Governor Perry supports sending troops to Mexico

Gov. Rick Perry said deploying U.S. soldiers to Mexico should be one option to curb drug cartel violence in border cities, but only if Mexico invites the Americans.
“I think we have to use every aspect of law enforcement that we have, including the military,” Perry said during an interview Thursday with MSNBC. “I think you have the same situation as you had in Colombia.”
Perry, the new chairman of the Republican Governors Association, has been touring the country promoting his anti-Washington book, “Fed Up!”
The governor’s spokeswoman, Katherine Cesinger, said Perry was simply responding to a question and counted U.S. military involvement in Mexico as one of many options the federal government should consider.

Governor Perry supports sending troops to Mexico
Texas Governor Rick Perry is a MORON!
Perry has NO CLUE concerning the depth of corruption that exists in our neighbor to the south. He is also, quite obviously, NOT a student of history or current events.
America is NOT the policeman of the world.
The bottom line is we need to keep all of our options on the table when talking about how to deal with the effects of this drug war, and how to protect Americans against the effects of this drug war,” Cesinger said Friday.
The ONLY option that we need to consider is this: SECURE THE BORDER!
If Rick Perry wants to use troops, let them be used in a way that is effective. Let them patrol OUR border, and the waterways of the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean. Let them stop the ILLEGALS that are crossing our borders. Let them stop the cartels that are bringing their poisons into this nation. Let them secure that border and stop the influx of Muslim insurgents. An everyday activity itself.
In the interview, Perry said the Mexican government would need to approve of U.S. intervention.
Ricardo Alday, a spokesman for the Mexican Embassy in Washington, D.C., said such an invitation would never happen.
Mexico, it’s people and government, don’t want U.S. troops on their soil in any way, shape, form or fashion. The American people, and most of our government, don’t want U.S. troops in Mexico. Well, if you don’t count some moron like Rick Perry.
“Mexico has reiterated on repeated occasions that the presence of U.S. troops on Mexican soil is not and will not be an option,” Alday said in a statement. “It seems that some U.S. politicians insist on electoral campaigning, even as the election ended November 2.”
Perry won a third term as governor that day and has said he is not running for president.
Perry says he isn’t running for POTUS in 2012? Isn’t that what they all say? The Mexicans have Perry’s number as much as most Texans do. Look for Perry to begin an exploration in the near future.
In his national television appearance, he said the U.S. government has been deficient in securing the country’s southern border from drug gangs.
“The fact of the matter is these are people who are highly motivated with money. They are vicious. They are armed to the teeth, and I want to see them defeated,” Perry said.
He also said the United States should use any means “to run these people off our border and to save Americans’ lives.”
Perry has a good idea once in a while. Then he goes off the reservation with his ‘we need OUR troops in Mexico’ thing. If we send OUR troops to Mexico it doesn’t need to be a cross-border, joint task force operation. It needs to be a full blown invade and conquer move, right after massive carpet bombing of ALL Mexican cities. You have to soften up the objective!
Do ANY of you see that ever happening? It won’t happen under Obama, that is a certainty.
Neither Perry nor his spokeswoman specified how sending U.S. soldiers into Mexico would help quell the violence.
As said previously, Perry has NO CLUE. He can talk, he can campaign, he can BS his Texas GOP base into making him the longest serving Governor in Texas history, but when it comes to the violence on our border, when it comes to the best way to stop that violence and secure our borders, Perry is clueless on what to do or how to do it.
Read the full story. A Texas border Sheriff is also wanting to see U.S. troops in Mexico.
If I was a border Sheriff, I’d want to see those troops on OUR side of the border, with ALL weapons locked and loaded, pointing SOUTH and fully engaged.
But what do I know? I’m just a racist, bog dwelling, beer swilling, NASCAR loving, ignorant, know-nothing redneck.
“but only if Mexico invites the Americans.”!!!!! HUH??? WTF
HOW, on Gods green earth do people of this mentality ever get elected ?? Especially RE ELECTED!!!! They are so out of touch with the REAL world it is pathetic.
WHY, should we go into mexico to start with??? Just protect OUR country to hell with that cesspool on the other side of the Rio Grande. When politicians talk like this it just reenforces my thinking that they are so concerned with their own little world of make believe that they just can’t comphrend the reality of things like this until it jumps up and bites them right square in their worthless asses.
It seems so simple: close the border, let the Mexican drug lords kill each other in Mexico, the Americans will be safe and drug lords will die. Everyone will be happy, what is so hard to understand?
1st: We get rid of RINOs, Dems and anti-American asshat Kenyans and install an AMERICAN president that has nothing but the best interest of America in his heart.
2nd: We round up and deport every ILLEGAL in this nation, ALL of em… And yeah, it CAN be done…
3rd: Once all the ILLEGALS are out of the USA we seal the Mexican border and use a few of those tactical nukes we have that are just going to waste…
Wait until the wind is straight out of the north and hit every Mexican city on the border… Tijuana to Matamoros…
4th: We station troops on OUR side of the border and shoot ANYTHING and ANYONE heading NORTH… All southbound traffic gets a free pass…
Quite Frankly, if my son was wounded or killed on Mexican soil doing the job of the Mexican government and that asshat Calderon, I would be one mad Mamma! I would be at peace with and happy to see him take the risk he signed on and trained for, IF he is protecting US Citizens, but “helping Mexico” who’s president was allowed to bad mouth us in Congress by the Kenyan in the White House??? I don’t think so! Perry is a stupid dipstick to even suggest such a moronic idea!
Perry needs to man up and do what is necessary to protect The Republic of Texas. The taxpayers in this state would gladly support that effort. Won’t have to kill that many Mexicans to make them back off. Just have to show the will to take care of business.
