Targets - Positioning Assets

By now we're all aware of the massive repatriation of foreign nationals or "ex-pats" from Lebanon. Thousands upon thousands of individuals are being returned to Australia, the UK, the US and Canada in the name of humanitarian relief.

All because we're kind to people who are too stupid to avoid warzones. I think our kindness may bite us in the ass big-time though.

Do you think the people we're "rescuing" are going through a proper vetting process? Full background checks before they get on the boats and planes? Do you really think we have the infrastructure in place to properly process thousands upon thousands of people in such a short time? Not friggin likely. Do you think these individuals are being detained, once they land on North American soil, so a proper vetting can be performed? Not so much. The vast majority of these people are free to roam as soon as they get off of the planes.

Right now, if a terrorist wanted to travel to North America, all he would need is a passport with a name that doesn't cause a red flag to pop up in some database somewhere. Up here in Canada, even if that individual was identified as being a member of a terrorist organization, they'd still be brought back to Canadian soil. Christ, we won't even put these individuals on a no-fly list. Is it possible that we're bringing terrorists back? Absolutely!

Terrorist cells operating in North America are getting busted or have been neutered due to law enforcement investigations. Terrorist operations are being frozen and the only way their objectives are going to be met is if they put new personnel in place. Picture a shift change at your local power plant. All the equipment and infrastructure stays operational. The only thing that changes is the personnel. The power plant keeps running. In the case of a terrorist shift change, personnel under investigation are replaced by personnel who aren't and the "terror plant" keeps running. The terrorists haven't been able to do that easily until now.

If you were a terrorist leader looking to make a personnel change, would you not capitalize on the current evacuation? Would you not use the ability to position untold numbers of people on North American soil to your advantage? Our humanitarian efforts are the perfect opportunity for the terrorists to make a required "shift change" and I think it's a given, at this point, that we're importing a whole wack of new terrorists. The question now is "how many?".

*******************

Understanding the above, can one speculate that the "humanitarian crisis" in Lebanon was created with the "shift-change" in mind? A good chess player always plays 5 or 6 moves ahead of the piece he's got his fingers on. Is it possible that Hezbollah picked a fight with Israel in order to start a war and spur the evacuations?

Any thoughts you folks have would be appreciated.
