#1 It's easy to win a war when the other side isn't shooting back.

#3 Possibly Ms. Clinton can see her way free to also assist pro-border enthusiasts in gaining access to Stingers?

#4 I hope they don't shoot Nancy Pelosi while she welcoming her new voters as they stream in.

#6 Reports are two, count 'em, two shots were fired in the direction of the agents.

A report I wrote three years ago stated that the Mexican Army had something like a 13.8 to 1 kill ratio, and that's when the bad guys were armed. Mexican Marines in 2011 has a 34 to one kill ratio.

I'd say the shooting was accidental.

#7 Militia started setting up a blockade today along the Laredo, Tx border. A spokesperson said they are well aware that they could be shot at by gangs, cartels, smugglers, their own government so they will be armed, but will not shoot unless shot at.

#8 Looks like NAFTA, etc.-led OWG NAU + TPP, TAP have outstanding issues to discuss.

Clearly the answer is to take away the guns from US Border Patrol officers + ordinary Civilians in order to preclude unecessary threats to innocent helpless Helicopters???

#9 They apologized? Good. Tell them we'll apologize the next time when we accidently shoot them down.
