We have all read and heard about the utter brutality and ruthlessness of the drug cartel "soldiers" and what they will do in pursuit of their ends. Thousands of innocent people have been slaughtered by them, including women and children. So, regardless of how far from or how near to the US border this raid took place, it graphically shows the amounts and kinds of weapons the drug cartels have at their disposal. We already know that parts of AZ have been placed "off limits" to Americans due to the danger of encountering drug cartel members. To lull oneself that this level of violence will forever remain in Mexico and never cross over into our own border states is unrealistic.

Where pray tell does one buy a grenade launcher in the USA?

That second story there is a doozy about the decapitated, tortured body with a message on it. These gangs put the Florida cocaine wars and the NYC Mafia wars to shame. 290 murders in one month in that city.

LOL, there you go again.

Have you heard the saying about when you assume? No, you should look it up.

Again, your posting false information, based on nothing by hyperbole and attempting to sensationalize information and facts that you clearly do not have.

Have you not been paying attention to what we've been talking about all night? No? Figured.

Again...what does the word "near" have to do with anything and yes it is subjective, yet you keep arguing it.

Are you claiming that this article is bogus?

Stating that there was no media because of where it is located shows your lack of how news gathering and reporting is done. I guess you think no one ever heard about the raid.

Are you claiming the weapons only go south? and that those weapons are never used along the border or even in the US?

Are you saying that our government is doing all they can to secure the border?

Try answering some questions instead of posting junk shot after junk shot trying to deflect.

No, YOU are posting false information....AGAIN.

The word "near"?! YOU posted the word "near", as in a description of where the cache was found! ANOTHER FALSEHOOD. Facts and truth is NOT subjective

You mean am I claiming that THE BLOG POST is bogus? I don't know, I can't find any other NEWS article to verify the "news" or BLOG POST.

Again, you're trying to cling to something that just isn't true. YOU asked so I posited that it's possible that OUR MSM isn't carrying it b/c of it's location. But here's another posit for you....maybe b/c THEY CAN'T VERIFY IT EITHER???!!! Nah, that won't fit into your conspiracy theory so, I guess that's out as well.

See, now you're grasping at straws. THOSE weapons, which were in a buried cache RARELY EVER go North. Why? Because in all likely-hood...U.S. drug gangs sold them to the drug cartels. Weapons like that are RARELY EVER used along the border EXCEPT for Federal police, however, as the drug cartels attempt to take over towns, they have been used in assassination attempts. But, then you fall into your own trap again...where they were found...WAS NOT NEAR THE BORDER.

I'm saying the government is doing more now that in the past 10 years, and the facts speak for themselves.

The only junk being posted, is by you. Un-truths and falsehoods, are malicious and too easy to debunk. They lead to individuals attempting to deflect them w/ diversions, and obfuscations. They also are just as easily debunked and shown for what they are.

And just like BP, your junk shot, hasn't worked either.

I wonder why that agent in the third photo of the second group, who is apparently still alive is not being given medical attention. And why he is apparently shot only in the chest/torso, while the others have head shots. Also, out of the group at the back of the vehicles, is the only one who lives.

Coincidence? I don't think so.
