"What we need is money to put more boots

What they need is the US military on the border with orders of shoot to kill.

What would it take for President Bush to decide protecting the borders was more important than what Fox wants? Mass murder in Crawford? Does it have to impact him personally, tragically? Just wondering since it seems we're being dragged, kicking and screaming to protecting this nation's sovereignty.

As President Bush prepares to tour the U.S.-Mexico border this week, law enforcement officials in counties up and down Texas' 1,200-mile border with Mexico are coping with issues of national security, increased illegal immigration, and a growing fear that the drug cartels are moving upriver and just across the border from here.

Back in the 1870's, General Sherman travelled to Fort Richardson in North Texas to investigate the Indian problem.

Responding to a reporters question, Gen. Sherman answered, "I am here on official business. I am General William Tecumseh Sherman, the commanding General of the United States Army. I am here to inspect the frontier forts. In the past few months, both the Congress and the War Department have been bombarded with angry letters, petititions, and memorials from Texas politicians and citizens. According to these reports, Comanche and Kiowa Indians continue to raid throughout the West Texas frontier, robbing and murdering with wild graphic of the US flagabandon, despite the presence of U.S. soldiers."

Gen. Sherman made it safely to Fort Richardson, but the north Texas frontier was far from safe. A few days after Sherman passed by, a war party of Kiowa Indians attacked a wagon train on the same road. The Kiowas, led by Chiefs Sanatanta, Satanka, and Big Tree, had watched Sherman and his escort pass but chose not to attack him. Their assault on the wagon train, which resulted in the brutal death of the wagon master and six teamsters, is known as the Warren Wagon Train massacre. Sherman ordered Col. Ranald Mackenzie to puruse the Indians across the Red River and capture them on their reservation in Indian Territory. With this action, the U.S. Army changed it's attitude to frontier defense, and began an all-out assault on the raiding Indians.

Remember, history often repeats itself ...
