Excerpts:

MEXICO CITY –– After weeks of working for a compromise solution in the U.N. Security Council, Mexican President Vicente Fox said Thursday he is against the war in Iraq and deeply regretted any loss of life.

Fox was careful to avoid offending Mexican voters who overwhelmingly oppose a war — and antagonizing the United States, which accounts for about 75 percent of Mexico's trade and is home to millions of Mexican migrants.

"Mexicans who live in the United States feel proud of your firm and brave position in the United Nations regarding war," said Lydia Hernandez, an adviser to the Institute of Mexicans Living Abroad. "We know that it is a difficult decision, but we want to say that we are with you."

Funny they're so in favor of the Mexican government's position-----but why won't they go back and live there? We don't need them.

[Maynerd]

Muck Fexico.

[cynicom]

How would this pimp like a good war in his backyard???? I think we would enjoy it. We could send a troop of boyscouts to dust them up.

[Libertarianize the GOP]

bump

[sinkspur]

If they can't support us, why in hell not just shut up?

At this point, nobody cares what Vicente Fox thinks. He'll not get any visits to any Mexican tourist sites from me for a very long time.

[Far Right Of Left]

Then who would cut my lawn?

[Enemy Of The State]

Thats funny, Im against his damn citizens crossing over our borders illegally and placing an undue burden on the taxpayers of this country. Recent reports state that our borders will be less patrolled in the coming weeks due to patrol officers being sent to various port areas...however Mr. Fox, dont think that this is an opportunity for your countrymen to slide over our borders because our own CIVILIANS will be patrolling our borders and they will be armed and I guarantee you that they will not be as nice as the ones working for Uncle Sam!

"Mexicans who live in the United States"

Also known as Illegal Immigrants.

Get the hell out of my country.

[Enemy Of The State]

I personally think we should place guard towers along the border and implement a new illegal immigration policy....ONE SHOT, ONE KILL!

[cav68]

Send him a Taco and a small message from our troops, SHUTUP NO BODY CARES WHAT YOU THINK

[BeerSwillr]

I think I'll have a t-shirt made with that saying on it.

[janetgreen]

Canned statement from Mexico's failed "leader". I hope Bush dumps him, and sends several million illegals home where they belong.

Keep talking .... average americans are starting to listen. You are going to be paying for your words for a long time.

[Natural Law]

That makes it unanimous. No tin pot leader is comfortable with the of exercised US sovereignty and the concept of regime change.

[doug from upland]

Take all your illegal citizens back and support them in your stinking country, jerkface.

[Prince Charles]

Kick Mexico out of NAFTA, and let the U.K. take their place.

[rintense]

Screw you, Fox.

[Beck_isright]

Go suck a burrito you b*st*rd social security theiving bunch of low life sore losers (We won in 1848, remember that you scum!!!!!!!).

[Protagoras]

At this point, nobody cares what Vicente Fox thinks. He'll not get any visits to any Mexican tourist sites from me for a very long time.

One positive thing about this whole thing is that we have found out what cards everyone was holding. Now we can act accordingly.
