Is Big Sis still talking about a border tour of how safe and under control all be at her border ?

[ColdOne]

Though Mexico is seeing record rates of violence from warring drug cartels and a crackdown on organized crime, it is rare for U.S. officials to be attacked. But the U.S. government has increasingly become concerned about the safety of its employees in Mexico amid the escalating violence. I guess ap did not get the memo from big sis. I hope the 2 ICE agents are alive. for anyone who does not think it is dangerous at the border go to John and Ken kfi640am.com they have photos of the carnage.

Do any of you think Obama with blast Mexico ? If this happen to Mexican ICE president of Mexico would be on every news station he can get on blasting Americans as being trigger happy and dangerous.

Good I read one had to be airlifted. Prayers for sure. Now waiting for big sis’s comments. Yet it is late in the day i am sure she is way into the party mode by now. So maybe she may say something tomorrow. any bets?

[ColdOne]

Of course they would. It would be all the news of the day for at least a week. Then they would put the ones who shot the Mexican agent in prison.

Back in the mid-90's, I worked with a guy at the Pentagon who got fed up with the internal B.S. and became a Border Patrol agent. Every time I see one of these articles, I wonder if it was him that took one.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

"Two US immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were shot to death in Mexico while driving between Mexico City and the northern city of Monterrey."

"Our" government will just sit on its ass and do nothing. It's time to destroy the Mexico hellhole.

US Embassy: Two ICE agents shot in Mexico
http://m3report.wordpress.com/

[snip]MEXICO CITY — The killing of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent and wounding of another in Mexico highlights the risk for American officials helping fight Mexico’s bloody drug war under increasing cooperation between the two countries.

Special Agent Jaime Zapata, on assignment to the ICE Attache in Mexico City from his post in Laredo, Texas, died Tuesday when gunmen attacked the agents’ blue Suburban vehicle as they drove through the northern state of San Luis Potosi.

The second agent, who wasn’t identified, was shot in the arm and leg and was in stable condition, according to statements from the Department of Homeland Security.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said the fatal attack on American law enforcement, the highest-profile since the 1985 torture and killing of DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, won’t change the U.S. commitment to supporting Mexico in its crackdown on organized crime.
