Even Bigger Outrage–Mexican soldiers hitmen arrested for murdering man in his Phoenix, Arizona home

By see-dubya  •  June 26, 2008 03:02 PM

If you thought this was bad, wait till you see this.

The suspects may have been hired by drug cartels to perform home invasions and assassinations in the U.S.

Police reports show that three men arrested in a Phoenix home invasion and homicide Monday may have been active members of the Mexican Army.

Full tactical gear, AR-15s, 50-100 rounds burped off at the victim’s house (who was suspected to be a marijuana dealer) and alleged plans to “ambush” any Phoenix PD officers who tried to stop them.

When the Wall Street Journal says, “Let there be open borders”, is this what they had in mind?

Forget the fence for just a second and think about this:

The Mexican Army has made several incursions across our Southern border. Some were probably just units getting lost, some had a more sinister reason behind them…but given the recruitment of elite military assassination squads by the cartels, this should be seen as a serious problem.

It would be overstating the problem to say that “the Mexican military is invading us”. But there is a criminal, militarized element that is crossing the border with impunity and distressing regularity, and for nefarious purposes.

Why is President Bush pulling the National Guard off the border? Granted, there have been some problems, but why should we leave potential combat with a militarized incursion to the Border Patrol?

Okay, now think about the fence again. Real, please, not virtual.
_______________

UPDATE: That Fox item linked above (and the AZ Republic) is saying they weren’t active Mexican soldiers, but that one had received military training. So, okay, nothing to worry about then. Just business as usual. Six trained hitmen in a Tahoe full of AR 15s and tactical gear can drive across the “border” and kill a guy in his house in Phoenix and expect to get away with it.

No problem here. Everybody go back to sleep.

    Voted for Ralph Nader.

    Assumed we all went to public school.

    Not a very good batting average…

    Now you go ahead and throw your vote away. Your voting record explains everything.

    I don’t vote to “make a difference”, especially since the president is not decided by popular vote. I think government school failed the three of you, but that’s government for you. If you people actually think you’re voting for president, then you need to turn in your citizenship merit badges.

    I went to both public and private schools and in case you didn’t know it, the popular vote in each state determines who gets that state’s electoral votes. Did you go to one of those LaRaza magnet schools or something?

    I’m a conservative and I understand where you’re coming from. The last two (presidential) elections I voted for the major candidate I thought was the lesser of two evils and you know what I got? Gigantic government, massive spending and debt that would make the most liberal politician proud. All under the lesser of two evils GWB & a republican congress.(pre 06) John McCain is to the left of Dubya on just about everything… IMO a conservative voting for McCain is a vote for a continued move to the left by the republican party sanctioned by conservatives.

    Exactly how bad do you think it can get with a Dem Congress, Dem president and Dem SC appointees? We might have a bigger government, spending and debt, but how do you think Obama would have reacted to 9/11? Do you think a bunch of Obama’s appointees would have determined the second amendment to be an individual right? Think you’re paying taxes now, just wait. Unless you’re making less than $50,000/year Obama thinks you’re rich and they just love to tax the rich. Gas prices too high? Wait until they add another fifty cent gas tax. Did I say fifty cents? I’d guess a little higher so we can combat global warming.

    Long story short. It can get a heck of a lot worse than a McCain presidency.

    And if you voted for someone else, and Al Gore would have been elected president, not GWB, how would have the US responded to the attacks on 9/11? I can only imagine what this country would look like after 4 years of Al Gore. (if you think that McCain is on the wrong issue with global warming) as one of many examples. Do you think that the greater of two evils would have been a better choice than the lesser?

    .. or the lesser of two evils was not supported 4 years later and we would have had President John Kerry from 2004 to 2008. What would Iraq look like today if we left them to the terrorists? Without the surge that the democrats soundly rejected because it came from Bush, Iraq is much closer to being less chaotic and they are struggling to fight off the people who want to destroy what they have and replace it with a terrorist friendly nation state.

    “IMO a conservative voting for McCain is a vote for a continued move to the left by the republican party sanctioned by conservatives.”

    A lot of people wanted to punish George Bush’s father for his reneging on his ‘no new taxes’ pledge and wanted to not reward a more liberal republican with the hopes of bring out more conservative candidates. And like I said earlier, we were rewarded with 8 years of the clintons and then Bush’s son was elected president. So how did that work out for them?

    A vote for mccain is not a vote to continued move to the left. If you want to have a better conservative, then you need to vote for a more conservative candidate in the primary. And a more conservative candidate needs to do a much better job than any of these people this time to attract more voters so they will succeed.

    (I was lectured today. lamely I might add, on conservative principles by someone who voted for Ralph Nader.)

    Again, if you want Obama that is your business, it is your freedom of choice. Just don’t kid yourself stop pretending you are voting that way out of conservative principles.

    …..You are mentally deficient….You are really an embarrassment……you are a complete idiot, and it’s a shame that you are going to vote this november, because you are as dangerous to this country as ever single other Obama supporter.

    So, you’re insulted because somebody challenged you when you’re “speaking your mind”? Coming from you, this is really a joke. You can barely type a sentence without unloading an hysterical screed at anybody who disagrees with you. You definitely aren’t winning any hearts and minds for your hero, McCainiac.

    First of all, I never said that my principles are conservative ones, nor have I ever called myself a conservative; you are the one ascribing conservative principles to me. I said that I vote based on my principles. Those principles are libertarian. Some of them are shared with conservatives, in theory. But regardless of the logical fallacies you try to bring to the discussion, regardless of the namecalling, etc., I’ll be voting for a candidate who best reflects my values. You won’t be able to say that.

    Now, supposedly you and the other McCainaanites are conservatives, as you proudly declare. Now someone just said that the time to vote for a more conservative candidate was in the primary. While that is true, it is also true that there are more conservative people on the presidential ballot. If you and your ilk didn’t put party over principle, maybe a conservative would be elected.

    As I stated before, moonbat, yes I will. I will vote for John McCain, a good man who has demonstrated his patriotism, fiscal responsibility and unwillingness to surrender to islamist terrorists. I will then do my best to hold his feet to the fire if he moves away from his promises on immigration.

    I am not sacrificing my conservative principals at all. I recognize that there is no such thing as the conservative equivalent of a nanny state and no matter who I help elect it will take me making a fuss after the fact to keep them honest.

    In short I am happy with my choice: Vote McCain, keep Obama out, stay on the codger’s case.

    The main thing I am happy about is NOT SUPPORTING OBAMA.

    “. If you and your ilk didn’t put party over principle, maybe a conservative would be elected.”

    Maybe a gorilla will parachute out of an asteroid and hand me a check for a bazillion dollars too. The fact is there are 2 viable candidates in this race. One would have thought you had learned all about this by now…

    And finally, the Spanish parliament’s environmental committee has taken a giant step in improving human-animal relations. The committee approved a series of resolutions urging compliance with something called the Great Ape Project — an international organization that says apes are our closest genetic relatives, and therefore, deserve rights previously limited to humans.

    Great Apes Project Director Pedro Pozas says, “This is a historic day in the struggle for animal rights and in defense of our evolutionary comrades.”

    The legislation is expected pass and become law. If it does, experimental testing on apes will be banned, as well as the use of apes in TV commercials and circuses.
