for once.
This is such madness! And the media seems to find Paris Hilton’s shortened sentence. Where is the priority! I thought the motto was, “If it bleeds, it leads!” (??)
Fort Huachuca soldiers told to stay out of Mexico after at
SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. — The Army’s top officer in southern Arizona on Friday ordered soldiers at Fort Huachuca not to travel into Mexico because of recent drug-related violence across the border.
Maj. Gen. Barbara Fast, commander of the Intelligence Center and Fort Huachuca, issued the order after a drug cartel assault force overran the town of Cananea on Wednesday.
The attackers killed seven people, including five police officers, before police and army troops hunted down and killed 16 of the assailants in ensuing mountain gunbattles.
“In view of the recent increase in drug-related violence just across the Mexican border near the towns of Cananea and Naco, until further notice, I am directing that all military personnel and strongly advising all Department of the Army civilian personnel and their families to restrict their travel by avoiding the border towns of Mexico,” Fast’s order said.
“If you or your families are traveling near the border on the U.S. side, please use caution.”
Maj. Matt Garner, the fort’s chief spokesman, said standard operating procedure calls for anyone planning to travel in Mexico to get a briefing beforehand from the chain of command, which he said provides “a heightened sense of security.”
But Garner said the Army does not track how many personnel from the fort normally go across the border on a given weekend.
That's up to us, and we keep failing to do that every election cycle.
“Soto said he was not aware of the vigilantes, but he discouraged civilians from trying to assume the role of law enforcement.”
Hey Pal. That’s OUR JOB!
WE THE PEOPLE are the MILITIA you jerks keep trying to disarm!
We all knew one day it would spill over into this country they are lawless mexican nationalists who are overtaking this country with almost every one of our politicians aiding and abetting. It's called open borders, globalism, NAU, free trade etc. Do we really want a globalist as our next President?
I've long campaigned against it, to the mockery of many who claim it doesn't exist. Maybe when it's their own families who are being speared, raped, murdered, wrecked, they'll say heck no!
Mexican bloodbath raises fears in U.S. - Worldnet Daily
Arizona towns alarmed by rise in attacks, rumor convoy headed north
A hooded suspect is questioned Wednesday by lawmen at a mountain hideout near Arizpe, Sonora. Officials say at least 15 gunmen were killed during a shootout with military personnel, and local, state and federal police following a kidnapping in Cananea, 81 miles south of Nogales.
“Fine. Pull off the National Guard and send the Marines.”
I wonder what Puff the Magic Dragon would look like in Border Patrol livery?
Up to 100 already?
Yep. But don’t worry, according to one coverup article, this is all just a joke, a false alarm.
Wonder if they’ve got Baghdad Bob on speaker phone?
Ai, yai, yai...
Our paper had some blurb about it, and Lou Dobbs
covered it, but CNN and Fox are mainly just interested in the latest missing person.
What else is new? They're part and parcel of the globalist/NAU problem.
One caller reported that a group of over 30 armed Arizonans were headed to the border to help the Border Patrol fend off an advancing column of narco-gunmen.
Soto said he was not aware of the vigilantes, but he discouraged civilians from trying to assume the role of law enforcement.
Those darn vigilantes, bigots, etc.!!!!!
Yeah, it's those 'vigilantes' who are the problem, not the narco terrorist/drug runner illegal invaders draining this country dry.
Well....somebody’s gotta do it! It’s quite obvious the Feds aren’t interested in the rule of law. Arm the National Guard for Pete’s sake!
Release it in a timely manner and queer the immigration amnesty bill?
You jest!
Mexico is a violent, corrupt cesspool and frankly I don’t care if they kill each other all day, every day. My patience is up with them.
If it spills over to our border (actually, it already has) you’ll need to protect yourself because our backstabbing government won’t protect you. Arm yourself. We’re going to have to clean this mess up ourselves.
Just remember to lead your target...
