I didn't believe it so I had to check.

The actual title DOES use "tactic's" with an apostrophe.

First rate journalism, that.

Wow...the source title actually does have that apostrophe in “tactic’s.” Someone needs an editor.

Could have easily been solved by dropping a hellfire on them, but hey what do I know.

Ramos and Compean should be released and given all back pay with a serious apology.

Snipers should be present during as many border related issues as possible and anytime agents are fire upon, they go immediately green.

“fired upon with what appeared to be military type automatic weapons by Mexican drug smugglers dressed in military garb”

With some insight, this might read:
“Mexican military smuggling drugs and firing on U.S. Border Patrol.”

a newly constructed earthen dirt berm

Is there any other kind of dirt berm than the 'earthen' kind?

“Smugglers”, hell.

It was probably the Mexican Army!

Oh, wait... the terms are synonymous...

The threat that is Mexico has FINALLY hit the media!

You know it’s BAD, when they finally report it. Last night, CBS Nightly News with Couric did a solid 10 minutes on the WAR in MEXICO that has NOW spilled over our borders.....More deaths than Iraq....more beheadings (even showed the bodies!)....5th journalist killed this year....citizens in terror...and ALL the stuff we’ve been crying about for how many years??

Well, McCain, et al’s PC immigration experiment has finally left us with what I believe is a terrible dilemma. We will be overrun with an exodus from Mexico like nothing this nation has ever seen. We will either take them or we will be forced to send troops to Mexico to work along side a corrupt army and police.

One way or another a lot of people are going to die over some people’s greed/ideology.

Mexican drug smugglers pose top crime threat

WASHINGTON — Mexican drug traffickers who pair up with gangs and use a sophisticated network to smuggle drugs across the border have become the biggest organized crime threat to the United States, the Justice Department reported Monday.

Most of the cocaine available in the U.S. is brought across the southwest border by Mexican groups, according to the annual report by the Justice Department’s National Drug Intelligence Center.

Additionally, Mexican drug smugglers are increasingly working with Italian Mafia and other traditional organized crime groups nationwide, the report says.

“Mexican drug trafficking organizations represent the greatest organized crime threat to the United States,” the report concluded. “The influence of Mexican drug trafficking organizations over domestic drug trafficking is unrivaled.”.[snip]

backed up on a newly constructed earthen dirt berm which put the truck almost even with the height of the fence. The tow truck operator slowly unloaded two trucks laden with marijuana over the 18 ft. high fence

Did no one previously notice them building a dirt berm tall enough to hand stuff over an 18 foot fence?!?!?

The entire episode was caught on the remote camera surveillance system and watched by U.S. predator and National Guard camera operators

That's nice, but it sound like we need A10's.

We should use armed Predator’s (intended) to guard the border.

Does the Mex national government promote illegal entry into the U.S. partly because they fear being killed or overthrown by the drug lords? That would slow down those "enforcement" reflexes, wouldn't it? Even without the remittance money from illegals being mailed and transferred from the U.S. to Mexico.

The payoffs and threats from the drug lords may dwarf mere GNP considerations. It looks like a contingent of the army is "bought" as well. Considering how many "no-go" areas of Mexico there are now, I just wouldn't be surprised.

This looks like an invasion to me. How about an airborne response next time - at least it will keep the Mexican Army from having to torch the vehicles...
I say we take a chapter from the Israel border enforcement on the Gaza Strip.

I’m not sure, but I think this website’s assault on the English language might be more destructive than the waves of illegal immigrants and bilingual education combined.

Another war we are in but which we don’t fight.

If we just ripped the hell out of some of these vehicles, they might get the message. Oh, and if the people happen to be too close, oops!

The drone can find a tow truck with cargo but not detect the earth moving equipment building an 18 foot berm at the fence? Somebodies being paid to look the other way and/or alter evidence and records.
Post #1894355 from last year comes to mind. Was about Blackhawks being deployed after drones spotted illegals.

Couple this with the other story about the gang war using weapons acquired in the United States. I don't think so. Full auto weapons are nearly impossible to obtain and exceedingly expensive when you can find them via legal channels. It's more likely the corrupt Mexican government supplying firearms to their "friends" in the cartels.
