"When you're up against mounted machine guns, what can you do? Who wants to pull the trigger first? Certainly not us."

Uh, call in close air support?

I hear they've decommissioned most of the old Cobra gunships... Maybe the mothballs could be knocked out of several dozen of them?

"The government has our hands tied."

There's the understatement of the year!

Good grief! Isn't it time yet to deploy an Armored Cavalry Regiment?

I'm thinking, if it keeps up, that they just might deploy themselves. All soldiers are sworn to protect our borders, country, constitution and citizens. I wouldn't blame them.

Chief Deputy Mike Doyal, of the Hudspeth County Sheriff's Department: "It's been so bred into everyone not to start an international incident with Mexico that it's been going on for years. When you're up against mounted machine guns, what can you do? Who wants to pull the trigger first? Certainly not us."

Wuss.

Rush has had his wings clipped too. Hannity expresses outrage but can't bring himself to state the most obvious, that it's orders from the very top.

Yeah, freedom of press, my big fat butt. (ok, it's not that big, but damn). Piracy radio anyone? And they wonder why the 'blogosphere' is on top of things.

Chertoff may be incompetent but he is certainly a liar.

We're paying the Mexicans $60 million a year in aid to combat drug smuggling. We supply them with military hardware and they turn around and use it to smuggle drugs into the U.S. What does it take to get the attention of the government? They know what's going on and obviously agree with it. The White House is actively aiding a foriegn power to repeatedly invade our country and then issuing press release saying everything is ok, go back to sleep.

"Face" isn't exactly the right word, is it?

The MSM spin on this is; "men dressed as Mexican Army" or "men in Mexican Army uniforms"

I can't believe this BS! The United States has been invaded by the army of a foreign nation, not the first time either, and the press is covering it up? Crikey, I thought these guys wanted to sell newspapers! Where is William Randolph Hearst when you need him.

Well ... I plan to vote against both of Wyoming's incumbant Senators at each and every future opportunity as punishment because they have both told me they will be voiting for a guestworker shamnesty. If more people would start throwing the bastards out of office we might get some decent government. But most people here will keep voting for the same old Republicans and then expect something different to happen. It is a mistake to put partisan power over good government.

Not that they seem to mind the idea.

Re: " Either Chertoff is an incompetent moron or he is a liar. Any speculation?"

Yup;

Both.

He's demonstrated the former with the recent hurricaine debacle, and the latter by his covering for the Mexican invaders.

For that I think he is pushing the envelope of treason, FWIW.

He's no better than that flatulance inflated gasbag / stuffed suit bloviating clueless bureaucrat and his crayola crayon panic alarm chart that he replaced, IMHO.

Can we expect any better from this administration?

Cheer up; it's better than the system we'd have under Hanoi Kerry, we might suppose.

Chertoff isn't a fool. He's actually a VERY sharp guy.

My guess is he's taking his walking orders and talking orders from somebody above him - like Alberto or Carl or even George, or maybe all of them.

Too bad Poncho Villa wasn't born a century later. He would have had a cakewalk invading the U.S. with this useless bunch in Washington overseeing things.

Boy could we use Blackjack Pershing now. Or, better, Winfield Scott and Robert E. Lee.
