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.

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

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.

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.........."

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