"Pemex's fundamental installations are adequately protected by our armed forces, and we will do our utmost to find those responsible?"

Obviously not...

Let’s roll. Kick out the corrupt leader.....stop the infiltration of terrorists into the US who kill thousands each year. Secure the oil in the name of National Interests...and set up a Democracy.

Shades of Iraq.

Seems like he’s saying the main pumping stations or refineries are okay, while damage was limited to pipelines.

At least I hope that’s the case.

Just to nit-pickily(?) point out: Calderon doesn’t seem all that corrupt.

Oil lines attacked, trucks blowing up — seems like terrorism has come to our friends south of the border. Could it be all those Mexicans who converted to Islam? You know, the Mexlims. Or Musicans, if you will. There are many of them.

Comparted to what?

President Felipe Calderon blasted U.S. immigration policies on Sunday and promised to fight harder to protect the rights of Mexicans in the U.S., saying “Mexico does not end at its borders. “I have said that Mexico does not stop at its border, that wherever there is a Mexican, there is Mexico,” he said”

Calderon is a good man. He is no Salinas or Echevarria.

Of course, the only bad things people on this site can say about President Calderon is that he "supports the illegals" through rhetoric. In reality, he is focused on reforming the tax system and Mexico's protectionist/cartelist economic system, more so than spending his days and nights obsessing about the "evil gabachos."

See my post #13. All the Calderon critics on this site can muster is a speech or two where he mentioned the illegal immigration issue. Its a minor issue to him, and, judging by his past history, he is a good man who is fighting an uphill battle against the economic cartels and one of the most byzantine tax systems in the world. Like most smart people, he doesn’t obsess over the immigration issue, and is instead focusing on reforming his nation. Unfortunatly, congress is against him, so he will be as effective as Jerry Ford was in our nation.

You are right. Calderon, as president and in his former political positions, has been squeaky clean. I will probably get flamed for this, but Fox was not corrupt, either, although many on this forum with little grasp of Mexican history believed he was corrupt because of his immigration policies. There is a difference. You might not like his advocacy of open borders for the U.S., but that does not make him, or Calderon, a corrupt thief. Neither man is, and I would like someone to show me one shard of proof from a non-biased source that they are. Before Fox, the only one who WASN’T corrupt, and who did not retire a multimillionaire on money stolen from the Mexican people, was Miguel de la Madrid, who, like Fox, retired from office poorer than when he went in. PAN administrations have been, for most part, an entirely different regime from the notoriously corrupt and thieving PRI. Unfortunately, much of Mexico still runs that way on the local level. Anyone who knows anything about Mexican politics is hoping and praying that PAN will take over more and more of the state houses and local governments. This is much more likely to happen in the north and central areas of Mexico than in the South.
