Official: Standoff in Texas involved men in Mexican Army uniforms

SIERRA BLANCA, Texas – Men dressed as Mexican Army soldiers, apparent drug suspects and Texas law enforcement officers faced off on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande, an FBI spokeswoman said Tuesday. Andrea Simmons, an agency spokeswoman in El Paso, told The Associated Press that Texas Department of Public Safety troopers chased three SUVs, believing they were carrying drugs, to the banks of the Rio Grande during Monday's incident.

Men dressed in Mexican military uniforms or camouflage were on the U.S. side of the border in Texas, she said.

Simmons said the FBI was not involved and referred requests for further details to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The Inland Valley Daily Bulletin of Ontario, Calif., reported Tuesday that the incident included an armed standoff involving the Mexican military, suspected drug smugglers and nearly 30 U.S. law enforcement officers. It said Mexican military Humvees were towing what appeared to be thousands of pounds of marijuana across the border into the United States. *snip*

But wait, it gets worse!

Chief Deputy Mike Doyal of the Hudspeth County Sheriff's Department told the newspaper that Border Patrol agents called for backup and were joined by Hudspeth County deputies and DPS troopers. Mexican army personnel had several mounted machine guns on the ground more than 200 yards inside the U.S. border, the newspaper said.

"It's been so bred into everyone not to start an international incident with Mexico that it's been going on for years," Doyal said. "When you're up against mounted machine guns, what can you do? Who wants to pull the trigger first? Certainly not us."

Okay, I'm issuing a language alert...

You have got to be fucking kidding me! You have got to be pulling my leg. Which part of the F'in Mexican military had machine gun nests set up INSIDE the United States isn't penetrating here?

Which part of our sovereignty was violated don't people understand? Are we worried about pissing them off? I want to piss them off, no that's not accurate. I want every swinging dick that crosses our border holding a weapon shipped home in a pine box! I want the Mexican government to hurt every time this happens

Not only isn't this the first time, it's not even the hundredth time. This has happened in the HUNDREDS of times! ARGGGHHH!

What exactly will it take before we stop bending over for these sons of bitches? Are we a nation or a bunch of little girls. Don't answer please, it's a rhetorial question.

Okay, I'm slightly calmer now. I have an exercise for you if you hung on through my foul language and made it this far. If this had happened in Iraq what do you think President Bush would say? Afghanistan?

I think he'd talk about killing them, but not here, at home, where it really counts.

Why in god's name is that?

Who wants to pull the trigger first Chief Deputy Mike Doyal?

I do goddamit, and I can't understand why you don't.
