Open Challenge to U.S. & Mexico

[Frosty]

99.9% of americans have absolutely no clue to what is going on down along our southern border and south of it into that 3rd world crap hole they call a country. Americans are just as they were when our military went to war in Iraq, as one Marine pushing into baghdad stated "America not at war - the Marines are at war, , America is at the mall shopping! the same can be said about ICE and Border Patrol.  When will we as a nation wake up to what our so called leaders in D.C. aka: Fools on the Hill are not doing to secure our nation? Our military secures the borders of many other nations but our own, what's wrong with this picture? By the way it was our military Spec Forces that initially trained the Zetas.

Zetas Issue Open Challenge to US and Mexico Governments

Mexico's ultra-violent Zetas drug cartel released a communique challenging Mexico and the United States.

"Message to the nation, the government, and all of Mexico and to public opinion: The special forces of Los Zetas challenges the government of Mexico and its federal forces," said the communique, which was signed by Zetas leader Miguel Angel Treviño Morales, also known as Z-40.

The Zetas were formed in 1999 Heriberto Lazcano Lazcano, known as "El Lazca," who along with three other soldiers deserted an elite special operations unit within the Mexican army to become the armed wing of the Gulf drug cartel.


Not the Army, not the Marines nor the security and anti-drug agencies of the United States government can resist us.
- Zetas communique


The Zetas are now one of the most violent and powerful cartels operating in Mexico. The former paramilitary group is considered to be one of two dominant cartels in Mexico, along with Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán's Sinaloa cartel.

The group is believed to be responsible for the attack on a casino in Monterrey earlier this year that left 52 people dead.

"Not the Army, not the Marines nor the security and anti-drug agencies of the United States government can resist us. Mexico lives and will continue under the regime of Los Zetas," the communique went on to state.

While most of the violence related to the Zetas has remained in Mexico, the group has made headway into the U.S. with recent attacks and the capture of cartel members highlighting this infiltration. Last month, a botched drug bust outside of Houston left a U.S. secret operative dead and a sheriff's deputy injured after Zetas gunmen surprised the operation.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents also deported last week Donis Ruiz a suspected  Zetas member wanted for kidnappings in Mexico.

"Let it be clear that we are in control here and although the federal government controls other cartels, they cannot take our plazas. You want proof?" the communique asked. "Look at what happened in Sinaloa and Guadalajara. If we can get all the way into their kitchen we are not going to lose control of our territory."

The Zetas are considered the second most powerful cartel in Mexico behind Guzmán's Sinaloa cartel, with one or the other group present in almost every Mexican state.As they battle for lucrative smuggling routes, the two cartels have recently ramped up attacks on one another.

Back in September in the Gulf coast city of Veracruz, Mexican authorities discovered the bound and tortured bodies of 35 alleged Zetas members dumped by the Sinaloa cartel onto a main thoroughfare in the city. In May, over two dozen people, most of them Zetas, were killed as they attempted to infiltrate the Sinaloa cartel's territory in the state of Nayarit.

Since President Felipe Calderón declared war on the country's drug cartels shortly after taking office in 2006, an estimated 35,000 to 40,000 people have been killed in Mexico's ensuring violence.

I posted here over the Spring about Zetas snipers targeting Americans with Barrett Rifles. Also the incursions into American territory, by the Federalis that are on the Zetas payroll..

The NG on the border, and a wall, and an enforcement, not a lawsuit for border states, including snipers of our own, will bring this to an end.

Let a few Zetas bodies float down the Rio Grande, the majority will run like the roaches they are...

Try living in a state with people who don't speak English................................AT ALL!

This topic is the only topic I agree on with Rick Perry - not enough done to secure the border.  I say bring back the "NATIONAL GUARD" from overseas (WTF???) and put em on station along the US/shithole, I mean Mexico, border.

This is good news. Its the same kind of crap that got Escobar shot. He was a folk hero to some because he gave millions to the poor (I don't know if the Zetas are that smart). And then he started pulling this kind of crap and people said Bastante!. A few months later and he was gone at the hands of "Colombian" security forces.
Actually, I really do think we on this board should be giving Mexico props. We value the Constitution, and Mexico has been more or less keeping theirs. If it were 45,000 Americans dead in 5 years? There would be a tank on every street corner and the Bil of Rights would be a fairy tale grandparents told the little kids at bed time. Heck, look how ape shit we went over three thousand dead at the hands of foreigners (and the madness continues with the SB to let the military do away with Habeas Corpus). Can you imagine what we would have done/will do if 45,00 were dead at the hands of domestic enemies? I shudder to think about it. Anyone still think legalizing drugs is a bad idea?

I agree with sealing the border but why stop there: why not let them go forward into Vietnam ... uhhh .... Iraq ...... oops ..... Afganistan .....  oh blast ..... Mexico and wipe out these cartels once and for all. LOL

Seriously I don't think we could completely seal the border but having the Guard there is sure a lot better than where they are now.

Pride comes before the fall.  I don't think a few Zetas floating down the Rio Grande will suffice, I think you need to turn the river red with their blood as an example for any other aspiring criminal entrepeneurs.

BTW real professionals never tip their hand.

Not the Guard,  Defending the US is the only reason the Army even exists.
Put them on the border with orders to kill any thing coming North.
From snakes on up.

From the OP.
"By the way it was our military Spec Forces that initially trained the Zetas."
From the article
"The Zetas were formed in 1999 Heriberto Lazcano Lazcano, known as "El Lazca," who along with three other soldiers deserted an elite special operations unit within the Mexican army"

A little exaggeration there.
Worthy of the NYT.

Isn't that a little like the Cops suggesting to rape victims to lay back and make the best of/enjoy it?

No, I don't have time to go into it but the war on drugs is , with the NFA, and GCA 68, one of the most egregious power grabs you have been convinced to accept.
It's for the children.
