But you know that will never happen. Too insensitive to our neighbors to the south.

The deployment will last one to two years, Horton said.

This a devastating piece of this that is going unnoticed. These men have families, jobs, homes, etc. in their hometown area. One to two years is extremely lengthy for a conus activation.

[Cachelot]

Well it looks like these abrams won't being going to Iraq.

How about going to the Mexican border?

[exnavy]

If those tanks are headed for the Mexican border it might be OK, anything else and this administration is in deep doo-doo

Luxembourg is next to go And, who knows, maybe Monaco. We'll try to stay serene and calm When Alabama gets the bomb! Who's next, who's next, who's next? Who's next?

Tom Leher?

Actually, this might have something to do with the November elections. Perhaps Siegleman is down in the polls and just wants to make sure that no voting irregularities occur on election day-such as his being voted out of office!

Invading and conquering Massachussetts might not be a bad idea.

Sir, the underground stands ready to assist the invasion. May I suggest Cambridge and Harvard University as potential first strike targets?

Seems to me the duration of the deployment to Bosnia was to have been limited, too.

Alabama invades California, defeats illegal immigrant army and leftist collaborators?

Maybe “Alabama invades California to protect illegal immigrant army and leftist collaborators from angry Californians.”

FEMA and now this. Have they spotted an asteroid or something?....hmmmm

[ppaul]

Anyone seen this one? Kinda worrisome...

[ppaul]

BUMP

[Lazamataz]

We're all gonna die!

No, no, NO!

It's like this:

We're all gonna die!!!!

[Destructor]

"Anyone seen this one? Kinda worrisome..."

Not really. There are National Guardsmen from the 49th Armored Division here in Texas that were activated. The Texas Guardsmen are sitting over in Guantanimo Bay, Cuba guarding the Taliban prisoners. The soldiers from the 49th replaced the Marines that were guarding the prisoners to free the Marines for other missions.

Now, positioning them in fighting positions along the Mexican border to pop "Coyotes" transporting illegals...doesn't sound too bad to me!

[Redleg Duke]

Oh, the libertarians are just in a fluff this morning. The tinfoil must have shrunk over night.

[MichaelP]

was not linked to Bush's quest for use of U.S. military forces on the home front.

Bound for Iraq, no doubt. Men and material have been flowing to the area, in small units, for many months. Expect Saddam's obituary sooner rather than later...

I didn'nt think that was the case, but you can never be entirely sure with the National Guard. In the late 80s I served for a while in the Kentucky Guard, and saw things going on that made me shake my prior service head in disgust. After returning to active duty, I saw the Louisiana Guard unit (151st Infantry?) go AWOL from Ft. Hood during Desert Shield, and the Georgia Guard's 48th Infantry have to be rotated back through NTC 'cause they couldn't pass after the first two months of train-up.

But my biggest confusion with the article was caused by the fact that I am a hopeless moron who shot his mouth off before reading the post thoroughly. Again, I blame the Kentucky public education system. Be good.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Nah, M1A1's are much too expensive to run for crowd control - surely they would use the aging M-60's for this work ; )

Howdy

Good un, and I agree, there is an awful lot of pent up frustration over this issue. Lefties and righties both have vested interests in coddling immigration scofflaws and John and Jane Q Public are awfully tired of seeing fellow citizens robbed, raped, infected with TB, not being able to find medical services within a day trip of the border with Mexico, and paying out billions in social services to provide for millions of people here who dont give a whit about this great nation.

The Republican party is really the problem here, paying out billions to give aid and comfort to la raisa as they openly seek to invade, conquer, and annex the southeast United States is exactly what you'd expect from the hateful deviant minds of the left. My party, the Party of Principle, is selling us out to these America hating barbarians for cheap labor and a share of the fraudulent votes of illegals.

This angers me, and I suspect, a whole bunch of my fellow citizens. A majority of Mexicans believe that the southeast is Mexican territory. Pandering to these hostile aliens for political gain is an absolute disgrace because it can only end in injury and death to the American citizens our politicians swear an oath to protect and defend.

If Washington is so self serving that nothing can be done to stem the tide maybe its time We The People did it for ourselves.
