What we now face in Mexico (clearly one of the most unstable countries in the World today) is a convergence of asymmetric threats. The threats posed by the instability in Mexico are many. It is not only the flow of drugs to the U.S. It is not only the violence related to the cartel turf battles. And frankly, it is not only the inability of the Calderón government to exert any real control over the violence or stem the flow of illegal narcotics across the U.S. border that is troubling. What this means is a combined and ever blending threat and overlay of:
● Mexico's inability to quell the drug violence on its side of the border
● the parallel spill over of that violence to U.S. border cities
● the constant, but often unreported incursions of Mexican military and civilians into U.S. sovereign territory
● the very clear lack of a cohesive and viable border security plan from the U.S. government
● the inability of the U.S. to control illegal immigration across the Mexican border and the apparent forgetfulness that a portion of the illegal crossings are those of people described as "OTM" (other than Mexican)
● the dramatic and widening spread the upper and lower classes in Mexico
● the deepening unrest in places like Matamoros and Chiapas
● and finally, the reality that beyond Mexico's southern border lies greater danger and Islamic terrorist training camps. [snip]

We need the military on the border. Every inch of it; and they need to treat it as if Mexico were a hostile territory.
Jus sayin'....
A10s and armed predator drones.
The border is set to ignite and this administration is ignoring the situation. Within a year Mexico will be our single biggest national security threat.
So did the last administration. And the one before that, and the one before that...
I’d like to take a moment to mention those who helped bring this chaos to Mexico. While one would immediately assume I’m referring to the drug cartels who are actually doing the terrorizing down there I’d have to say you are wrong. There would be no terrorizing drug cartels if there were no drug users up here.
While I’m under no illusions that drug use up here transcends both major political party’s, I’d have to guess that most those buying cocaine, heroine, and marijuana would generally consider themselves “liberal”.
So from JD to you libs: WAY TO EVEN F*** UP MEXICO, YOU DOUCHES.
Ping!
Those claiming concern over violence to be their reason for wanting to legalize drugs would be far more effective and faster if they just said no to drugs.
The result of not using drugs is immediate while changing the laws takes years.
These are nearby:355th TFW at D-M
All they need is the order
I assume the situation will deteriorate even further.GW was ineffective(negligent)restricting the flow of illegals into the US.McCain Kennedy amnesty bill,santuary cities,American citizens facing prosecution for the “crime” of defending their property,etc,etc.I believe O and the dims are salivating over the prospect of anarchy in Mexico and the border states.It’s only going to intensify under the O admin.
But no one's told them to attack yet....YET.
These guys are on the border!
Where are these stationed?
Davis-Monthan AFB, Tucson, AZ.
355th TFW.
And we fly UAVs from right here at Ft. Huachuca, 70 miles closer to the border.
You don’t even need that, just put some very comfortable deer stands at regular intervals and put some of us old dudes who still have good eyes in them with an old Garand and plenty of ammo, some coffee and doughnuts.
Good to go. The Garand provided the original “ping” long before this internet was dreamed up. In Obama’s America you guys are supposed to be feeling sorry for yourselves in Retirement Communities while chewing up tax dollars - not feeling so much love for your nation as to lay down your last for it.
He jus don’t git that. Go figure.
BTT!
Ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
We’re already flying Predators along the border, they’re just not armed.
