I didn't know Michael Moore worked as a consultant for the Mexican government.

Willie, I love the keyword you put on the posting - Dope! - so, who do we think the dope is?

I'm beginning to get a real nasy distaste for Senor Derbez. It's amazing to realize that he's Mexico's Condoleeza Rice!

[Kidan]

first it's just drug smugglers in Mexican military uniforms, now it's US soldiers in Mexican military uniforms.


geez, who am I gonna believe....</sarcasm>

[The South Texan]

"The U.S. Embassy in Mexico made no immediate comment on Derbez's claims."

I guess we'll be saying sorry to Mexico soon on this one too.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez should shut his "flan hole".

[SpaceBar]

There's a simple way to verify their claims. Next incursion, shoot the perps dead and then identify the bodies. That should clear things up in a jiffy.

Friggin A$$hole!

'W' should get serious and make this loser resign!

[Redcitizen]

The weekly world news maybe...

[EGPWS]

Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez also told a news conference that U.S. soldiers had helped drug smugglers before. However, he offered no evidence.

Chuckles...a most formidable thread by the venerable Willie Green.

Mexico's top diplomat suggested Thursday

Now, that's some real diplomatin' by the top diplomat. Baghdad Bob is alive and well.

Maybe it was space aliens! Yeah, that's the ticket!

[steel_resolve]

they're drug smugglers...no wait, they're american military...no wait they're aliens from outerspace...How pathetic coming from their foreign secretary no less...PATHETIC.

[KarlInOhio]

Sounds like our old friend has a new job in Mexico.

There are no US troops in Baghdad. They are all wearing Mexican army uniforms and are hauling drugs over the border.

[chilepepper]

i have no doubt that "G.I.s" help pot smugglers and i even have no doubt that "G.I.s" *areO pot smugglers...

...but of course the "G.I.s" in question are soldiers in the Mexican Army, not the US Army...

[NoClones]

that frito bandito should keep his yap shut

[GingisK]

...U.S. soldiers had helped drug smugglers before...

This is well documented. A fellow by the name of Oliver North comes to mind. I doubt if this sort of thing was stopped by the current administration.

[Riley]

I am increasingly of the opinion that sealing the border will absolutely force Mexico's corrupt elite to deal with their problems, instead of ignoring them and letting us do it for them.

[untrained skeptic]

I used to like visiting the Mexican Rivera in the spring as a nice vacation.

I've met many nice people there, and come away with generally a possitive opinion of the Mexican people from those visits.

However, the recent actions of their current government make me unwilling to spend my hard earned dollars in their country.

The Mexican people don't think any more highly of their government than we do, but unless they are going to put enough pressure on their government to change, I don't want to go there.

There's a simple way to verify their claims. Next incursion, shoot the perps dead and then identify the bodies. That should clear things up in a jiffy...

Concur, shoot them, take their fingerprints and then tell the Mexican Authorities, "Sorry, they opened fire on our forces from inside our border. They left us no choice but to return fire. We've been unable to identify the individuals involved. Do you wish to examine the bodies?
