Authorities say the ring virtually monopolized smuggling routes along an 80-mile section of the Arizona-Mexico border from Yuma to just east of the small Tohono O'odham Nation town of Sells.
Yep, not a reason in the world to worry about Illegal Immigration or a secure border, just nothing to see here dumbass's move along...
Actually more reason to have an armed Military presence along the border with explicit orders to shoot and kill!
Its a tough way to go, just consider it a "No GO Zone"

Arizona authorities have disrupted a Mexican drug cartel's distribution network, arresting dozens of smugglers in dismantling a ring responsible for carrying more than $33 million worth of drugs through the state's western desert every month, officials said Monday.
The ring is believed be tied to the Sinaloa cartel -- Mexico's most powerful -- and responsible for smuggling more than 3.3 million pounds of marijuana, 20,000 pounds of cocaine and 10,000 pounds of heroin into the U.S. through Arizona over the past five years, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Their efforts in that time generated an estimated $2 billion, according to ICE

Authorities Bust Massive Southwest Drug Smuggling Ring
Unesco Accepts Palestinians as Full Members
So it appears that no matter what the Palestinians do they will become full members of the U.N., it starts with acceptance into UNESCO; and the U.S. stopped its funding for these U.N. programs.
No matter how many Qassam rockets Hamas launches into Israel, no matter how many times Islamic Jihad helps, no matter how many times you will hear a Palestine scream death to the Jews and wipe Israel off the face of the earth, no matter how many Palestinians sneak into Israel and slaughter entire families... they are worthy of acceptance into the U.N....
The NY Times
Palestine became the 195th full member of Unesco on Monday, as the United Nations organization defied a mandated cutoff of American funds under federal legislation from the 1990s. The vote of Unesco’s full membership was 107 to 14, with 52 abstentions.
The step will cost the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization one-quarter of its yearly budget — the 22 percent contributed by the United States (about $70 million) plus another 3 percent contributed by Israel. Victoria Nuland, a State Department spokeswoman, said that American contributions to Unesco, including $60 million scheduled for this month, would not be paid.

U.S. To Resume Talks With North Korea
Talks resume, oh boy.
Its been a few months without anything and before that its been even longer, so why not have a little chit chat with the lonely little Kimmie and his minions.
(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. will resume direct talks with North Korea next week in Geneva in the hope that engaging Kim Jong Il’s regime will prevent it from taking hostile actions, including nuclear weapons tests.
A U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity said that while there is no new information suggesting a change of heart by North Korea, the Obama administration has decided that engagement may prevent hostile provocations. The U.S. yesterday announced the appointment of a full-time envoy to oversee the effort to persuade North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons program, with Glyn Davies, ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, succeeding Stephen Bosworth...
“I don’t think we can expect much out of this meeting, but it could be seen as progress if they can at least set agendas for future talks,” said Dong Yong Sueng, a senior fellow at the Samsung Economic Research Institute in Seoul. “This will just serve to help ease tensions and create a more favorable atmosphere.”

Pakistan Says ‘Confusion,’ ‘Disarray’ in U.S. Afghan Policy
Disarray ? Confusion ? Of course, how are we supposed to deal with countries that say they want to fight against terrorism yet at the same time support the terrorists that we are fighting against !
Hey Pakistan, You were helping Osama Bin Laden live a cushy life you jackass's.
Bloomberg
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said U.S. policy on Afghanistan shows a “confusion and policy disarray” and the three nations need to coordinate action to combat terrorism.
“Clearly, there is concern over the deterioration of the security situation in Afghanistan,” Gilani said in a statement released by the Foreign Ministry in Islamabad yesterday. “There is the need for close policy coordination between Afghanistan, Pakistan and the U.S.”
Recent attacks in the Afghan capital, Kabul, including on the U.S. embassy were “disquieting” and Pakistan condemns such incidents, Gilani said.
U.S. and Afghan officials say the Haqqani group based in Pakistan and eastern Afghanistan, backed by Pakistan’s main military intelligence agency, carried out high-profile attacks in Kabul, including the Sept. 13 assault that hit the U.S. embassy with rocket-propelled grenades.
“We strongly reject assertions of complicity with the Haqqanis or of proxy war,” Gilani said in the statement. The “blame-game is self-defeating.”

U.S. could call for al-Assad to step down
Oh, now its gonna get serious; the U.S. is talking to the U.N.(Useless Nitwits) about talking to Bashar Al-ASSad about stepping down!
This Should get some quick results, like more tanks and deaths!
Keep talking folks the Syrian people will keep dying while you try to figure things out between all of ya !
CNN
The international cries for Syria's government to end a bloody crackdown on civilians could intensify Wednesday as activist groups reported fresh onslaughts in several cities.
The United Nations Security Council is expected Wednesday to follow up on a statement last week that condemned the Syrian regime for attacks on peaceful protesters and called for both sides to end the violence.
Meanwhile, the United States is moving toward issuing an explicit call for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down, U.S. government sources told CNN Tuesday.
The move is expected to be announced in coming days after U.S. officials consult with the United Nations Security Council, the sources said. They said the question of whether to call for al-Assad to step down has been under discussion over the past few weeks, the sources said.
While international leaders mull their next steps, heavy gunfire, explosions and tanks permeated the eastern city of Deir Ezzor on Wednesday, an activist group and a resident said.

China strongly objects to Obama-Dalai meeting
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu said, through a written statement released early Sunday morning, that such an act grossly interferes in China's internal affairs, hurts the feelings of Chinese people, and damages Sino-American relations.

BEIJING, July 17 (Xinhuanet) -- China has voiced its strong indignation, and stern objection, to US President Barack Obama's Saturday meeting with the Dalai Lama, while demanding the American side adopt immediate measures to negate the impact.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu said, through a written statement released early Sunday morning, that such an act grossly interferes in China's internal affairs, hurts the feelings of Chinese people, and damages Sino-American relations.
Ma urged the US to seriously consider China's stance, stop interfering in China's internal affairs, and cease supporting separatist forces seeking Tibet independence.

Jerusalem Imam" Obama will hang
It's a good thing we gave Bin Laden an islamic burial haven't released his death photos so as not to inflame muslim sensitivities. YNet News
An imam from the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem vowed to take revenge over "the western dogs" for killing Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan on Sunday.
In a Youtube video uploaded by the imam he said: "The western dogs are rejoicing after killing one of our Islamic lions. From Al-Aqsa Mosque, where the future caliphate will originate with the help of God, we say to them – the dogs will not rejoice too much for killing the lions. The dogs will remain dogs and the lion, even if he is dead, will remain a lion."

Beast of Kandahar was used in raid on Bin Laden
The stealth drone that is known as the "Beast of Kandahar" (since a picture of it was taken in Kandahar) was apparently used in the raid on Bin Laden. Pakistani radar obviously did not pick it up.

We killed Bin Laden!!!11!1!
We finally killed the bastard. Now he's burning in hell. CNN
According to a White House official Osama bin Laden's body will be handled according to islamic practice. But Patrick from AZ (a commentator from Politico) makes a great point...."The White House wants to pretend that Islam had nothing to do with 9-11, and then they give this POS Islamic honors? Who gives **** about Islamic tradition - this PC BS is dangerous"
So if Osama bin Laden doesn't represent islam than I bet muslims won't be offended if his body will be wrapped in bacon and left to rot at ground zero.

Syria violence: US warns citizens to leave
Who are the stupid ass's that are still in Syria?
If there are any U.S citizens in Syria, that are still within their right mind; maybe they deserve what happens to them!
It does not take any effort at all to notice that the Muslim world has been turned upside down and that you are a target within a Muslim country if you are not a Muslim!
Why would you be in Syria in the first place?
BBC
The US has warned its citizens to leave Syria, as the government of President Bashar al-Assad intensifies its campaign against peaceful protests.
The state department also said some non-essential embassy staff and all embassy dependants would be leaving.
The UK says it is working with its partners on measures against Damascus. The US is also considering santions.
Tanks have been sent into Deraa, the town at the centre of protests against President Bashar al-Assad.
There have been numerous reports of crackdowns and arrests around Syria over recent days, despite the lifting of an emergency law last week.
More than 350 people have been killed in the violence since mid-March, activists say.

Tens of thousands of evacuees can't head home for months
So now radiation has been found in beef, what next for Japan.
The effects are being seen here in the states also. it is funny though that all those radiation monitoring stations they rushed to put up mysteriously did not work, radiation was detected all the way in Boston before the rest of the United States.
And then the report that radiation contaminated milk was found in Washington State, yeah they say it is at extremely low levels, but do you want to trust anybody in charge? Imagine the mayhem here if everybody knows that we are ingesting food contaminated with radiation, of course they are going to tell us the levels are low.
CNN
"The evacuation period is going to be longer than we wanted it to be," Edano said. "We first need to regain control of the nuclear power plant."...
The plight of the evacuees and those within a 20-to-30 kilometer radius of the facility, who have been told to stay indoors and encouraged to leave, is one of many storylines still playing out in relation to the crisis. Many are rooted at the northeast Japan power plant where dozens of workers, soldiers and others are rushing to prevent the disaster from worsening, while further afoot farmers, citizens and officials are dealing with the effects of already released radiation.
That includes news Thursday, from Japan's health ministry, thatradiation higher than the regulatory limit has been found in beef from Fukushima prefecture, the same province as the embattled nuclear plant.
The levels were slightly above the guidelines set by Japan's Nuclear Safety Commission -- 510 becquerels (a measurement of radioactivity by weight), compared to the official limit of 500 becquerels. For reference, Japan earlier set a 100-becquerel threshold at which infants shouldn't drink tap water, with a 300-becquerel maximum for adults.
The meat will not be sold and will be retested, the ministry said.
The finding is the first such in beef, although authorities have banned the sale and transport of numerous vegetables grown in the area after tests detected radiation.

Pakistan likely to release US diplomat
And if he is smart he will leave Pakistan Immediately.
Foxnews
Pakistani officials are indicating that a U.S. diplomat charged with murder in Pakistan may soon be released.
Two Pakistani officials in the United States told The Associated Press on Friday they expect Davis to be free in days, once a Pakistani court goes over documents U.S. officials have submitted to prove his diplomatic status. The Pakistani officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter. U.S. officials say Raymond Davis, who works at the consulate in Lahore, acted in self-defense in shooting and killing two armed men who approached him on the street after robbing someone else.

Report: U.S.-Israel Tested Worm Linked to Iran Atom Woes
The Times said the worm was the most sophisticated cyber-weapon ever deployed and appeared to have been the biggest factor in setting back Iran's nuclear march. Its sources said it caused the centrifuges to spin wildly out of control and that a fifth of them had been wiped out.
From the onset of the Stuxnet Virus/worm, it was clear that it was designed to attack Iran.
Awesomely nice Job!
foxnews
WASHINGTON -- Israel has tested a computer worm believed to have sabotaged Iran's nuclear centrifuges and slowed its ability to develop an atomic weapon, The New York Times reported Saturday.
In what the Times described as a joint Israeli-U.S. effort to undermine Iran's nuclear ambitions, it said the tests of the destructive Stuxnet worm had occurred over the past two years at the heavily guarded Dimona complex in the Negev desert.
The newspaper cited unidentified intelligence and military experts familiar with Dimona who said Israel had spun centrifuges virtually identical to those at Iran's Natanz facility, where Iranian scientists are struggling to enrich uranium.
"To check out the worm, you have to know the machines," an American expert on nuclear intelligence told the newspaper. "The reason the worm has been effective is that the Israelis tried it out."

Chinese leaders ordered Google hack
So even when further proof arrives, denial still reigns supreme.
China will Look into this, the U.S. will still be unsure and not want to say anything to upset the Communist country.
Feel like you've Been sold out yet.
Same old Bullshit Different day!
The Washington post.
A brazen series of computer intrusions into Google networks in China announced by the search engine company earlier this year were directed by the highest levels of the Chinese government, a "well-placed" Chinese source told U.S. Embassy officials in Beijing in January.
The revelation was contained in a classified State Department cable, part of a cache of cables leaked to the site WikiLeaks and disclosed Saturday.
"A well-placed contact claims that the Chinese government coordinated the recent intrusions of Google systems," the cable said. "According to our contact, the closely held operations were directed at the Politburo Standing Committee level." ...
The penetrations resulted in the theft of "significant" intellectual property, Google officials said. The company surprised many by publicly reporting the hacking, and further by saying its investigation found that the attacks originated in China. But the company stopped short of saying the attacks were directed by the government.
ad_icon
U.S. officials have not verified the report. "There is a single-source report that the attack was directed by the Chinese government," said a senior U.S. official, who was not authorized to speak on the record. "We have never been able to corroborate that."
Or Maybe, just to chickenshit to say something about it .

Wikileaks cables reveal China 'ready to abandon North Korea'
Little Kimmie must feel so Ronery after hearing this.
Guardianuk
China has signalled its readiness to accept Korean reunification and is privately distancing itself from the North Korean regime, according to leaked US embassy cables that reveal senior Beijing figures regard their official ally as a "spoiled child".
News of the Chinese shift comes at a crucial juncture after the North's artillery bombardment of a South Korean island last week that killed four people and led both sides to threaten war. China has refused to condemn the North Korean action. But today Beijing appeared to bow to US pressure to help bring about a diplomatic solution, calling for "emergency consultations" and inviting a senior North Korean official to Beijing.
China's moves to distance itself from Kim are revealed in the latest tranche of leaked US embassy cables published by the Guardian and four international newspapers. Tonight, the US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, said the US "deeply regrets" the release of the material by WikiLeaks. They were an "attack on the international community", she said. "It puts people's lives in danger, threatens our national security and undermines efforts to work with other countries to solve shared problems," she told reporters at the state department.

NKorea warns region is on brink of war
Funny how the Norks Pepper an Island of South Korea's with artillery rounds, Unprovoked, and the South publicly condemns it along with the U.S., it is then seen as an act of war on South Korea's Behalf!
Part of me would like to see the Norks Bombed to oblivian , The other part would like to see them nuked!
Foxnews
YEONPYEONG ISLAND, South Korea – North Korea warned Friday that U.S.-South Korean plans for military maneuvers put the peninsula on the brink of war, and appeared to launch its own artillery drills within sight of an island it showered with a deadly barrage this week.
The fresh artillery blasts were especially defiant because they came as the U.S. commander in South Korea, Gen. Walter Sharp, toured the South Korean island to survey damage from Tuesday's hail of North Korean artillery fire that killed four people.
South Korea names defense minister amid criticism
"(We) think nominee Kim, well-respected for professionalism and conviction, is the right person for the post in order to restore trust from people and boost morale in the entire military,"
Boost Morale of the Military.
You mean they are not going to sit on their hands anymore while their ass's are being handed to them?
(Reuters) - South Korea named a career soldier as its new defense minister on Friday amid mounting criticism of the government's response to Tuesday's attack by North Korea, its heaviest bombardment since the 1950-53 Korean War.
The move came hours after North Korea said that impending military exercises by the South and the United States were pushing the region toward conflict.
The presidential Blue House appointed Kim Kwan-jin, 61, former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, to replace Kim Tae-young, who had tried to resign the defense portfolio in May following criticism of the government's response to a torpedo attack on a South Korean warship blamed on the North.
"(We) think nominee Kim, well-respected for professionalism and conviction, is the right person for the post in order to restore trust from people and boost morale in the entire military," presidential secretary Hong Sang-pyo told a news briefing.

Russian agent says charity tied to terrorism
"I rejected terrorism all my life and it is not compatible to my belief," Seda said. "Islam is a religion of justice, peace and forgiveness. Terrorism is and always has been rejected by me and my faith."
Taqiyya anyone?
Foxnews
A former Russian counterterrorism agent testified Tuesday that an Islamic charity that once had its U.S. headquarters in Oregon was financing Islamic fighters battling the Russian Army in the breakaway republic of Chechnya.
However, under cross-examination, Col. Sergey Ignatchenko acknowledged that the names he had of Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation officials tied to terrorism did not include defendant Pete Seda, also known as Pirouz Sedaghaty.
"I never knew about him, I never heard about him," he said.
Ignatchenko, now head of communications for the Russian Federal Security Service, testified via live video feed from former KGB headquarters in Moscow as a prosecution witness in the U.S. District Court sentencing of Seda. His remarks were interpreted by a translator in court.
Ignatchenko testified that his agency had information that Al-Haramain financed a terrorist training camp in Chechnya and was in contact with the leaders of Muslim fighters but did not know the specific source of the funds...
Judge Michael Hogan postponed sentencing, saying he needed a couple weeks to prepare a written response to legal issues, particularly whether to apply the so-called terrorism enhancement that would give Seda the maximum eight years in prison for his convictions for tax fraud and conspiracy.
A former Ashland, Ore., peace activist and tree surgeon, Seda is an Iranian-born, naturalized U.S. citizen and a co-founder of Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation in the U.S...
Though Seda has never been charged with terrorism, prosecutors are seeking the maximum sentence of eight years in prison by offering evidence that Seda intended the money to support guerrillas fighting against a country with which the United State was at peace.
