Either Chertoff is an incompetent moron or he is a liar. Any speculation?
BTTT
My guess is he's a liar. He's putting forth the party line that Bush wants out there. If the country got wind of some of what was really happening, we'd be screaming even more loudly for some form of border security.
Chertoff is a liar.
The liberals and libertarians would have been outraged if any on the marijuana smugglers had suffered any harm.
It is getting really frustrating that the Presdient ignores this issue.
I lived in Alpine for several years and worked on a drug task force and it gets harry along remote stretches of the river. We would just sit there and watch at times from hilltops and wait until the load moved away from the river and stop it.
I felt bad for my comrades in the BP since they were down there all the time and for the most part in 1 or 2 man units only tied to back-up via radio that in those cayon isn't exactyl reliable.
"It is getting really frustrating that the Presdient ignores this issue."
All due respect Mr President, you ignore this at your party's peril. 2008 aint that far away.
Chertoff is just George W. Bush's willing stooge.
To try and place the blame anywhere else is willful denial.
"blaming bad navigation"
Bad navigation my ass! There is damn river there and the rest of the border has a fence except where the illegals have cut it down.
November 2006 is really close
The Border Patrol should be equipped with satellite phones. It is shameful that they are not.
They should be one phone call and 15 minutes away from support by an Apache gunship equipped with hellfire missiles. If we turned a few of these Mexican Humvees into burning slag piles surrounded by dead Mexican soldiers this practice would rapidly stop.
Neither. He's doing exactly what his boss tells him to do. Which is nothing.
Time to lock and load!
The problem is the President does not ignore this...He orders the Sheriffs and Border Patrol to ignore it and he cites civilian Americans who are trying to stop the flow of drugs and illegals as Vigilantes...
Like George says, if yer not against them, you are for 'em...
Who would they call???
And why do Mexicans drive American HumVees???
Well those words DID come out of his mouth. He undoubtedly spoke them in his official capacity as an employee of the President. But nevertheless, they mark him as either incompetent or dishonest. Perhaps he is totally unaware of these incursions or does not understand their significance. If that is the case then he is incompetent. About the only other possibility is that his words were deliberately designed to deceive the public in which case he is a liar and I don't care if he lied on his own behalf or on the behalf of the President.
I suspect the latter. I think he is a lying sack of sh$t!

50 miles from Ft. Bliss, Texas? Time to deploy the 3dACR?
Good grief! Isn't it time yet to deploy an Armored Cavalry Regiment?
