Just read this from the NYT

quote:

WASHINGTON — Militants for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria have traveled to Mexico and are just miles from the United States. They plan to cross over the porous border and will “imminently” launch car bomb attacks. And the threat is so real that federal law enforcement officers have been placed at a heightened state of alert, and an American military base near the border has increased its security.

Let's say they cross and blow up a vehicle here, is the border immediately sealed? Are thousands of troops sent to the border? What would be the play?

First Obama will hold a speech where he will lambaste Bush, and the House of Reps for their actions in allowing this to occur.


Then, golf.

The play would be a solid 18 holes.

Better question....

Why does the federal government think it is in our best interest to not secure our southern border?

NOOOOOO! How would John McCain get those Hispanic family values votes for the GOP which are so important????

We will never seal our border. We'll just send a few thousand young men to die in some sandpit shithole on the other side of the globe.

They don't want a sealed border, and by they, I mean the people who really run this country.

Honestly, if something like that happens on a large scale, I'm ready for a military coup to depose all of these worthless treasonous frickers occupying DC.

Maybe you should share your infinite wisdom with those right-wing fearmongers at the New York Times, since they were the source.

That's what you get when a worthless federal government refuses to secure the nations border. A government that will send it's own young men to die fighting in shitholes like Iraq and spend billions of dollars there refuses to protect the sovereignty of it's own borders. This makes me furious.

False flag precursor to martial law. No country has leaders this incompetent regarding border security if it wasn't.

In Texas?


I'm sorry but carrying out a terrorist attack in Texas seems ill advised.

I wonder how the cartels would feel about a large armed group of foreigners passing through their territory.
