This week in the news......what the F@#* ?
Good morning world.....sorry I haven't made any entries in awhile.....but after reading some of the news on the various web casts, I feel complelled to make comment.
Well, lets start with the flap over the cartoons about the Prophet Mohammed, I'm not a particularly religious person. I think everyone has the right to practice in their respective religion. I also feel that everyone has the right to their opinions, the freedom of speech. Now I know this only applies to our own sense of freedom and doesn't always hold true in other parts of the world. I haven't seen the alledegly negative depictions of the Prophet.
However I think the response in the Muslim world might be just a bit over the line. Burning buildings, storming military installations, and what you ...then we have President Bush flying along in Airforce 1, he decides to call the leader of Denmark and remark, "We are with ya, soladarity brother......." Now why did he have to do this and tell the world about it. I mean JESUS!!!!....the Muslim world community or a large portion of it is already miffed at us for Irag. So why not just get'm a little more riled up, what the hell.
Then we have the death of Mrs. King, and there were 4 presidents there, 3 prior, and the present Leader of our country. Man oh man did they ever blast good ole GW there....whew, but ya know what he never lets ya see him sweat. I would guess that he is that arrogant, or he just doesn't get it.
OK, now for my next bitch......I again venture to the US - Mexican border. Now we have a report of a recent incident involving a local Deputy sheriff encountering the Mexican Army, and folks it wasn't a joint exercise(no pun intended). According to MSNBC, the deputies were responding to a tip about drug smuggling along the border. When they arrived at the scene, they found an SUV stuck in the river. Mexican Army people were helping the drug smugglers to unload the vehicle. When the Deputy Sheriffs challaged the druggies, they beat feet across the river, and the Mexican Army guys took up defensive positions described as military maneuvering......so can anyone tell me whats wrong with this picture? Please?
Alas though, the Dems and the Repubs are once again fighting it out over the ethics reform, one accusing the other of some sort of nonsense, the other wondering what all the hupla is about.......and in the mean while we have regular Mexican Army soldiers breaking the sovereignty of our borders,aggressively, in the name of drug smuggling.
Personally, I think maybe we have some major problems in this country, especially with our borders in the southwest. I made reference to a similar problem about a local Sheriff in Laraedo Texas having trouble with the authorities in Nuevo Laraedo Mexico. Corruption, complacency, and fear of retribution from the drug cartels.
This incident involving Mexican Army people is not a new thing. It has been happening since around 1996, and there have been over 200 incidents with the Mexican Army crossing our borders. The Mexican Authorities of course deny any such activity.
The solution you ask? Lets give all the local police, sheriff's, Border Patrol agents some spare Humvees, lets arm them with twin .50 Cal. Brownings. When they encounter these Mexican Army regulars from now on, lets give our guys license to hail these subjects once, and once only. Then let them be dispatched with extreme predjudice. Lets give our guys the upper hand for once, and make a stand. It's time for the political posturing on both sides of the aisle to end, we need to make a stand on this issue of druggies being logistically supported by the military from another country.
Thats just the way I see it, so good day, and good luck, we have a long tough road ahead of us as a country, so lets be Americans and not forget what we are about. Have a good day everyone.
