Mexican Military Incursion into US territory
 
It happens once, its a major FUBAR by the Mexican military. It happens twice, and you have to start wondering. If we're not rigorously protecting our borders, why should the Mexican military respect them?

I wonder how an "accidental" incursion by the US military into another country's territory would be treated by that government's leadership, much less our own press?

I don't see anything really newsworthy. We continue to thumb our noses at them and they are just doing what we are not willing to do effectively. Besides, we have oil interests to protect. :D

It seems a lot more benign than our armed incursions all over the world.

Interesting. Wonder what they were doing.

A country that truly felt insecure would probably react strongly. One which does not see its neighbor as a threat would be more likely to address such a matter through diplomatic channels without trying to amp up the anxiety. Now I wonder, in whose interest is it to manufacture anxiety about this matter.

Good point. Find out what the purpose of it was before we start running our mouths. It might have even been a good thing.

I bet it was Taco Bell home delivery. The delivery truck was called back to HQ when they found out the contents of their tacos.

Tune in to Fox. I'm sure Beck has the answer. "You see it all starts with Ghengis Khan and progressives in the Mongolian Empire, tied to the Obama administration through Van Jones and Charlie Chaplin..........":rolleyes:

You forgot Soros. But hey, it's all documented (verbatim, and in their own words), so believe what you want.

I stay up later worrying about you! :p

Foriegn military entering the US without permission is serious indeed, friend or foe. I suspect they let us know what was going on.

You need to lay off of Soros.

He may be a crooked ex-Nazi billionaire who's busy stealing the retirement funds of millions of people, but he's the LEFTS crooked ex-Nazi billionaire who's....you get my drift.

Sure he's a dirty sonofabitch, but he's a progressive, and a kewl dude as well...he wants to legalize pot!!!

So he gets a pass.

Soros is Soros, just as the Koch brothers are the Koch brothers, they come in all flavours. The only common denominator is their patent desire to hang onto what they have and double it each year.

finnbow 02-18-2011 08:42 AM

I can help but think that a lot of the Right's antipathy towards Soros is the fact that a filthy rich business magnate has the unmitigated gall to be a Democrat. For them, it just does not compute.

piece-itpete 02-18-2011 10:57 AM

Nah, considering the Dems in Congress are much more wealthy than the GOP overall, we're used to it ;)

It's not our fault we're smarter and more successful than Republicans. That's Capitalism. What, you want to redistribute wealth? I guess smart, educated, successful candidates just seem to more often be Democrats. Failed oil company executives tend to be Republicans.

Soros is hardly an aberration when it comes to the filthy rich being Democrats.

Sure, paint the GOP as the party of the wealthy while you keep raking it in for yourselves ;)

The Kochs have gone broke, oh how sad.

It's all in the handbook we get from Soros. Oh, crap. We're not supposed to talk about that with "you guys".
