#2 It is in light of this sort of development that "Posse Comitatus" rules need to be revised. If a foreign mercenary army is effectively fighting on US soil, then the US military's gloves should come off. A few Apache attack helicopters should accelerate the Zetas early retirements.

Hat-tip to Charles Darwin, who wrote: "It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change."

#3 I think this is a situation that Delta Force was designed to handle since this is an attack on us from another nation. Regarding the "Posse Comitatus" act you will find it doesn't apply to the USMC or the Navy I believe.

#4 Actually, SPOD, the Navy and Marine Corps are included not within the Act itself (which mentions only the Army and Air Force by name, AFAIK) but by DOD regulation.

But this is real bad ...

#5 further legal loopholes...while the Navy and USMC are included in PC, only those who employ the Army [or its off shoot the Air Force] are subject to penalties. Someone will have to get a court injunction to halt the use of the Navy/USMC, and then act upon the failure to comply with the court order rather than the actual punitive section of PC.

#7 Congress needs to repeal it's ban on the Admin releasing a fungus and virus that would kill all cocaine.
It's essentially an EPA ruling as stupid as the no freon in Shuttle tank foam one.

Lots of species become extinct. What's wrong with coca plants doing so? It would deprive these hoods of most of their money.
