#1 Hmmmm ... is Mexico trying to revisit the "Malvinas sceanrio"? By consistent omission of ranks and duty assignments, I have to asume these are SAS/SBS blokes. Maybe the were looking for a backdoor into Waziristan????

'About time for another earthquake in Mexico City, to take Fox's mind off trivial matters.

#2 Naw. They're just checking them for additional passports, to make sure they're not paleo-phibians...

#3 I don't know about that Lone Ranger...I saw the news pics of these guys and they don't look like special forces killing machines to me. They look like bums to me. They were very rude to the Mexicans. They refused help from the local authorities. That's pretty stupid.

#4 Mexico is very strict on visa requirements when it behooves them. They have a strict handling and deportation program for Central and South Americans trying to transit their country to the U.S. - yet they provide food, water to those coming across our border. Fox needs to clean up his country and I can think of no better way to force that than by positioning our military on the border - F*&k their "sensitivities"!

#5 Amen, Frank. This is so obviously insane that I await further developments... there's gotta be something more, right? I mean Fox isn't this moronic, is he? *lol!*

#7 I live very near to an extensive Karst feature in N. Florida (Wakulla) and every cave diver I've met is smart, decent, careful, educated and has a death wish.

#8 EVERY cave diver I know is a bit more "off" than I am, and for a paramedic, who works high speed auto races inches from the track side that should say SOMETHING about the folks who have that afliction.

and CLEARLY Vincente has demonstrated a saddly deficient sense of humor.
