenade attacks in Mexico in the last year………READ MORE:

Stopped in Arizona , coming from Texas (which crossed from Mexico) headed to California …..
SURPRISE…….. IT AIN’T FOR HORSES!
You will probably wonder now every time you see a load of hay going down the highway….
What if the hiding place had illegals, terrorists, or maybe even a dirty bomb?
What if Arizona wasn’t as concerned as they are???

On the first day, God created the dog and said, “Sit
all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone
who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give
you a life span of twenty years.”
The dog said, “That’s a long time to be barking. How
about only ten years and I’ll give you back the other
ten?”
So God agreed……
On the second day, God created the monkey and said,
“Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh.
For this, I’ll give you a twenty-year life span.”
The monkey said, “Monkey tricks for twenty years?
That’s a pretty long time to perform. How about I
give you back ten like the dog did?”
And God agreed……
On the third day, God created the cow and said, “You
must go into the field with the farmer all day long
and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk
to support the farmer’s family. For this, I will
give you a life span of sixty years.”
The cow said, “That’s kind of a tough life you want
me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and
I’ll give back the other forty?”
And God agreed again……
On the fourth day, God created humans and said, “Eat,
sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this,
I’ll give you twenty years.”
But the human said, “Only twenty years? Could you
possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave
back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the
dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?”
“Okay,” said God. “You asked for it.”
So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat,
sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty
years, we slave in the sun to support our family.
For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to
entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten
years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained to you.

How Obama is Transforming America Through Immigration
By Mark Krikorian
Encounter Broadsides, 2010
In this penetrating Broadside, Mark Krikorian lays out the details of Obama’s open-borders approach to immigration and its political consequences. Krikorian, one of the leading critics of current immigration policy, examines the Administration’s record of weakening enforcement and describes how legislation crafted by the president’s supporters in Congress would ensure new waves of illegal immigration. Krikorian also explains how continued high levels of immigration, regardless of legal status, would progressively move the United States in the direction of more government and less liberty.
