Why do you think Obama is creating the situation for them to be deployed in the first place?

Obama didn't create the situation!
Exasperate and exacerbate: yes; create: no.
This went on during Bush, and during Clinton [IIRC]… and I would be surprised if it wasn't going on w/ Bush Sr.

Why had Obama been running weapons to the cartels through Fast and Furious?

IMO: PR, motivating pressure to clamp down on firearms, etc.

Why has there been no accurate reporting on fire fights and sniping along the border from the Mexican side?

That one I'm not sure.
One would think that being shot at would qualify as exciting news.

Why does the MSM or the Mecican media NOT report what is truly taking place along the border as it is reported here, and has been for over 7 years, getting worse?

Oh, it's been going on longer than 7 years.

Once you know what the TNG “observers” will face, you then have a genuine idea of what will happen. And the so called observers already know exactly what will happen.

You, sir, are obtuse.
Have you been in the military?
Do you know the sorts of politics therein?
Do you know about observer role missions?
Do you know about observer role missions with the National Guard?

What we are seeing in TX is political theater — the inclusion of loaded firearms introduces a huge liability in uncontrolled variables. Any shooting, once it gets out, is likely to spark a lot of public interest, that interest will blow the cover off this as a PR stunt. — It is therefore far, far better for the political elite if the NG is given the appearance of being armed. In fact we have confirmation of this from that general's own mouth:

Nichols said troops will be armed for their safety, but when asked if their weapons would be loaded would say only that ammunition would be in magazines.

"That's about as far as I want to go because if the cartel folks understand what we can and can't do then they may take advantage of that," Nichols told The Associated Press.
I know you aren't reading between the lines, but here's the reality: the ammo will be in magazines, but the magazines will not be issued to the soldiers (or easily accessible) OR if they are issued thereunto they will come with a ROE that effectively prevents engagement. How can I tell you this? Simple: That's about as far as I want to go because if the cartel folks understand what we can and can't do then they may take advantage of that — there's nothing that the cartels could take advantage of if it was just ammunition in magazines because that's what happens in an actual fight.

Secondly, personal experience: I was in the National Guard for nine years; I went to Iraq and did detainee ops, there I had clear directions and, essentially, if they weren't breaching the outer gate lethal force wasn't an option. (And that was literally a war zone.)


Again, what evidence do you have that this is going to be a gunfight?
All my experience tells me that this is a political stunt, and that observation means for display purposes only.

Obama didn’t create the situation!>>>>>>>>>>>>

He started creating the situation from the very first few months of his first term, by tweaking the arms flow to the cartels under Fast and Furious, including Barrett .50 caliber sniper rifles. Its right out of the Saul Alinsky playbook, Rules for Radicals.

The fruition was Obama’s executive order allowing entry of non Mexican “children.” It purposefully drew tens of thousands of minors, creating a refugee situation at the border, now being used by criminals as cover, according to plan.This is because Congress refused to pass Obama’s “Dream Act” unamended.Therefor Obama’s policy is to punish America, expecially the red states, and then blame Congress for that punishment. Therefore Obama is impeachable, and if Conservatives gain control of the Senate this November, you can say goodbye to Obama early in 2015.

In totality, Obamas policy and his conduct has been to create instability and to punish his political enemies in both Arizona and Texas. This is demographic warfare about to become very much conventional warfare. Obama wants this to happen so he can declare martial law in every red state he can.

Everything Obama does is dedicated to creating social instability under a thin mask of plausible deniability, which almost everyone excepts. The fact is that Obama is not acting in good faith at all. That fact is dawning now on most of America.
