CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico Gunmen shot at a convoy carrying the governor of a violence-wracked border state, killing one of his bodyguards and wounding two other agents.
The federal Attorney General's Office said Monday it did not appear that Chihuahua Gov. Jose Reyes Baeza was the target of an assassination attempt. State investigators believe the shooting erupted over a traffic altercation between the bodyguards at the back of the convoy and armed men in two other cars, the office said in a statement. It did not provide further details.

...not appear...To be the target of an assasination...
Yep, again they must think we’re stupid...
Another example of how this is out of control, and spilling across into our country...
RIP.
Here is a recent photograph of the body guard and the Chihuahua governor.

Even if was not an assassination attempt, it’s not exactly a place where tourists should be, nor a place we should leave our border open to.
Sure are a lot of Chihuahua’s in there...

In regard to the violence along the border in Mexico, I’ve come across an interesting site:
I thought this was interesting:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jan/29/us-mexico-border-violence-security
‘Next month, the Woodrow Wilson Centre’s Mexico institute will recommend that both governments “establish joint or combined bi-national law enforcement units capable of quick response to cartel activity.”
To deal with issues of mistrust, one analyst suggested, the US government will need to allow Mexican federal law enforcement investigators on US soil, albeit in limited roles.
Armand Peschard-Sverdrup, a political consultant, predicted that “joint operations on both sides of the border will be a key decision made by the Obama and Calderon administrations in the months to come. Otherwise, joint operations will be unacceptable for the Mexicans”.
Mexican agents are already being quietly posted in key US agencies, he said. “We’re talking about a trans-national threat that doesn’t stop on the Mexican side,” he added.’

A few things I learned, possibly you already knew:
1. The Mexican military is subserviant to the police.
2. The Merida initative: Has not passed congress, but discusses giving 1.4 billion in equipment to Mexico.
3. between 17-30,000 ex-military join the cartels, yearly. (didn’t realize the numbers were that high)
4. There are over 320 different gangs in Juarez alone, contracted out by the Cartels.
Whew, I’m glad they said “bi-national” law enforcement and not “bi-sexual”...
That would have been weird...
All kidding aside...This is just another way to dilute culture, laws and both our soverienty...
Govern by crisis...Rule by subjugation...
lol, nice to get a laugh in these days. They can be far and few between.
Can you say “bling?” LOL
The situation in Mexico reminds me of a movie from years ago “Escape from New York”.
Where's Snake Pliskin when you need him.
I’ll have to watch that one. Haven’t seen it, but will remember that part.
Now, off to work on.... taxes. I wonder if not paying them is qualification for a promotion these days?
