Borders! Think Borders! Borders! Talk Borders...
Well of course, the "peaceful" Muslims want our borders open, do you think maybe the NON-peaceful ones want them open too? Michelle Malkin: MUSLIMS FOR OPEN BORDERS
Check out these friends of terrorists advocating free movement for all, including IslamOfascist Terrorist Killer Monkees.
Then Go over to Ms. Malkin's here for more great border coverage and links to lots of stuff and pictures of posters asking "Honkies" to get their asses back to Europe and another nasty stuff from some not-so-friendly and totally ungrateful immigrants.
Borders! Think Borders! Borders! Talk Borders...Borders! Think Borders! Borders! Talk Borders...Borders! Think Borders! Borders! Talk Borders...Borders! Think Borders! Borders! Talk Borders...Borders! Think Borders! Borders! Talk Borders...Borders! Think Borders! Borders! Talk Borders...

Monkey Scum of Suburbs Targets and Tortures French Jews
If this story doesn't piss you off then you are sick. Barbarians of suburbs target French Jews - Sunday Times - Times Online:
"Matthew Campbell, Paris
THE pretty schoolgirl known as Yalda wore tight white trousers and thigh-high boots to the rendezvous. Her target, a young Jewish telephone salesman, quickly fell under her spell. He meekly followed her when she suggested a nightcap at her place.
It would be his last date.
The testimony of this 17-year-old femme fatale who happily offered herself as “bait” in the kidnapping of Ilan Halimi, whose tortured body was found on wasteland, has shocked a country which is haunted by a painful history of anti-semitism.
Yalda’s only moment of doubt came when she heard Halimi’s shrieks as he was carried away by thugs in balaclava helmets. “He screamed for two minutes, with a high-pitched voice like a girl,” she told investigators. ..."
These barbarian monkees must be hunted down and exterminated.
France can ill afford to let this human garbage run wild, the country is already in the toilet and it's getting worse.
Hopefully, with the new French labor law, more of these young Banloonies will be able to get jobs and then will be too busy to get into as much killer monkee mischief.

Right Truth: Three year old Afghan bride, beaten and tortured..by Monkees!
For those who defend this? Then EFF them!
Right Truth: Three year old Afghan bride, beaten and tortured: "Three year old Afghan bride, beaten and tortured
Gulsoma's father died when she was three years old. Her mother and new step-father didn't want her, so she was given to a 30 year old neighbor as his bride. From the beginning of this 'marriage', Gulsoma was beaten, starved, burned, caged, and used as a slave to the 'husband', father-in-law and twelve other family children.
'My father-in-law asked me to do everything — laundry, the household chores — and the only time I was able to sleep in the house was when they had guests over,' she says. 'Other than that I would have to sleep outside on a piece of carpet without even any blankets. In the summer it was okay. But in the winter a neighbor would come over and give me a blanket, and sometimes some food.'..."
But wait, the Religion of Peace, this must be an aborration. A totally isolated incident.
"When she couldn't keep up with the workload, Gulsoma says, she was beaten constantly.
"They beat me with electric wires," she says, "mostly on the legs. My father-in-law told his other children to do it that way so the injuries would be hidden. He said to them, 'break her bones, but don't hit her on the face.'" they used her as a human tabletop, forcing her to lie on her stomach then cutting their food on her bare back.
Then, she says, he locked her in a shed for two months. ..."
Yeah, but she must have deserved this right? I mean they're Muslims, their religion couldn't condone this, could it?
No, it must not, otherwise Islam would NOT be a Religion of Peace and Forgiveness. Right?
If this poor girl's 'family' actually believed their treatment of this girl was justified and right, the father wouldn't say 'break her bones, but don't hit her on the face.'.
He obviously knows that it is wrong, or at least that some other people in the community would definitely not approve.
People who do shit like this are total garbage. Human scum, and hating them is healthy and just.
They are amoung the worst savage killer monkeys on the planet.
It's total bullsheet to say 'Well, it's just their culture.' Like raping, torturing and beating little girls could be a legitimate part of any legitimate culture. To those who say this, I say 'EFF YOU! you sick fuck!'
If it is part of any culture, then it follows that that culture is a crap culture, a savage, primitive and evil culture.
That culture most certainly does not practice any 'Religion of Peace'.

Islam, Religion of Peace & Forgiveness? A Non-Example...
The Legacy of Jihad - Islamic Holy War and the Fate of Non-Muslims [Andrew G. Bostom] - Note on Cover: "A consensus Muslim account of the massacre of the Qurayzah has emerged as conveyed by classical Muslim scholars of hadith (putative utterances and acts of Muhammad, recorded by pious Muslim transmitters), biographer's of Muhammad's life (especially Ibn Ishaq), jurists, and historians 2. This narrative is summarized as follows: Alleged to have aided the forces of Muhammad's enemies in violation of a prior pact, the Qurayzah were subsequently isolated and besieged. Twice the Qurayzah made offers to surrender, and depart from their stronghold, leaving behind their land and property. Initially they requested to take one camel load of possessions per person, but when Muhammad refused this request, the Qurayzah asked to be allowed to depart without any property, taking with them only their families. However, Muhammad insisted that the Qurayzah surrender unconditionally and subject themselves to his judgment. Compelled to surrender, the Qurayzah were lead to Medina. The men with their hands pinioned behind their backs, were put in a court, while the women and children were said to have been put into a separate court. A third (and final) appeal for leniency for the Qurayzah was made to Muhammad by their tribal allies the Aus. Muhammad again declined, and instead he appointed as arbiter Sa’d Mu’adh from the Aus, who soon rendered his concise verdict: the men were to be put to death, the women and children sold into slavery, the spoils to be divided among the Muslims. ..."
Should we imagine this was the only time Muhammad behaved this way?
Spread the word people!

With all the talk about the MSM just spinning the 'Bad' News of Iraq, and ignoring the good, and the eternal 'If it bleeds it leads.'media mantra; I wondered if there was a Good News Blog. Apparently there is. At first glance it looks pretty cool, all sorts of 'Good News' in all sorts of categories from all around the world.

Mike Whitney's 'Death Squad Democracy' Implies U.S. Trained Assassins Killing Americans!
The impression I get from Mike Whitney'sDeath Squad Democracy over at Dissident Voice is that he is implying that the Iraqi insurgency isn't killing other Iraqis, but that they are being killed by Iraqi black-ops killers trained by U.S. Military secret assassination trainers. I think he seems to imply that these Iraqi Government Assassins are also launching offensives and bombings which end up killing American soldiers as well.
Here he goes:
"The notion that Iraq is now consumed by civil war depends on a number of assumptions that are inherently false. First of all, it assumes that the Pentagon is ignoring the fundamental principle that underscores all wars: “Know your enemy.” In this case, there’s no doubt about who the enemy is: it is the 87% of the Iraqi people who want to see an immediate end to the American occupation. Therefore, the greatest threat to American objectives of permanent bases and occupation is the camaraderie that manifests itself in the form of Arab solidarity or Iraqi nationalism.
To this end, the Pentagon, through its surrogates in the media, has created a “self-fulfilling” narrative that civil war is already under way. Most of the war coverage now makes it appear as though the violence is generated from ethnic tensions and sectarian hatred. But is it? Some of the more astute observers have noticed that other parts of the propaganda war, (like references to the “imaginary” al-Zarqawi) have completely vanished from the newspapers, as government spin-doctors are now devoting 100% of their time to promoting their latest product line: civil war. ..."
Read the rest of this Al-Jazeera contributor's rant here.
This Moonbat doesn't believe that the insurgent terrorists have been killing innocent Iraqi citizens.
He thinks the White House and the American Military want a civil war in Iraq.
He thinks that the new Iraqi Government wants a civil war in Iraq.
He therefore must believe that if the U.S. Military were to leave Iraq immediately there would be no ore fighting and just peace and love everywhere.
This boy is out there.

The Buffoon Factor - Fairly Unbalanced
Media Matters - O'Reilly threatened radio show caller with "a little visit" from "Fox security" for mentioning Olbermann's name on the air:
Summary: On his nationally syndicated radio show, Bill O'Reilly threatened to turn over the personal information of a caller to 'Fox security' because the caller mentioned MSNBC's Keith Olbermann. As Media Matters has noted, in recent weeks, Olbermann has repeatedly awarded O'Reilly the 'Worst Person in the World' designation during his show, MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann. ..."
What's up with Mr. O'Reilly huh? Is he losing it? Did I hear him say or read somewhere that he was planning to retire?
The guy didn't say squat, only "Keith Olberman".
" The caller began by telling O'Reilly, "I like to listen to you during the day." Continuing, the caller stated, "I think Keith Olbermann's show," at which point O'Reilly disconnected the call, proclaiming: "Mike is -- he's a gone guy. You know, we have his -- we have your phone numbers, by the way. So, if you're listening, Mike, we have your phone number, and we're going to turn it over to Fox security, and you'll be getting a little visit. ..."
He didn't even say anything nasty like "O'Reilly, you bloviating, porcine bastard.", or "O'Reilly, you fairly unbalanced, preening buffoon."
Even if someone actually said this O'Reiily wouldn't have a case. He has a call-in radio show, he askes people to call him, his show has a delay, they could cut anything out if they want.
It's fun to see O'Reilly rip apart and shout down some terrorist sympathizer or paedophile-coddling judge. But when he pulls this whacko bully stuff, it's just sadly pathetic.
CALLING ALL Howard Stern phone pranksters! Don't you dare call and goof Bill O'Reilly's show! You'll get in real trouble.
LOL...
Baba Buey to ya all!

Mr. PRESIDENT! It's Not Islamophobia , It's IslamISTphobia!
This thing with the Ports, it's NOT Islamophobia , it's IslamISTphobia! Do you hear that and understand this President Bush, Charles Krauthammer, Larry Kudlow, Jack Kemp and David Brooks, and RealClearPolitics?
My definition of IslamISTphobia: A rational and justified fear of violent radical IslamOfascists whose ideology calls for enslaving the planet with a world Caliphate and Sharia Law for everyone on Earth.
Islamophobia - Bad
IslamISTphobia - GOOD
Got it? IslamISTphobia: Don't be afraid of it, embrace it.
Tony Blankley boils down this 'Ports Deal' stuff: Townhall.com :: Columns :: Islamistphobia-phobia by Tony Blankley - Mar 1, 2006:
"Islamistphobia-phobia
Not by chance, some months ago -- well before the Dubai port issue had emerged -- I had had extended conversations with senior executives of an American port management company. They had explained the close inter-working of the management team with the Coast Guard, Customs and local law enforcement in trying to secure the full import process (which starts at foreign ports and continues on board ship, through the terminal and includes local law enforcement -- with management an active agent of that strived-for seamless process) .
Based on that and other research I had carried out last year for my book, I understood that merely repeating the mantra that "security is exclusively run by the Coast Guard, Customs and Homeland Security" -- as we heard late last week -- was somewhere between an incomplete and a deceptive statement. But for those with a limited knowledge of the topic and other policy axes to grind, once they were fed the mantra, it was a short step to the nativist, Islamophobic charge.
Of course Islamophobia is a repulsive mentality -- suggestive of old-fashioned hate of others. But, as Denmark's leading Islamic scholar, Jacob Skovgaard-Petersen, explained in 2004, there is a different and growing phobia, which he named "Islamistphobia." This is not an atavistic hatred of another man's skin or faith or last name, but is instead the fear of the ideas and conduct of radical Muslims. ..."
IslamISTphobia is a good thing, we must embrace it, not run from it, hide from it, or deny it. More and more people MUST become IslamISTphobic if we Planet Dwellers hope to eliminate this viscious, soulless disease of a growing number of hearts and minds.
The aforementioned big names running interference for the Prez seem to believe, or are acting like they believe, that Arab sensitivity is more important that America's sensitivity, security and/or peace of mind.
I wonder if they would approve of outsourcing Homeland Security to Saudi Arabia to Please Arabs?
In fact, many middle-easterners will probably laugh their asses off in disbelief if this deal goes through.
In their eyes we will be even BIGGER fools than they already think we are.
Do you really think for one minute that Arab nations would allow the U.S., the 'Great Satan', to run their ports?
They would never stand for it. No way!
We can make it up to the United Arab Emirates and other Arab countries in other ways. I'm not saying we should give them a break on the stolen children camel racing problems they have, but we'll think of something.
Frontpage Mag interviewed David Holly back in October about his very worthwhile and vital campaign to educate the masses about "The Nine Danger Signs of Militant Islam".
Read it all folks, and then read it again and again later and later.
This is a healthy and prudent fear that we should all seek out and strive to internalize.
Please spread the word, help save our planet from global slavery.

Outsource Homeland Security to Saudi Arabia to Please Arabs!
Hey, here's a great idea to please the Arab countries and all the Muslims, from moderates to radical IslamOfascist monkee killers that dream of destroying and taking over America:
The U.S. should outsource Homeland Security to Saudi Arabia! After all, they are one of our biggest allies in the Middle East when it comes to the GWIFT (Global War on Islamic Fascism & Terror).
Why not? This would be a great way to "make a statement" that we trust any country with our security, even one that secretly nurtures, finances and educates many of their citizenry toward desiring the Non-Islamic world to be enslaved under Sharia Law.
They'll really start to love us after this, terrorism will start to diminish, and many IslamOfascists will start becoming more and more Hippyish and Flowerchildish.
They'll no longer kidnap innocent men and women and slice their heads off on TV.
They will stop raping young women and then stoning them for adultery after they become pregnant.
They will stop hating all Jews and wanting to "wipe Israel off the map".
Why not? This would be a very nice gift to the Islamic world. A way of saying thank you for not comitting any major terrorist attacks in the U.S. since 9/11.
Hey look, TENNESSEE GUERILLA WOMEN points out how Canada beat much of the rescue effort down to New Orleans after Hurricaine Katrina.
We could probably save a lot of money too, and more and more Saudi citizens will need jobs as the lavish Saudi entitlements get harder and harder to sustain.
So, if after all the hoopla to come, the UAE doesn't get the U.S. Ports contract, we've got to give them something. Right?
Of course, otherwise the UAE won't want to be an ally of ours in the GWIFT.
(The Jawa Report makes an excellent clarification of 'Allies & Friends' here:
"Why Port Security Matters, and Why Allies are not Friends")
They'll become an enemy in the GWIFT? They'll probably start openly and proudly supporting the IslamOfascist murderers and attacking Western tourists in the fancy malls of Abu Dhabi.
Come on, get real. I think not.
They can't afford to be against us, they want continued access to our BIG AMERICAN DOLLARS and our young blond girls.
But, we have to give them something. Hmmm??
I got it, let's give them the U.S. Postal Service. What a patronage mill, they'll love it, and we'll save a lot of money too! And make money too of course! I wonder how much they would pay? $30 Billion? $100 Billion? WOW!
And is it even possible that they could do a worse job, after all, the management and all the workers will still be in place. Only the ownership of the work contract will change.
Hmmm??? What next? The Treasury and the U.S. Mint maybe.
And of course what about the airports? If selling another ally like Kuwait the contract to run the major U.S. Airports would make the Muslims really start to love us; it might actually be worth taking the chance at another massive terrorist attack the likes of which could make 9/11 look like we got off easy.
I mean, what are the odds?
Afterall, 'Making a statement' of friendship and trust to the Muslims is the most important thing.
Right?
Common Dreams points out that "Treasury Secretary John Snow, who signed off on this purchase, was formerly the head of CSX before he joined the Cabinet. A year after Snow joined the Cabinet, CSX sold off its overseas port operations to DP World for $1.23 billion. As chair of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S., Secretary Snow presided over the committee’s approval of the ports deal. ..."
The far far left at Antiwar.com finally agrees with their favorite villain.
"In the face of an orgy of political grandstanding and Arab-bashing, Bush strongly defended his administration's approval of the deal and even threatened to veto any attempts by congressional bigots to block the deal. Maybe the realists are finally taking charge in the Bush White House."
Both Secretaries' Snow and Rice have asked "What kind of a statement are we making..." when we deny this deal to run our major ports to a country with shady but undeniable ties to terrorism.
Here's a statement:
We simply don't want to take any unnecessary chances with our lives. No offence intended. If Terrorism emanated from Europe we wouldn't want a European country running our ports either.
It's nothing personal. We'd love you guys (the UAE) to buy lots of American companies and stuff, just not a few things.

The far far left at Antiwar.com finally agrees with their favorite villain.
"In the face of an orgy of political grandstanding and Arab-bashing, Bush strongly defended his administration's approval of the deal and even threatened to veto any attempts by congressional bigots to block the deal. Maybe the realists are finally taking charge in the Bush White House."
Both Secretaries' Snow and Rice have asked "What kind of a statement are we making..." when we deny this deal to run our major ports to a country with shady but undeniable ties to terrorism.
Here's a statement:
We simply don't want to take any unnecessary chances with our lives. No offence intended. If Terrorism emanated from Europe we wouldn't want a European country running our ports either.
It's nothing personal. We'd love you guys (the UAE) to buy lots of American companies and stuff, just not a few things.

IS Bush an IDIOT? Is The Left Right? Is U.S. Port Deal Islamic Trojan Horse?!
I am very sad to say that the Left may have been Right all along. To allow the United Arab Emirates' company Dubai Port World to run several of our major ports, President Bush must be an idiot OR he must be insane or both, what else could it be?
Obviously, he doesn't WANT to put the USA in greater danger of a terrorist attack.
Thank God Michelle is starting to get wound up about this, she's got a bunch of stuff here: Michelle Malkin: BUSH DIGS IN
Here's one good reason Bush is way wrong: Globetrotting appeaser of dictators and defender of terrorist states Jimmy Carter agrees with him! From the Miami Herald, 'Carter backs Bush's stand on seaport-operations deal' (hat tip - Wizbang!)
WASHINGTON - President Bush is taking a battering from fellow Republicans, even the governors of New York and Maryland, over the administration's support for a decision that gives an Arab company control of some commercial operations at six major seaports -- including Miami-Dade's.
But he got a boost Monday from an unlikely source, frequent critic and former president Jimmy Carter, who downplayed fears that the deal poses a risk.
''The overall threat to the United States and security, I don't think it exists,'' Carter said on CNN's The Situation Room. ``I'm sure the president's done a good job with his subordinates to make sure this is not a threat. ...''
Read the rest here and get angry.
Of course Google News has tons of links to articles from around the world here.
This issue is getting louder and louder. I think Bush will lose this one, he could still turn this around to his advantage, or at least without doing too much more damage.
But I don't think he will. I think he's gonna try to fight this, and he and his cronies are going to look like total fools.
Why? Because if Bush & Co. does manage to get this deal done, the criticism will be endless, even if a terrorist attack attributed even in part to a screw-up in the ports doesn't happen.
Because even then, it still could happen.
If the deal gets through and a terrorist attack does happen, especially if the ports are found to have played a part; the partisan and the bi-partisan shit will totally hit the fan.
The Republicans will be gone from power for at least about 20 years I reckon.
Bush's name will be mud for the history books.
So why is Bush so behind this?
The Journal Standard is not and puts it quite simply: Opinion - Ports must be kept under U.S. control
"...Critics say it's wrong to judge a nation by the company it keeps. But we say it's not xenophobic at all to keep Islamic nations from controlling security for what are already the least secure points of entry into the nation. It's just common sense."
Maybe Bush is just trying to be 'open' and politically correct and embrace an Islamic state. He's trying to show that he cares for the innocent peaceful Muslims.
He wants to prove it so bad that he's willing to offer up our ports as a token of the trust and love he has for one of our biggest MidEast 'partners' in the Global War on Islamic Fascism and Terror, or rather the GWIFT.
Maybe at some point he was holding hands with Sheikh Khalifa, Ruler of Abu Dhabi, like he did last year on his ranch with King Saud from Saudia Arabia.
Take a look at these guys, do you really want them to be the bosses of the bosses of the major U.S. ports?
Maybe he feels he'd be letting down his filthy rich friend in the desert if he doesn't let him and their cronies make some BIG BIG money on this merger and the subsequent jumpstart of their little stock exchange into a Middle Eastern financial bonanza.
Hey, I'm all for them having a robust stockmarket in the MidEast, but not at this price.
By the way, I wonder why GlobalSecurity.org doesn't have any news on this today. That seems pretty lame.
Apparently, a few weeks ago, Bush nominated the Director of Operations for Europe and Latin America for DP World, Dave Sanborn, to be the influential Maritime Administrator reporting to Secretary of Transportation, Norm Mineta.
This port deal should NOT be shot down for any single reason like:
The CEO of DP World is a Mohammed Sharaf.
Or not because he looks like this here (scroll down).
Or not because terrorist funds have been laundered in Abu Dhabi.
Or not because weapons bound for terrorist states have flowed through their main port.
Or not because a couple of the 9/11 Terrorists were from the UAE.
Or maybe not even just because they are Islamics who more likely than not to have some friends and close connections who are terrorists or terrorist sympathisers and Radical IslamOfascists.
Not for any one of these reasons, but put them all together, and you have more than enough reason to shoot this stupid deal down.
Bush should just apologize to his Sheik friend and explain that it's not his fault, he was simply over-ruled by the American people. The U.S.A. he should point out is of course not a Monarchy like the U.A.E., it's not up to just the President of the United States.
In a true Democracy, he doesn't have the final say.
Finally, Jihad Watch rightfully asks "Has Bush Gone Mad?"
We all have to wonder whether the old boy has finally snapped.
Bush has finally promised his first veto will be against any legislation Congress puts forth to scuttle this deal.
Wouldn't it be mucho embarassing for Mr. Bush if his first veto ever was over-ridden?
Let's hope he comes to his senses, for the sake of all of us, and for the sake of the GWIFT.
:(

Watch HBO's Dealing Dogs - Kidnapped Dogs Brutalized!
Check this new HBO movie out about a brave young man going undercover to work at a notoriously brutal and disgusting dog farm to gather loads of evidence to try to help the group 'Last Chance For Animals' shut down C.C. Baird's "Martin Creek Kennels":
HBO: Dealing Dogs - Synopsis: "Class B dealers operate under the jurisdiction of the Department of Agriculture and are required by law to treat animals humanely. They are also required to purchase animals only when sellers have all appropriate documentation. Apparently, some dealers ignore these requirements while also purchasing animals that may be strays or may have been stolen directly from owners' yards.
Four years in the making, DEALING DOGS follows the undercover investigation of Martin Creek Kennel by the animal rights group Last Chance for Animals. A young man who goes by the name of 'Pete' in the film wore a hidden camera while he worked a low- level job hosing kennels at the dog dealer. Over the course of six months, Pete secretly filmed activities at Martin Creek Kennel, including the beating and shooting of dogs, and recorded footage of animals that were left to languish in their kennels and suffered from malnourishment, life-threatening disease and injury, among other abuses. Dog corpses are shown piled up on the property and in trenches after being butchered for their organs.
C.C. Baird and his family owned and operated Martin Creek Kennel, one of the largest Class B dealers in the United States, until Last Chance provided the results of their undercover investigation to federal authorities, who closed the facility in 2005. Baird's sentencing is expected to take place this winter. ..."
Read the rest here.
Eventually this Scum-Bag Dirt Ball was nailed with a very wimpy slap-on-the-wrist.
But at least they are shut down, hopefully for good.
But this total piece of shit Monkee totally deserves to die, and he's not even going to be in a nice cage for even one day. That's bullshit.

Udland Jyllands-Posten's Cartoon Explanation
Udland Jyllands-Posten:
"The Story Behind the Drawings
The story behind the Jyllands-Posten drawings of the prophet Mohammed began in late September 2005. "
Journalists working for Jyllands-Posten became aware of several instances of writers and artists in Denmark and abroad practising self-censorship for fear of offending prominent Muslims.
Danish author Kaare Bluitken wrote a primarily educational children's book about the prophet Mohammed, but ran into problems trying to find an illustrator. Certain interpretations of Islam find it inappropriate or directly forbid pictures of the prophet. Eventually, an illustrator did agree to work on the book, but only under the cloak of anonymity.
Jyllands-Posten published several articles addressing this state of affairs. The newspaper took a position that it is untenable for non-Muslims to be bound by Muslim scripture.
In order to find out exactly how widespread self-censorship is, the newspaper asked a number of Danish illustrators to submit their own personal interpretations of how the prophet might appear.
Twelve illustrators submitted drawings, which the newspaper published on 30 September 2005 as a contribution to the debate about self-censorship amongst journalists, authors, and artists. ..."
Read the rest here.
Check out more 'Cartoon explanations' from JP here.
ALSO, peruse the Mohammed Image Archive - Depictions of Mohammed Throughout History, and see that many artists have been depicting the Prophet Muhammed for many many years.
That site and others have been attacked by some Jihadist Hackers. Michele Malkin and others post stuff about
IslamOfascist Hackers trying to give the impression that they really care about these stupid cartoons.
They continue to pretend that they are actually peaceful and care about freedom.
The only 'freedom' they want is the freedom to enslave the world without anybody complaining or trying to stop them.
Eff them!

Mideast Corruption: Its Biggest Problem!
New York Post Online Edition: postopinion:
"THE WORST PLAGUE
By RALPH PETERS
February 17, 2006 -- CORRUPTION KILLS
WHAT does a standoff be tween a Texas sheriff's department and Mexican soldiers over a drug bust have in common with the electoral victory of Hamas and the current government crisis in Kenya?
Here's a hint: They all tie in with the fate of Iraq's new government, the Enron trials and environmental degradation in China.
The winning — and losing — answer is: corruption.
No single factor has been as destructive of good government and the hopes of billions of struggling human beings.
AIDS? Malaria? Avian flu? Corruption undercuts efforts to provide decent health care — just as it wrecks education systems and corrodes social bonds. Corruption is the great plague that makes all others worse.
Corruption kills. Sometimes directly, as when Mexican narco-insurgents shielded by regional politicians assassinate journalists fighting to clean up their country. Or when a crusading African politician dies in an 'accident.'
Usually, though, corruption kills indirectly. By robbing honest chances for better lives. By siphoning off funds meant for sewage systems or piped water. By delivering medicines long past their expiration dates — or no medicines at all.
From Latin America to China, university spaces and grades are for sale, while government jobs and contracts require kickbacks. Meritocracy — that great human hope — doesn't have a chance. Markets are distorted, and capitalism, which relies on the rule of law, gets a bad name where it never had a chance. The poor suffer. And they vote their desperation, putting fanatic religious parties in power in Palestine or electing a demagogue to the presidency in Venezuela.
Corruption makes a mockery of every religion, every system of government, every public institution. From Argentina through Nigeria to Pakistan, countries that should've punched their way to the economic middleweight bouts failed miserably instead — while privileged citizens bought luxury homes in Europe.
Corruption makes wars worse, too. Illicit arms deals, the lure of profits from "blood diamonds" or narcotics, or simple land grabs increase human misery geometrically. The Vietnam-era slogan "War is Good Business" applies far more viciously to the crippled "developing" world than it ever did to our own country.
Yes, we have corruption in the United States. You bet. After sex and violence, corruption's easily the third-oldest human pastime. But we don't look away. When we encounter corruption, we get angry. And we prosecute. Whether the case involves executives so rich they think they're untouchable, arrogant D.C. lobbyists — or members of Congress. It may take time, but here the corrupt go to jail.
Elsewhere, they go to Paris. Or Geneva. Or parliament.
Elsewhere, billions of human beings are born without hope if they don't belong to the right family, the right clan or tribe or the right religion.
Elsewhere, the rich and powerful not only steal from the poor and helpless, they rub their superiority in the faces of those they've dispossessed.
If you want to see cruelty more pernicious than physical torture, study corrupt societies. Much of the immigration, legal and illegal, to the USA isn't just a flight toward hope but a flight away from corruption and its consequences.
Corruption undercuts our strategic ambitions, too. In the course of a how-to-fix-Iraq discussion on Capitol Hill last fall, I remarked that, as long as we don't quit, the greatest threat to Iraq's future isn't terrorism, but the deeply embedded tradition of corruption. I don't think the senator hosting the meeting believed me, but I was deadly serious.
Without a sense of social responsibility that transcends blood and sect, it's hard to build a rule-of-law democracy. Corrupt politicians don't just steal money — they steal their country's future.
While we don't tolerate corruption here at home, we're still too willing to overlook it abroad. Yes, we have sound anti-corruption laws for our multinational corporations. But the scrutiny still isn't what it should be. And laws are worthless unless enforced.
As you'd expect, the hypocritical Europeans are much worse — despite holier-than-thou European Union anti-bribery rules (honored about as often as the old Soviet constitution). As for the Chinese and other up-and-coming economic players, they don't even pretend to obey international anti-corruption codes.
And we don't call them on it. Back in the overrated 1960s, a now-forgotten novel had a great title, "Everybody Knows and Nobody Cares." When it comes to global corruption, that's a perfect slogan.
Yes, fighting corruption abroad is tough. We lose contracts. "Friendly" governments turn against us. Demagogues blame us for their own sins. Nationalists are outraged.
But doesn't the fate of billions of human beings matter more?
Washington has to take an uncompromising stand against corruption — and not just a rhetorical one. If we're remotely sincere about democracy, human rights or religious tolerance, the battle starts with the fight against corruption.
It's about self-interest, too. 9/11 had its roots not only in religious fanaticism but also in the suffocating corruption of the Middle East. Nothing will deter hardcore fanatics, but give the average man or woman a chance and they're far less likely to strap on a suicide bomb.
Meanwhile, those Enron trials aren't about what's wrong with our system. They're about what's right with it."

Islamo Monkees KILLING Innocent Muslims Daily in Iraq!
Apparently, the Main Stream Media (MSM)doesn't want the public to see evidence of the vicious terrorist IslamOfascist Monkees brutally torturing, killing and beheading their fellow Muslims. Men, women and children.
On practically a daily basis.
You see, if more of the masses saw these disgusting photos, more of the masses would start to realize how uncompromising and purely evil these murderous IslaMO Monkee scum truely are.
They would start to see the wisdom in working to annihalate ALL of them. Destroy them all without prejudice. They are scourge, these viscious killer monkees, they must all burn on earth before Hell gets a shot at them.
With a Hat-tip to LGF, here are the photos MSM doesn't want you to see, from The Jawa Report: Exclusive: Prisoner Abuse Photos from Iraq that MSM Won't Show You:

Exclusive: Prisoner Abuse Photos from Iraq that MSM Won't Show You
**Jawa Report Exclusive**
The Jawa Report has obtained new photos from a new prisoner abuse scandal in Iraq. The photos show Iraqi prisoners being murdered by troops. The photos have not been published by a single mainstream news outlet.
The mainstream media has eagerly published old photos from the old Abu Ghraib scandal. These photos appear to show Iraqi prisoners in U.S. custody being abused, humiliated, and tortured. These old photos from an old scandal are sure to inflame more violence against U.S. troops in Iraq and against the elected government of our Iraqi allies.
The U.S. military has already prosecuted over 25 people over the Abu Ghraib scandal with another 2 soldiers scheduled to go on trial in the next few weeks. The U.S. government treats soldiers involved in such abusive activities as criminals. In fact, the original photos only appeared long after the U.S. military had begun an investigation into the abuses.
There is real abuse still happening in Iraq, though. The mainstream media does not want you to know about this abuse. They have refused to report on it. Even though the images are available to them, they refuse to show them.
These images are quite damning. They clearly show that prisoners in Iraq continue to be abused. More than abused, these images show prisoners in Iraq being murdered by the troops involved. Yet, nothing from the mainstream media.
The images below are not graphic. They show two prisoners in Iraq just before they are murdered by the soldiers holding them. They were both murdered by soldiers in Iraq in the last week. The soldiers holding them openly boast that the prisoners will be killed, even though this is clearly a violation of the Geneva Conventions. It is also clear that those involved are acting on the direct orders of their superiors all the way to the top of their chain of command. Instead of punishment for these acts of torture and murder, they are openly rewarded and praised.
We demand a U.N. investigation into the ongoing murder, rape, torture, humiliation, and abuse that continues to be widespread in Iraq on an almost daily basis. Clearly the mainstream media cannot be trusted to let the world know aobut these ongoing gross violations of international law and morality.
Below: Images taken from a video produced by The Army of Ansar al-Sunnah. The resistance soldiers prepare to murder an Iraqi prisoner. All Iraqis who fall into the hands of the mujahidin are eventually murdered. They are accused of the 'crime' of 'apostasy' and then beheaded or shot. Where is the U.N.? Where is Amnesty International? Where is al Jazeera? ..."
Read the rest and see the photos here.
Anybody who feels these monkees have any legitimacy at all is either a total fool, just plain ignorant, or one of the terrorists, or their direct supporters themselves.
If only we could lead these Jihadist Head-Chopping Monkees, and only them, all to one big isolated area...let them call it their own country.
It would probably take less than 24 hours before they committed and act of war, then the country could 'simply' be nuked.
It is us or them! GOT IT?
COMPRENDE???

With a Hat-tip to LGF, here are the photos MSM doesn't want you to see, from The Jawa Report: Exclusive: Prisoner Abuse Photos from Iraq that MSM Won't Show You:

Exclusive: Prisoner Abuse Photos from Iraq that MSM Won't Show You
**Jawa Report Exclusive**
The Jawa Report has obtained new photos from a new prisoner abuse scandal in Iraq. The photos show Iraqi prisoners being murdered by troops. The photos have not been published by a single mainstream news outlet.
The mainstream media has eagerly published old photos from the old Abu Ghraib scandal. These photos appear to show Iraqi prisoners in U.S. custody being abused, humiliated, and tortured. These old photos from an old scandal are sure to inflame more violence against U.S. troops in Iraq and against the elected government of our Iraqi allies.
The U.S. military has already prosecuted over 25 people over the Abu Ghraib scandal with another 2 soldiers scheduled to go on trial in the next few weeks. The U.S. government treats soldiers involved in such abusive activities as criminals. In fact, the original photos only appeared long after the U.S. military had begun an investigation into the abuses.
There is real abuse still happening in Iraq, though. The mainstream media does not want you to know about this abuse. They have refused to report on it. Even though the images are available to them, they refuse to show them.
These images are quite damning. They clearly show that prisoners in Iraq continue to be abused. More than abused, these images show prisoners in Iraq being murdered by the troops involved. Yet, nothing from the mainstream media.
The images below are not graphic. They show two prisoners in Iraq just before they are murdered by the soldiers holding them. They were both murdered by soldiers in Iraq in the last week. The soldiers holding them openly boast that the prisoners will be killed, even though this is clearly a violation of the Geneva Conventions. It is also clear that those involved are acting on the direct orders of their superiors all the way to the top of their chain of command. Instead of punishment for these acts of torture and murder, they are openly rewarded and praised.
We demand a U.N. investigation into the ongoing murder, rape, torture, humiliation, and abuse that continues to be widespread in Iraq on an almost daily basis. Clearly the mainstream media cannot be trusted to let the world know aobut these ongoing gross violations of international law and morality.
Below: Images taken from a video produced by The Army of Ansar al-Sunnah. The resistance soldiers prepare to murder an Iraqi prisoner. All Iraqis who fall into the hands of the mujahidin are eventually murdered. They are accused of the 'crime' of 'apostasy' and then beheaded or shot. Where is the U.N.? Where is Amnesty International? Where is al Jazeera? ..."
Read the rest and see the photos here.
Anybody who feels these monkees have any legitimacy at all is either a total fool, just plain ignorant, or one of the terrorists, or their direct supporters themselves.
If only we could lead these Jihadist Head-Chopping Monkees, and only them, all to one big isolated area...let them call it their own country.
It would probably take less than 24 hours before they committed and act of war, then the country could 'simply' be nuked.
It is us or them! GOT IT?
COMPRENDE???

A Jewish University Hires Jew-Hater!
Here's a great example of HIGHER education getting snookered by the allure of the peaceful Islam. From those diligent defenders of campus free speech, and monitors of encroaching IslamOfascism in American colleges and universities: Campus Watch.

Providing new evidence of the academic Left's hardened anti-Americanism and sympathy for jihad terror, Khalil Shikaki has been appointed a senior fellow at Brandeis University's Crown Center for Middle East Studies.
Shikaki's involvement with Middle Eastern politics and culture has long been more hands-on than that of most academics. On February 24, 1998, terrorism expert Steven Emerson gave this testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee: 'Professor Khalil Shikaki seemed to possess such an impassioned voice for moderate political solutions to the Middle Eastern problems that it prompted the USF [the University of South Florida] to finalize its cooperative relationship with WISE [the World & Islam Studies Enterprise, of which Shikaki was the first director]. Yet documents seized by federal officials uncovered a wealth of information, including incriminating letters, proving Khalil Shikaki using Shallah as a courier to ferry information, messages and even operational materials to his brother Fathi in Damascus, head of Islamic Jihad. When publicly asked however, Khalil always maintained he had no contact with his brother.'
On May 23, 2000, Emerson gave additional and quite specific information about Khalil Shikaki when testifying about the World & Islam Studies Enterprise before the House Judiciary Committee: 'Documents seized by federal agents at the WISE office in November 1995 show that Khalil Shikaki, after his departure from WISE in 1992, contacted his brother Fathi Shikaki through Ramadan Abdullah. Evidence released in the federal investigation against WISE and ICP included a letter and a fax between Abdullah and Khalil Shikaki showing that Abdullah served as a go-between for the brothers. These communications contained references to various matters including support for a project headed by ‘Abu Omar,' a nom de guerre of Hamas leader Musa Abu Marzook…. In comments made by Khalil Shikaki on December 24, 1989 at the ICP Annual Conference, he proclaimed support for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad as a unifying element of the Islamic resistance in Palestine.' ..."

Clearly, this guy looks pretty damn dirty. How this info could get by a leading Jewish Unversity is beyond me.
But, maybe it didn't get by them. Maybe they knew all this.
And if so, then why would they want someone in their midst that most assuredly wants them dead?
Someone who wants all their families dead.
Someone who wants all of their fellow Jews around the world dead.
What is wrong with this picture?
What is really going on?
Do some Jews really condone terrorists killing innocent Jews?
Or do they really just think they can make friends with these radical IslamOfascists?
Maybe if they hug enough they will change their evil ideology?

1st Michelle Malkin Film?: FIRST, THEY CAME: THE MOVIE
MAJOR KUDOS to Ms. Malkin for creating this brilliant very short film to educate the masses; young and old, east and west, and left and right, about the encroaching evil which is creeping IslamOfascism and all its unadmited intolerance, cruelty, barbarism and brutality.
Regarding all this 'Cartoons of the Prophet' nonsense and escalating violence:
Michelle Malkin: FIRST, THEY CAME: THE MOVIE:
"By Michelle Malkin - February 04, 2006 11:05 AM
I couldn't sleep at all last night, so I toyed around with Windows Movie Maker and put together a little, 2-minute photo/video montage about the Muhammad cartoons.
It's called 'First, They Came'--and I hope it will speak to many around the world in a universal way. ..."
You really must see this a few times, I recommend pausing when you see it for a second time when you want to read all the Nutters' protest signs and stuff.
Download and watch the movie (.wmv file).
Non-Catholics don't have to obey Catholic doctrine, so why do non-Muslims have to obey the Islamic law of never creating a likeness of their Prophet Muhammad?
Muslims can't demand that non-Muslims not draw a picture of the Prophet.
Besides, what do you think is the real reason for this? They say that this is to reduce idolatry, that drawing a picture of Muhammad is idolatry.
Maybe the Prophet just wasn't very attractive and thus his likeness was deemed to be not a good tool for spreading Islam?
Just maybe?
No, I'm sure he was a very handsome man!
BizzyBlog has a take on this cartoon madness and Michelle's film and also dreams of Malkin for President!
She'd be much better than Hillary, a lot cuter too.
Run Michelle Run! Please make some more films someday! Go Michelle go!
:)

U.K. Easy on Sick Sex Crimes! What Would the 'Best Pedophile' Get?
On Sky news I found this gem of an example of how lax the criminal sentences are. They redefine the word 'liberal'.
Pay-As-You-Go Paedophile Jailed: "Pay-As-You-Go Pervert
Updated: 19:36, Friday February 03, 2006
Britain's 'worst paedophile' has been jailed for three years after targeting thousands of children across the country.
Anthony Dore used untraceable pay-as-you-go mobiles to coerce boys and girls as young as five into committing sexual acts.
The shaven-headed 50-year-old posed either as a teacher or as a relaxation technique researcher to talk to his victims.
He concentrated on ethnic minority communities, which he believed would be more compliant, Inner London Crown Court heard.
Police said, considering the 'tens of thousands' of calls he made and the number of victims that came forward, he was the country's 'worst' paedophile.
Judge Quentin Campbell, sentencing, said Dore's lengthy and 'bizarre' reign of perversion may well have caused 'irreparable psychological harm' to his victims.
'Therefore your acts were evil in the extreme.'
Dore also targeted a huge number of other children while on bail.
The scaffolder, of St Albans Road, Nottingham, pleaded guilty to a total of 16 offences of inciting children to 'commit acts of gross indecency' between July 2003 and February last year."
WOW! Three whole years for targeting thousands of children! I think the courts were way too rough on this monkey piece of scum. But hey, he's the "'worst' paedophile", he deserves it right?
Are you nuts? He deserves to be beaten and raped every night for life times two in prison.
Obviously Britain really doesn't consider sex crimes against children to be that "evil in the extreme".

Iraq Corruption SCUM: Robert J. Stein Jr. & Philip H. Bloom Deserve Iraqi Prison Dungeon Nightmare!
Whether or not you HATE & DESPISE the Godless scum-sucking Butcher of Baghdad, this should really piss you off:
Former U.S. Official in Iraq to Plead Guilty to Corruption - New York Times: "By JAMES GLANZ
Published: February 1, 2006
A former American occupation official in Iraq is expected to plead guilty to bribery, conspiracy, money laundering and other charges in federal court on Thursday for his actions in a scheme to use sexual favors, jewelry and millions of dollars in cash to steer reconstruction work to a corrupt contractor, according to papers filed with the court.
The official, Robert J. Stein Jr., served as a comptroller and funding officer in 2003 and 2004 for the Coalition Provisional Authority, which governed Iraq after the American-led invasion. Four Americans, including Mr. Stein and the contractor, Philip H. Bloom, have been arrested in the case. Mr. Stein's plea, apparently with the understanding that he will cooperate with prosecutors, is the first to be made public.
The court papers depict a sordid exercise in greed and corruption that was spread much more widely that previously known. Including the four people already arrested, the papers indicate that a minimum of three other still unnamed co-conspirators also played a role in the scheme. In order to give more than $8 million in contracts and millions more in stolen cash to Mr. Bloom, the papers say, the conspirators accepted bribes, valuable goods and other favors.
Two of the Americans already arrested, Lt. Col. Debra Harrison and Lt. Col. Michael Wheeler, are senior Army reserve officers. The court papers indicate that the remaining unnamed co-conspirators are also Army reserve officers, for a total of at least five officers involved. But the papers suggest that others, identified only by opaque designations like "person H," may also have been involved in one way or another.
The goods included first-class plane tickets, watches and other jewelry, alcohol and cigars, the court papers say. They add that Mr. Bloom kept a villa in Baghdad where women dispensed "sexual favors" in exchange for official actions in his favor or for refraining from exposing the scheme.
Mr. Stein is accused of stealing outright at least $2 million in cash of American taxpayer money and Iraqi money that had been set aside for the reconstruction of Iraq by the American occupation. He also accepted more than $1 million in bribes and at least $600,000 of additional goods and cash that were the property of the C.P.A., the papers say.
The actions took place in a vast territory surrounding the Iraqi city of Hilla, south of Baghdad, where Mr. Stein was put in charge of at least $82 million of reconstruction money despite a previous conviction for felony fraud, which his Pentagon background check apparently missed. Mr. Bloom and some of the others wired money back to the United States to buy weaponry like grenade launchers and machine guns that Mr. Stein was prohibited from owning because of his conviction or that were illegal in themselves.
The court papers indicate that Mr. Stein has agreed to plead guilty in Federal District Court in Washington to counts of conspiracy, bribery, money laundering conspiracy, a felon in possession of a firearm and possession of a machine gun.
The e-mail exchanges between Mr. Stein and Mr. Bloom, as detailed in the papers, are remarkable in their illustration of the daily business of apparently greed and graft. "I love to give you money," Mr. Stein wrote on Jan. 3, 2004, as he began steering work on an Iraqi police academy to Mr. Bloom.
At other times, Mr. Stein warns Mr. Bloom about others who are threats to expose their scheme or may want to get in on it themselves. "I will warn you to be very careful what you say around him," Mr. Stein writes on Jan. 27, 2004, about someone identified only as person D. "If he ever knows what we are doing he will want 'his cut!' "
Other exchanges show the day-to-day realities of doing business in Iraq with Westerners who are far from the routine pleasures of home. "Thanks for the booze," Mr. Stein wrote on Jan. 27. "That will give me some bargaining material here and there.""
Hopefully all the human garbage found culpable in this will discover the "day-to-day realities" of living in fear of rape and being beaten to death in prison.
We can only hope that the MSM, including all that is "Fair & Balanced", and especially the bloggers keep tearing at this like a pack of pitbulls on a Jack Abramoff poodle.
If President Bush has only half the brains the moonbats accuse him of having, he should see to it that all these people live miserable live for as long as possible in a deep dark Federal dungeon.
EFF them all! I'm effing totally disgusted. Total vile pieces of shit! I hope they ALL rot in HELL.
Other than that I have no real opinion on the matter.

More Mexican "Military" U.S. Border Shenanigans Information...
The LBPD read about these Mexican "Military" drug couriers repeatedly crossing the U.S. border to deliver drugs and shoot at our Border Patrol and local police a couple days ago and wishes to thank Joe Scarborough for bringing this up on his show Monday night.
It led to me posting this in a fit of righteous rage:

Clinton Bombs for Saddam's WMDs in 1998!!!
More good stuff from: Michelle Malkin: DID BUSH LIE? GOOGLE IT
Who would have thunk it? Just enter "Clinton Iraq 1998" in Google and what comes right up all over the place? President Clinton announcing that he has bombed some of Saddam's WMD sites.
He and the Democrats were the first ones to claim (rightfully so) that Saddam was developing WMD and stalling and stonewalling the U.N. "inspections".
Here are the first five results from Google today:
From CNN 1998:
Clinton: Iraq has abused its last chance
Transcript: President Clinton explains Iraq strike
From The Weekly Standard:
The Clinton View of Iraq-al Qaeda Ties
Democrats for Regime Change
From The Federation of American Scientists:
Clinton Signs Iraq Liberation Act
"...The statement concluded, "Saddam is the problem and he cannot be part of
any solution in Iraq. Therefore, President Clinton's action today is
the most appropriate response to Saddam. Let him know that Iraqis will
rise up to liberate themselves from his totalitarian dictatorship and
that the US is ready to help their democratic forces with arms to do so.
Only then will the trail of tragedy in Iraq end. Only then will Iraq be
free of weapons of mass destruction. ..."
Rub this in Dean's, Kerry's, Murtha's, Pellozi's, Markos Moulitsas Zuniga's and Clinton's faces.
Spread the word...

Mexican "Military" Must Be Killed When They Cross U.S. Border and Shoot at Border Patrol!
DailyBulletin.com - News: "Reps Want Probe, Dreier, Hunter Ask for Investigation of Border Incursions
By Sara A. Carter, Staff Writer
Two California congressmen have formally asked for an investigation into reports that Mexican military have crossed into the United States more than 200 times in the past 10 years.
Citing a story first reported Sunday by the Daily Bulletin, Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-San Diego, and Rep. David Dreier, R-Glendora, on Thursday asked the House Judiciary Committee, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, the House Homeland Security Committee and the House International Relations Committee to investigate the incursions, which came to light in a President's Office of National Drug Control Policy map and document given to the newspaper.
Requests by Dreier, chairman of the House Rules Committee, and Hunter were made in jointly signed letters.
'There are reports that Mexican military personnel, or those posing as Mexican military personnel, are illegally crossing the southern border into the United States,' said Dreier and Hunter in a letter to Chertoff.
'Given the critical importance of border and national security, we respectfully request that you provide the documents reported by the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, explain how these incidents occur, and outline DHS' current policies to address these illegal crossings and your strategy for preventing similar acts in the future,' the letter stated. On Sunday, the Daily Bulletin first reported the details of a Department of Homeland Security, Customs and U.S. Border Protection document that showed 216 incursions since 1996 and a 2001 map detailing the incursions along the southern border.
On Wednesday, Chertoff played down the reports that outlined hundreds of border incursions by the Mexican military. He suggested many of the incursions could have been mistakes, blaming bad navigation of military personnel or criminals dressed as military personnel.
Mexican officials denied Wednesday any incursions made by their military.
But border agents interviewed over the past year have discussed confrontations with persons they believe to be Mexican military personnel. ..."

Mexican Soldiers, Police Square Off in Texas.
By Sara A. Carter and Kenneth Todd Ruiz, Staff Writers
Mexican soldiers and civilian smugglers had an armed standoff with nearly 30 U.S. law enforcement officials on the Rio Grande in Texas Monday afternoon, according to Texas police and the FBI.
Mexican military Humvees were towing what appeared to be thousands of pounds of marijuana across the border into the United States, said Chief Deputy Mike Doyal of the Hudspeth County Sheriff's Department.
Mexican Army troops had several mounted machine guns on the ground more than 200 yards inside the U.S. border -- near Neely's Crossing, about 50 miles east of El Paso -- when Border Patrol agents called for backup. Hudspeth County deputies and Texas Highway patrol officers arrived shortly afterward, Doyal 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.''
An FBI spokeswoman confirmed the incident happened at 2:15 p.m. Pacific time.
"Bad guys in three vehicles ended up on the border,'' said Andrea Simmons, a spokeswoman with the FBI's El Paso office. "People with Humvees, who appeared to be with the Mexican Army, were involved with the three vehicles in getting them back across.''
Simmons said the FBI was not involved and referred inquiries to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
ICE did not return calls seeking comment. ..."

President Bush has to tell Mexico's President Fox in no uncertain terms to put a stop to this. If he denies this is happening, which he most surely will, then we must capture some of these pigs for evidence. Dead or alive!
Put some special forces types down there to work with the border patrol and set a trap for these Mexican "Soldiers".
They can get the job done.
