Oh that's nice.. take the SW by either squating or force?

"The Mexican Navy announced yesterday that it has bought from Israel two fully operational Aliya class speed boats capable of launching 5 Gabriel missile each."

What's next, French EXOCETS on the border?

[Scenic Sounds]

Captain Arturo Flores Gil said that the highly sophisticated weapons are needed to protect the 360 PEMEX oil rigs in the waters off Campeche.

This is partly true, but mostly just a cover story. The more important reason is that, within a few years, Mexico foresees the need to protect its borders from Americans sneaking across to work in their factories.

The best way to keep America a sovereign free nation is to keep the Democrats out of power!

[DoughtyOne]

It used to be that you had to eat Mexican food to get Montezuma's Revenge. Any more all someone has to do is mention the name Mexico and I feel like taking a great big...

[ambrose]

The Mexican Navy? This is a joke, right?

[Tacis]

That's not the true story. The real story is that the really powerful Mexican drigs lords want to expand their delivery service where the Mexican army will deliver any quantity to any point in the US. The Mexicans greatest fear is that someday, President Bush will ask the United Nations to provide troops to defend our border. The UN will do so much better than Bush has done that Presidente Fox is anticipating.

With the missle ships, Fox and his drug lord employers will be able to safeguard ocean deliveries of Mexican dope and Cuban/Saudi terrorists all up and down the coast without fear of the UN and its power.

I sure do hope Pres Fox doesn't plan on using them against us...cause there's just too much excellent shoreline in Mexico SCREAMING to be redeveloped into some PRIME U.S. RESORT LAND, and we're JUST the guys to do it!

I don't consider Mexico a military threat necessarilly but neither did I feel the same about Castro in Cuba at the time. If we are seeing nuclear capable missiles in Mexico we may be seeing a similar arrangement of something that could escalate into a similiar event we watched develop in Cuba in 1963. What would prevent China or North Korea providing even more sophisticated equipment to El Presidente to toy around with. Every day brings new challenges in this hemisphere and the Monroe Doctrine has been challenged once again; what are we to do now?

[varon]

.............two naval missile launchers and 10 missiles. Each missile is capable of being outfitted with nuclear warheads.

This can be viewed as a greater threat than was Iraq and call for immediate preemptive strike !

[TheBattman]

And Mexico's big enemy is????

[Kirkwood]

Mexico - the 51st state. Illegal immigration problem solved!

Maybe I shouldn't joke. Some dim may think this is a good idea.

[tracer]

With friends like these, who needs enemas??

Today begins an ongoing thread to add your links, important news,legislative happenings etc. all regarding the protection of our borders. There are now so many articles and news stories that it is good to have one place to view it all.
I will start off this thread with saying I believe we all need to contact our state representatives and those is our party who need to know this is not a one-horse issue that will go away.I have stated that all it takes is one issue to start a domino effect and the entire administration could fall apart. None of us wants that to happen. We also need to contact the media and make sure the democratic spin on this is not for political advantage. This issue is closely correlated with the War On Terror for terrorist's are using our open border's against us the same way they used commercial flights to attack us on 911.

IMO Mexico should not spend on army weapons for the simple reason that they have no enemy who would want to invade them. It shoudl disband it's military and build up it's police force.
