Noun
S: (n) Mexican standoff (a situation in which no one can emerge as a clear winner)

[George W. Bush]

Just smuggling the truckloads of marijuana that uppity Americans refuse to smuggle...

[madison10]

They must be harvesting some of the drugs from the U.S. National Park "fields" & shipping the pot back to Mexico.

The whole border issue steams me.

[DTogo]

Driving a dump truck filled with marijuana: just doing a job no American wants to do...

[sit-rep]

why is weed going into mexico?? I thought it came from mexico??

[topher]

Seems like the Predator Drones need to be armed with anti-marijuana missiles (and maybe anti-bulldozer missiles)...

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Should have called in an air strike from the military and smoked all of them. Stupid government on the U.S. side of the border.

[Travis McGee]

An armed standoff with Mexican dope smugglers, and the official Mexican Army, who are part and parcel of the smuggling operation.

BUMP

[DTwistedSisterS]

If we were invaded by the Mexican "Army" let's just stomp right through and turn the country into America's backyard parking lot.

Keep Cancun though, I heard it's nice.

A marijuana-laden dump truck got stuck in the Rio Grande on Thursday evening in Hudspeth County, leading to a standoff between U.S. law enforcement and what appeared to be the Mexican military, sheriff officials said.
"It's a very serious incident," Hudspeth County Chief Deputy Mike Doyal said.
"We are very fortunate (Thursday) night no one got hurt," Doyal said. "Everyone had the presence of mind not to cause an international incident, or start shooting."

Now rerconcile that with the following (I have corrected the appropriate section)

Doyal said the truck driver returned with the armed men, including men who arrived in official-looking vehicles with overhead lights and what appeared to be Mexican soldiers in uniform and with military-style rifles.
The Mexican army is used in anti- PRO-narcotics operations. Army officials could not be reached for comment.

Yup...so, all you OBL morons...still think that it's all about "cheap lettuce"?

Amazing part...the Mexican Army was used to recover their "property", and that witnesses confirmed it!

[dagnabbit]

Cordero, the Border Patrol spokesman, described the incident as an "armed encounter with drug smugglers" but would not confirm whether the Mexican military was involved. Investigations into the incident continue.

The Bush administration's dishonesty about borders and immigration runs deep - all the way down to Senoir Cordero.

[ViLaLuz]

""We are very fortunate (Thursday) night no one got hurt," Doyal said. "Everyone had the presence of mind not to cause an international incident, or start shooting."

What a totally idiotic global-brained statement. The armed group that went to retrieve the truck already made it an international incident.

[Minutemen]

I want our military to respond with tow missles next time the mexicans pull a stunt like that.
