Mexico Caught Violating the 1944 Rio Grande Water Treaty AGAIN!

I don't have enough tin foil.

------ We will see who is right...so far, I am. :-)

I think I know what you are trying to say.

The big turn off was, "Mexico owns the White House".

Ummm....no, I don't think so.

That sounds like something the 'Rat pack (Dean, Pelosi, Kennedy, Reid) would say.

If you have the where-with-all to go look, I'll bet your statement is big news on DU right now.

They are always willing to bite.

How am I "reaching" when I describe the GA-AL border as qualitatively different from the TX-Mexico border?

Or, were you refering to my original post?

If you were (while I agree that such a declaration would be politically inexpedient) it would be, in a global-historical context, entirely within accepted norms.

This was the core of my statement - not that we should actually commit troops into their territory...

Well, first off,it may be true, and secondly, I would invite the DUs to say it loud and clear. Maybe then, the White House would realize that they are not going to sweep the issue under the rug, like it appears, so far.

Talk about tin foil? What are you worried about? Bush, or what is right for the country and American citizens? I am worried about the latter, as Bush should be, as well as the ENTIRE CONGRESS. Do you think that this is a news flash for the liberal creeps you mentioned? Not at all.

So again, let us assess what is important. Washington politics or the future and soverignty of our Republic.

Can the Treaty be dumped at this point and war declared?

[LasVegasMac]

Well, first off,it may be true,

I rest my case.

Bye.

Well, then we should expect Georgia and Alabama to start shooting at each other soon anytime soon.

I don't think that is a very good analogy.

If say some farmers in Alabama figured out a way to divert the Chattahoochee to their farms, I think the state of Alabama would simply make them stop.

[yarddog]

This is one of those situations where Mexico has no defense or ability except arrogance.

I am sure New Mexico would like to have some extra water. Just divert it all until those thieves learn to behave. Of course it would also shut off the river to Americans below but it doesn't look like they are getting much anyway.

Water flow from Presidio to El Paso...

Technically, the water flows from El Paso to Presidio. Of course, New Mexico is even more at fault. (Maybe this year they'll release some water.) The entire Pecos river in Texas has been mostly dry since the Red Bluff dam was built.

Since New Mexico has been failing release its mandated water to Texas, the Rio Grande has been fed by the Rio Conchos (the Mexican one, not the San Angelo one.)

...I think the state of Alabama would simply make them stop.

Which is (and should be), the way this will be handled, rather than considering it an act of war. AL & GA won't go to war, neither will the US & Mexico.

[Shanda]

The difference is Mexico will not make them stop.

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

They will...eventually. Certainly you know that there are longstanding water disputes inside the US. It will be worked out--without war. The AL, FL, GA dispute has been in court to 15 years.
