Mexican troops mistakenly cross U.S. border, hold US Border Patrol agent for four minutes

[Sinergy 3]

And if you looked at previous replies, it's clear that those getting bashed are Mexican soldiers and the Mexican government.

Seeing how the Mexican soldiers are the ones who made the mistake this time, it's not that hard to see why.

When another Abu Ghraib happens, we'll go back to being critical of the US military. Until then, this is what's in the news and it's Mexico's fault.

Actually, it's not Mexico's fault. It's the fault of a few fairly clueless Mexican soldiers who for some mystifying or misguided reason ignored the fact that this BP agent (who, I assume, was wearing a uniform) clearly stated who he was in two languages.

And clearly, judging from the next story posted, the BP union is also blaming the US government.

Oh like thats not surprising

What's not surprising...that the US Border Patrol union is blaming their own government for not doing anything?

If you read that and only saw the BP blaming the US government, you need to take those rose-tinted glasses off

Oh my God :blink: .. I can only imagine the poor border guard, all scared at the mighty force of the Mexican soldiers and their super duper weaponry...

And indeed, those soldiers need a freaking GPS.

My thoughts exactly.

Still trying to find the American-bashing in the thread.

Curious, so the idea is that the Mexican's didn't really make a mistake, but deliberately crossed into the US and held a border patrol officer at gun point for 4 mins?

Why? What is the purpose of this 'mistake'? Why do they want to infiltrate US soil on a regular basis?

I am sure the consiperacy theorists have some reason for this, so let's hear it. I'm ready to learn.

The idea being that they gain back some soil by crossing the border at regular intervals and shouting 'boo!'?

It's more likely that they're in bed with the drug cartels operating out of Mexico and provide them with cover when they enter the US.

The incursions we hear about are only the ones that are actually detected.

JMHO.

Reminds me of a certain song that starts out with a very clear allusion to that war of expansion (as being 'right', 'free', and one to keep one's honor 'clean'). Oh wait now I'll get accused of America-bashing oh nooo!!!
