(quoted from post at 15:04:16 02/01/13) Assassins murdered an assistant DA walking to the Kaufman County Tx court house. IMO this has Mexican drug cartel wrote all over it. Law inforcement involved in investigating believe it to be professional hit men. I don't want to start a firestorm causing this to be poofed but I simply can't understand why U.S. atthorities stop persueing criminals at the border. I find it equaly puzzling why Home Land Securty assures citizens they are safe from foreign terrorism while all the while tons of dope is flowing in. Good grief,a single trailer loaded with weapons instead of weed is enough to cause mass destruction and mayhem. This has become like a rat infested barn. As long as drastic control is delayed,the problem only grows. Or does it? Am I not looking at this corretly?
Gotta agree thats a big leap from a hit to terrorism.
Why couldn't it have been pro American hit "people"? May have been hired by the cartels but don't mean they crossed the border to get here. And they stop at the border because armed US authorities crossing the border could be counted as an act of war. We could count their "armed" authorities crossing to our side of the border as an armed incursion.
Why import weapons across the border when a group of terrorist can just buy/steal them and the ammo here? Truck crossing the border may get caught and blow their plan. Remember that the bigger the plan the more things that can go wrong with it. Think about it. The 911 terrorists plans included taking out the White House and another target. One hit the Pentagon and another crashed into a field. So 1/4 of the plan was a total failure and another 1/4 was only somewhat successful.
I think you are reading too much into this.

I don't believe the murder was an act of terror and it's only my opinion that the funding for the killers origionated outside U.S. borders,more specificaly South or Central America. Terrorism was only mentioned with regard to how many people and quanity of shippments that cross the borders that could easily be substituted with personal with biological,nuclear or other mass destruction weapons.
As to why I feel US attorities are justified in crossing the border. Mexican police cross into the US and exchange fire with US law inforcment then high tail back to Mexico along with the drugs and personal they were guarding quite frequently. At that point why worry about offending them? I certainly support aggreements with other countries about not invading one another's territory. Mexico has clearly demonstrated they have no intention killing the golden goose(drugs) nor honoring the aggreements. When Mexican federal attorities shoot at our guys they are initating war or what ever you choose to call it.
You could be right on all accounts and that possiability is exactly why I wanted opinion from others.
I thank you for your view and would like you to expand on part of it. Do you believe it is easier to buy or steal weaponized desease virus and weaponized nuclear in the US than getting them elsewhere? I have always felt those weapons are very secure in the US but for sale abroad.
