| The Mexican press, believe it or not, is pretty good about writing about such a large arms seizure, so I have my doubts this is a recent seizure. Since there is little information other than pretty pics of cool weapons and some geographical information, this post goes to opinion. Update at 12:06:48: Rantburg's Mexico desk already covered this arms seizure. See here. |

| #4 I remember seeing these photos on Rantburg (and elsewhere) previously. That's still more than a battalion's worth of guns and ammo - far too much to be in the hands of someone like the Zetas. As a member of the retired military, I wouldn't object to pulling a week's duty guarding the border, as long as there were some decent RoE. Just give me a weapon, lots of ammo, and a clear field of fire (plus a little backup - I wouldn't want to be there all alone). As an old PI, I can guarantee we could find all the trails leading across the border, and recommend where to put a fire team to plug the biggest holes. Unfortunately, our government won't do anything until a few dozen citizens are slain all at once in a massacre. I don't think we'll have to wait much longer. |

| #1 Damn, that's a lot of ammo for a gang of assassins. Time for Obama to wake up on our border! |
