| 2006-02-07 |
Heavily armed gunmen blasted their way into the offices of a newspaper on Mexico's drug-plagued border with the United States on Monday [6 Feb 2006], tossing a grenade at journalists and gravely wounding a reporter...Night shift reporter Jaime Orozco was fighting for his life with five bullet wounds and others were injured by flying glass and debris..Journalists covering drug-related violence on Mexico's northern border are constantly threatened and attacked. Asked whether his newspaper had received death threats prior to the attack, Rosas said: "Not recently." |

| #5 Two things MUST be done before we can ever even think of doing what you suggest, CU1758: we have to defang the ACLU, and we have to beat the crap out of a lot of jerks in Washington, DC (either through the ballot box, or through axehandles - either works, but the axehandles work faster). The reason the border isn't more secure is that a bunch of fat cats and drug lords believe it's better to keep it open, and have bought enough US congresscritters and "public servants" to keep true immigration reform from happening. Until those are removed or rendered harmless, nothing is going to be accomplished. When the American people get up on their hind legs and start demanding something be done, and start really HURTING those that keep things from being done, either economically or physically, nothing is going to change. A boycott of everything Massachusetts-related would be an excellent start. |

| #2 1 - Let the narco-terrorist continue to hammer the local community. 2 - Await the right incident justifying the need to deploy troops across the border being welcomed by the locals who understand that Mexico City doesn't give a rat's a$$ about their lives. 3 - Fully employ combat experience troops, who know how to hammer such an insurgency [on the job trading now ongoing] and win the hearts and minds of the locals. I think we have a lot more 'linguists' to handle the local dialect. 4 - Tell Mexico City that if they won't or can't get the border under control, we will, under our jurisdiction. Remember the Apache. When MC failed to address the situation, we did, in Mexico. We'll have something they'll want then. ThatÂ’s when you negotiate. "Pretty Please" doesn't work. |
