Border Patrol To Bring Peace And Pinatas To Iraq?
July 7, 2007
The latest example of stupidity on the part of our government? Sending Border Patrol agents to Iraq to train Iraqis on how to secure their borders.
No, I’m serious. This is happening. Check out the video.
If all goes well, Mexicans will soon be crowding the streets of every Iraqi town and insurgents will all be too busy bitching and moaning about loud tejano music played at 3am and the loss of jobs that Iraqis will not want to bother fighting with coalition forces. Soon, there will be peace and pinatas for all in Iraq.
Someone explain to me the logic behind sending agents from an ineffectual law enforcement agency that can’t handle unarmed Mexican peasants crossing the border illegally here in a prosperous high-tech nation are going to be able to train Iraqis in a poor sandpit to handle heavily armed Islamic extremists with terrorist training from crossing the Iraqi border?
Maybe the Bush administration plans to deport all illegal immigrants to Syria in the future so we can all laugh as Iraq turns into the Tijuana of the Middle East when they sneak across the border (I mean, they will know how incompetent the Iraqi border agents are, knowing they were trained by our worthless Border Patrol, right? So they will know which border to head to…) Perhaps this is the latest version of “comprehensive immigration reform” Bush has come up with?
Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano (D) is rightfully upset about this and has written a letter chastising Ralph Basham, Customs and Border Protection Commissioner over the issue. I actually find myself siding with a Democrat on this issue? What the hell is going on?
I suggest that if you watch the video, you can see why we’re sending them. It is part of the new paramilitary chic that all American law enforcement agencies want to get in on.
We need to start training the Gestapo forces for the Big Brother government of the future, after all—right? I mean, a bunch of foreign doctors in the UK just implemented terrorist attacks, and yet, the US government has no plans to change anything about the way visas are handled for foreign doctors.
But, we need to send Border Patrol agents to Iraq because this will help secure our borders?

I’m not sure but I think that the only thing homeland security has accomplished is stripping more freedoms from Americans. Since it’s creation it hasn’t even slowed the illegals across the border. All I know is it gives me a real thrill when I have to have papers to prove my American citizenship,so I can work. I guess if I lost them I wouldn’t be an American citizen anymore. However, I would still be an American wouldn’t I? I think the Border Patrol might be very competent but pro-alien regulations/laws keep them impotent; so it’s better to err in favor of the alien than the native. Wasn’t there a case where two agents were imprisoned over something of this nature? But hey, at least Libby got pardoned and that’s what’s REALLY important, right? Thanks for your time.

Jason, thanks for dropping by to share your thoughts. Hmm…
You know, after reading your comment, it occurs to me that there is a possible upside to identity theft. If someone was in debt and wanted a change, they could set it up so their identity was stolen…
Just set up one’s computer to that there is ultra-weak security (or some that is shut down…made to look like an oversight), and one’s information is made available to be stolen. Then, when the jackasses working at the various government agencies say that you cannot possibly be you and that you cannot prove your identity, you agree and say “you’re absolutely right…”
Go get a new one. Then enjoy a new life. It could be done. Of course, the most problematic part of it all would be that someone doesn’t steal your identity, just your debit card/bank account information and you end up victim of one hell of a screwjob. But, just like leaving crumbs leading underneath a deadfall meant to crush an unwary critter, seeding or making available only specific information and making it interesting enough that the unsuspecting hacker’s delicate ego becomes your ball of clay to shape shouldn’t be too hard.
In effect, lead them to think they’re stealing the life of Joe Successful and the keys to the City when in reality they’ve stolen a grand ship with a gaping hole in the hull—and so, will soon be going down to spend some time with Davey Jones…or some big, mean, and lonely cell-mate. As a famous William once wrote, “All that glitters is not gold.”
Such deep thinking has made me wonder: just what kind of leader would have an adviser nick-named “Scooter” anyway?
Bush has turned out to be the lamest President ever with a non-existent set of ‘nads and an apparent lobotomy that the public never learned of. How a President of the USA can screw up something so simple as Iraq and Afghanistan and let Iran and Syria give us the middle finger as they fund Jihad University (don’t you just laugh your ass off when you see videos of Al Qaeda graduation ceremonies with hundreds of attendees and apparently we can’t find them?)?
I mean come on. Short of building in-ground pools and indoor firing ranges and hanging out flashing neon “Al Qaeda Inn” signs, they can’t do much more to advertise their power bases. Too bad our leaders are complete wusses when compared next to the great leaders of the ancient world.
Who doesn’t think that Hannibal, Alexander, Ghengis, Ceasar, or Charles “the Hammer” Martel would drop nukes in Pakistan’s “tribal regions” and on downtown Tehran and Damascus if it would save the lives of their fighting men, the wealth of their nations and empires, and strike a terrible blow to their foes? Ah, but we live in an era where wars are supposed to appear polite—where no one really wants to destroy their enemy, just sort of make them go away.
And because our leaders are cowards who are afraid of our enemies, they instead oppress and hassle their own citizens. They would rather take away our rights, tax us into poverty, imprison a large part of the population (after they help import the drugs and get people hooked), and give our nation away to an army of illegal aliens so they can keep getting rich while more and more Americans end up in poverty.
It is happening because capitalists and globalists have realized that an American citizen is the greatest threat to their vision of the future. And that is why they are destroying America and what it means to be an American, it is why they are destroying families (just like Lenin suggested), and is why they are handing our nation over to illegals who will simply out-breed American citizens.
With the spirit of national pride, the value of family, love of country and a belief in self-reliance destroyed, what will be left? When there are no Americans left, when there are only masses of cheap labor who live in what was once America, the rest of the world will offer no resistance to the rising threats around the world. Certainly not Europe, whose citizens are fleeing the cradle of Western civilization.
Europe, America, Africa—everywhere you look—poor, uneducated and radical masses are invading and displacing those living in developed nations. Get ready. The next century will see the fires of the Hell capitalism and greed created being lit and stoked. You will even be able to feel the temperature rising around the globe as they burn…
I’m going to go do something cheerful now! Enjoy your day…
