DEL RIO — A recent standoff between National Guardsmen and heavily armed outlaws along the Mexican border has rattled some troops and raised questions about the rules of engagement for soldiers who were sent to the border in what was supposed to be a backup role.Six to eight gunmen — possibly heading for Mexico with drug money — approached a group of Tennessee National Guard troops at an overnight observation post Jan. 3 on the U.S. side of the Arizona-Mexico border. No one fired a shot, and the confrontation ended when American troops retreated to contact the Border Patrol. The gunmen then fled into Mexico.

With 2000 deaths attributed to the drug trade in the last year (the last U.S. figures I have for the U.S. — from the Drug Policy Information Clearinghouse and the White House “Drug Czar“) is for 1998, when there were 14,088 “drug related homicides” in the U.S…. given that the U.S. population is three times that of Mexico, the drug trade kills about two and a half times more people in the United States than in Mexico). If the drug trade is the “terrorist trade” you have to ask “who is supporting the terrorists”?Who buys narcotics (hint — the CIA figures are here)?

Where do Mexican gangster get their weapons? (hint — Arizona Star, 16-January “U.S. Guns Pour Into Mexico”)

Where do Mexican gansters get their illegal cash (see story above)?

IF WE WANT TO PREVENT TERRORISTS FROM CROSSING THE BORDER, THE NATIONAL GUARD IS FACING THE WRONG DIRECTION!
