Just reported Mexico's Interior Minister dead in Helicopter crash. (Can anyone say missing Libyan ground to air missle)
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
Helicopters do crash. Do you have any other reason to connect this to Middle Eastern n’er-do-wells?
If the diaper-heads are going to make trouble for the rest of the world I hope they start now (before the elections)
Wow. Mexican Interior Ministers should travel on the ground from now on!
Uh-oh. I wonder if it was shot down - so far no more info.
They aren’t diapers, they are sheets.
Those are little towels, and many of them sport some rather natty patterns!
Hater.
Did he live in the US?
They arent diapers, they are sheets.
You're both half right. The most appropriate appellation for our friends is ... sheet heads!
... Mexican Interior Minister Francisco Blake was killed in a helicopter crash on Friday, a blow to the government as it fights powerful drug cartels.
Television images showed the scattered wreckage of the helicopter on a hillside south of the capital, and the government confirmed that Blake and all others on board were killed. It did not say what caused the crash.
8 onboard, no survivors.
He was the head of Mexican internal political affairs and security.
no details re: cause of crash at this point.
Sounds like he'd be a #1 target. I wonder when details will come out.
“Scattered wreckage”. When a chopper loses power the pilot can try to gyro down. Unless this guys an idiot and slammed into the hillside this looks like a take down.
I wonder if it got popped by the Eric Holder Fitty-Cal...
OMG, just imagine the firestorm if that happened...
I hope it doesn't happen to any greater extent than it already has... But if they are going to crank things up from where they currently stand, I would hope that it would be after the elections take place. I'm sure Obama would just love to exerecise his power under the unconstitutional (but non-the-less, existent) Presidential Directive 51/Homeland Security Directive 29. He could decide that elections would disrupt the ability of government to address the problems created by an increase in attacks, and thus declare himself president until the threat or emergency no longer existed.
Although he was better than the two alternatives we were given, Bush did a lot of things I hated, PD51/HSD29 being one of the top 3...
“Helicopters do crash.”
Helicopters shouldn’t fly to start.
It says Scattered wreckage.
Now does that mean an explosion was implied?
Eric Holder’s 50 cal. ?? Yes, that is also possible assuming it hit something in the engine or drive system, causing fragmentation.
Wonder how long it will take the MX to determine that?
On November 4 2008, Juan Camilo Mourino and several other people died when their small plane crashed next to a major Mexico City boulevard during rush hour.
