Have they all lost their minds? Of course they were targeted.
I would do a lot more than just send FBI help. I would say “Killing our consulate people is an act of war!” and if the Mexican govt. wasn’t in a position to help, send in the SEALs.
Funny they don't react this way when ordinary American citizens are killed on their own streets by Mexican illegal aliens.
More “outrage” from the Commander in Thief?
Oops.. better be careful what I say, or it might be lese majeste.
But...it’s racism to protect our borders...I would hate to see Europe protesting and calling us names again../s
Okay, here’s a HUGE problem I have with this. I am tired of the false and logically unsound argument that “US gun laws are arming the cartels.”
You can’t buy RPGs at a gun store. You can’t buy a full-auto AK-47 with an under-mounted grenade launcher from a gun show.
And more to the point, how come nobody has connected the dots and pointed out that MEXICO’s restrictive gun laws prevent citizens from defending themselves? This is ridiculous. President Calderon seems to be a good guy and much less corrupt than Fox and Zedillo, but he has a HUGE mess to deal with. An unarmed citizenry is one of the problems.
The press and the government are quick to characterize the assailants as members of Mexican drug cartels, or gangs.
What if the victims were targeted because they represent what the United States stands for and once the deed was done, the assailants exchanged their sombreros for turbans?
Yep, what if this was an act of (this word is officially banned by the Obama administration) terrorism conducted by agents of Al Queda?
If these Mexican gangsters don’t shape up pretty soon President O’Bow-Mao might just not give them their amnesty. In fact if he really gets mad he might even give them the bird! And then gobble down another booger when no one’s looking!!
This should be the lead story on all news outlets.
We were warned!
As if the murder of our government representatives last weekend in Mexico wasn’t enough.
Congressman Warns Mexico More Dangerous than Iraq, Could Become Failed State
Wednesday, March 25, 2009
[snips]At a House of Representatives hearing on federal law enforcement’s response to the violence along the border between the United States and Mexico, Rep. John Culberson (R-Texas) said there is more danger in that region than in the Middle East.
“Mexico is more dangerous than Iraq,” Culberson said. “There were more deaths in Mexico than there were in Iraq.”
The per capita rate of civilian killings in the Mexican border city in 2008 was nearly three-and-a-half times (3.4) as great as the per capita rate of civilian killings in the Iraqi province of Baghdad
That means people are at greater risk in Juarez than in Baghdad province.
In fact, CNSNews.com has calculated that approximately 113 per 100,000 people were killed by violence in Juarez, while in Baghdad about 33 per 100,000 civilians shared the same fate.
“Yet the testimony that this committee’s received, that we have on Homeland Security – many members of this committee are also on the Homeland Security Committee – the U.S. military has ranked the Mexican government, the Pakistani government and the Afghan government as the three most unstable, potentially likely to collapse governments in the world,” Culberson said.
“The level of violence we’re seeing in Mexico certainly has to be qualified essentially as a civil war,” he said. “The level of violence is unprecedented.”
Culberson also questioned the Drug Enforcement Agency’s (DEA) definition of “spillover,” as when drug cartels or gangs target Americans or American assets.
“In Houston, Texas, in broad daylight, we had a machine-gun fight at one of the biggest intersections in southwest Houston,” Culberson said. “A machine-gun battle between two human smugglers. They’re trying to kill each other. That’s not counted as spillover because they are shooting at each other and it’s not a deliberate attack on U.S. civilians.”
“Those bullets weren’t hitting each other, those bullets were flying everywhere,” Culberson said.
