abc news ^

Posted on 10/10/2010 6:36:14 AM PDT by roses of sharon

Mexican officials have reportedly identified two men they say are suspects in a pirate attack nine days ago on a Texas couple Jet Skiing on a border lake in which the husband was killed.

Mexican officials have not released photographs of the two men, but identified them as Pedro Saldiva Farrias, 27, and his brother, Jose Manuel Saldiva Farrias, Juan Carlos Ballesteros, an investigator with the attorney general's office of the Mexican state of Tamaulpas told ABC affiliate KRGV-TV in McAllen, Texas.

Both were said to be suspected members of the Zeta drug cartel from Nueva Ciudad Guerrero, near the abandoned town where David and Tiffany Hartley were sightseeing before they were ambushed, according to Ballesteros.

You really want to do that and have the inevitable,costly rebuilding that we always seem to engage in? Build the wall,isolate them and let them tear one another to shreds.

I find it odd how the Mexican authorities coughed up names so quickly. Something ain’t right.

“Build the wall,isolate them and let them tear one another to shreds.”

If we don’t deal with this, harsh and fast, it will be more of us that are being torn to shreds.

Either we continue to pander and babysit Mexico, or we protect ourselves. Time to choose!

“Round up the usual suspects.”

My take: Wife’s story is bogus.

How does pandering and babysitting enter into what i said? I’d appreciate you not putting words in my mouth. Why ignore my initial thought about the inevitable expensive rebuilding that would follow any sort of military action?
I in no way wish to spend any more of our wealth,what little is left of it,in rebuilding Mexico. Build the wall and be damn serious in enforcing it.

It doesn't and "AuntB" didn't "put words in your mouth".

I took her statement as a separate remark intended to convey HER feeling on the subject.

Don't be so touchy.

“My take: Wife’s story is bogus.”

Are you kidding me??? AFTER ALL the evidence? You’ve joined quite a group.....the ‘it’s never Mexico’s fault’ club! They are the ONLY ones who blamed the wife!

You rarely make a comment, but needed to chime in to push this woman’s guilt?? It’s always the same....members of the squatter support squad.

Your posts give you away.

You’re pushing on an open door, I was merely trying to agree with you and support your statement.

It’s time, but the circumstances won’t be right for, maybe, another two and a half years.

The rub is, that then it will be incumbent upon America, because of precedent, that we “rebuild” Mexico.

Ayee! Carumba! What a job.

Two suspects driving 3 boats? Tiffany Hartley is very pretty and the odds of a boyfriend on the side are high. Her body language is cold and off the charts deceptive. It may take 6 months or a year but the truth will come out.

I agree. We need another James K. Polk - the greatest President that many Americans have never heard of. I do not include Freepers in that statement, who are the most intelligent folks on the net.

And your indifference to the facts is astounding! Go ahead, side with Mexico over the evidence and your fellow Americans.
Pandering to the murderous regimes in Mexico got us here, and with your help it’s just going to get worse.

They hope to placate the Americans, perhaps considering the cost of loss of tourism. I doubt anyone in power knows who the shooter is, they just pulled a name out of their...hat.

As others have said, we need to build the wall. As few have said, I also think it should be manned with very good snipers.

Good synopsis, Aunt B. Seems like every thread on this topic has at least a few “freepers” eagerly jumping on the “blame the wife” bandwagon. I do know that often it’s the spouse, but in this case, there’s at least one witness to the attack, and some physical evidence as well. You’d think that at some point, common sense would take over and they’d give up on their pet theory.

Not yet, but November is Coming and an attitude adjustment toward Mexico is in order. Is it odd that just hours after (Texas) Governor "Rick" made a public demand to Mexico to investigate this within 48 hours, they have suspects names. Now the question, did the opposition drug lords give the names or did Mexican Officials know all along and just played stupid? (most probable)

Mexico is a little different than the US (so far), if there is a crime that needs to be solved, they will find and convict a criminal for the crime, even if he didn't do that particular crime.
