Sounds like we will see a "spike" up in illegals trying to get in before the Guard is in place. To be expected, I suppose.

Good reason for W to come out tomorrow and say; " I was just kidding about the 6,000 Guardsmen. It's really gonna be 6,000 spec op snipers."

(Yeah, I know, I'm bad)

Good reason for W to come out tomorrow and say; " I was just kidding about
the 6,000 Guardsmen. It's really gonna be 6,000 spec op snipers."

This evening Alberto Gonzales (sp?), suppossedly the Attorney General
of the USA, was on TV...saying that the "rules of engagement" for
the troops on the border hadn't been set yet.

My suspicion is that our troops will never have a magazine loaded.
And that our troops will be instructed to NEVER fire and to just
run away at the first sign of a challenge by a coyote or drug runner.

Dubya doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to explain some dead
Mexicans on the border (even if they had it coming) to his buddy Vicente.

I will be more than happy to eat crow (with much BBQ sauce, please)
if the BP and NG combine to really control the border and turn back
the invaders.

Word is circulating the small amount of Guard will not even be there on a semi permanent status for a year, but rather they'll rotate in and out every 15 days. Anyone confirm them?
