I'm reading in the paper that two police chiefs in Northern Mexico were just killed.

Mexican police admitted that a recent drug raid was staged. They defended this as actually a "reenactment" of what actually had happened, and just wanted the public to experience it.

Meanwhile Fox is saying the govt. is in control.

Regarding the police chiefs, sounds like they were killed due to inter-cartel fighting, rather than criminals vs. police. Meaning that they police are largely indistinguishable from the criminals.

Three police officers in Dallas shot while doing a raid on Mexican trafficers of meth. Largely Mexican nationals.

True democracy is such a rare thing. That is why those forces that weaken it piss me off. Like narco states. Like a president with apparent disregard for the law who chooses to act like a monarch.

Scary thing is that the cartels are targeting journalists in Mexico.

Also, meth is being brought in from Mexico as America has cut off the supplies used to make meth (homebrew method)....

I am wondering why a big frickin' wall between us and Mexico is such a bad idea....

15 years. I feel much more sympathy for them than the journalists...
Mexico, esp. the bordertowns, is the wild west right now - being sheriff just means you have a target on your back.

The drug cartels in Mexico are actually paying off Mexican military, who are escorting drug runners into the U.S. There have been quite a number of standoffs between U.S. law and border enforcement, and Mexican military-led drug runners. I heard a border agent tell of an experience he had involving a Mexican military Hummer with a 50 caliber machine gun trained on the U.S. officer. This was on U.S. soil.

article said that Mexican troops don't use hummers or .50cal.

In other words, they were drug runners dressed as troops.

I wonder when our government will get some guts and put our National Guard at the 1,800+ mile border we share with Mexico.

Most of the illegal drugs, and the weapons,,,i.e. Nuclear capable, biological and chemical that will inevitably be used on American soil are being and have been smuggled through the Mexican border.

The major Gangs here in the U.S. have formed alliances with terrorist organizationsl ike Al Qaeda and several others to smuggle in drugs, weapons of all kinds and operatives.

We have illegals pouring over the border like the country sprung a leak,,,but all in the name of political correctness and not making Vicente Fox mad and other "rights activists", and illegal alien apologists, we don't have any real border protection.

In my opinion, poor border protection or virtually no border protection now constitutes the biggest threat to our National Security, but again, very little is being done in that regard.

It's too bad that the calls for change will only occur AFTER a major and well planned/coordinated Nuclear terrorist attack occurs on American soil will people be screaming for that....by then it will be too late.
