SUSPECTED drug cartel "hit teams" have murdered an American consular employee and her husband in a Mexican border city and killed the husband of another consular official in two separate attacks.

The victims came under fire in separate locations while driving in the northern border city of Ciudad Juarez on Saturday...

"The attacks resulted in three fatalities - two American citizens and one Mexican citizen,"

After the slayings, the State Department announced that US diplomats working in consulates along Mexico's northern border had been authorised to send family members home because of security concerns.

Obama just apologized to Mexico and asked them what we can do to be better liked by them...

Where is Captain Crew Cut when you need her? Crying about SPLC-reported Gadsen flag-waving 60-year olds or about 200,000 Latino gang members who

Remember how we kissed the ass of the Mexican when we accidentally went onto their lands, apologies galore, th3e AP whimpered as some fence worker ate his lunch in foreign terriory.

Where is Plugs, Okenyan, Crew Cut, Holder-the-Terror-Defender?

The drug related violence pandemic that has been occurring in Mexico for the last two years is criminally under-reported. The number of people killed in drug-related violence is around 18,000, dwarfing the number killed in Iraq and Afghanistan combined the last several years.

Is this what it takes to finally get This administration’s attention? It’s a war but our side doesn’t seem to have shown up yet.

Killing diplomats is an act of war. I’m sure Zer0 will respond forcefully and appropriately. *snort*

Los Zetas en mexico has been killing in Arizona and Texas for the number of years. Phoenix is the murder capital of the US, beating out wonderlands as DC, Detriot and chitown.

Time to bring back the Ranger Special Forces (as in Texas Rangers)

I’m really getting sick of having to read about American news events in the foreign press.

The US Government cares more about the Mexican Murderers than American Citizens.

Wow. The big Zero seems to have gotten his game plan from his predecessor.

I think at some point each state will have to secede from the Union and protect itself from third world savages. Neither political party nor the govt seems interested in it.

...AND news media and Federal Government are SIILENT. This was published — in the AUSTRALIAN?! Our nation should give this ultimatum to Mexico: (1) Capture and turn over the perps and planners of these assassinations within one week (2) secure your NORTHERN border from all drug traffickers, or your government will be held responsible for ANY actions they take (3) failure to do these things in a timely manner will be considered an invitation for the United States military to launch an expeditionary force into northern Mexico to SECURE the borders. Of course, this would not BE an issue if our own Government did their Constitutional duty to secure our borders in the first place.

I'm afraid that this is the Bush legacy although I don't expect Obama to do anything to improve the situation.

I don't know if there is even a savior on the horizon in our political future.

I’m not so old (60 next year), still have a handful of years left on my mortgage, and I have no kids. Count me in!

Sure seems that way.
