It was big locally, but the story didn't go national. With so many out to get Bush, if it happened again the story will go national and it will all be Bush's fault.. Or do you think Tancredo pick up the tab on it?
Do I think the opposition would make hay of such an incident - of course they would. Now should we stop the defense of this nation because an 18 year might get killed. Well guess what, if we don't stop it many Ameicans of all ages will get killed. Did you notice the part of smuggling in ME men.
There are plenty of reasons to put the military on the border and I can't think of one not to do it. That 'goat herd' could have just as easily have been killed by a Border Patrol - should we then stop the BP, of course not. Tell the family of the park ranger who was killed, tell the family of the deputy in California who was murdered, tell the family of the nun in Oregon who was murder, tell that to the families of the people killed by the 'railroad killer', we could go on and on. Those are just a few - there must be hundreds or thousands of Americans who have been killed because we have done nothing.
Has the police department of any city ever killed anyone accidentally - did we disband the police department. Will we stop the Iraqi war when we kill one innocent. This just makes no sense.
You know if we take the actions necessary now - many innocents will be saved. Did you think that 'goat herd' might not have been killed had we kept the border safe early on and not let it get in the condition it is. It will be safe for everyone - goat herders, included.
If something is the right thing to do - then dad gummit do it!!! Don't sit around and wait for something you are sure the Democrats, media and Mexican government are going to love, or that will safe for your politican career.
