CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) - Gunmen have attacked a convoy carrying the governor of a violence-wracked border state, killing one of his bodyguards and wounding two other agents.
It was not clear if the attackers were targeting Chihuahua Gov. Jose Reyes Baeza, but he canceled a trip Monday to meet with federal officials in Mexico City about security problems in his state, where hundreds have died in drug-related violence in recent months.
Baeza said gunmen in two cars fired high-powered weapons Sunday night at a vehicle two cars behind his in a convoy in the state capital, Chihuahua city. The two wounded agents were in stable condition on Monday and one of the attackers was hospitalized with a gunshot to the head. The other attackers fled.

Gunmen attack governor’s convoy, kill guard
I know that the Obama administration is going to do nothing unless there is an actual border incident in which many Americans, INNOCENT Americans, are killed, and even then I am not convinced that the Obama administration will do anything other than talk. Obama is NOT going to take the reins and actually LEAD this nation, that is pretty much a given I think.
George W. Bush did nothing to secure the U.S. border with Mexico, other than install some easily circumvented fencing. The National Guard troops that were authorized along the border were not armed security personnel, they were Engineering Companies, builders and construction people and they were there to propagate the belief that the Bush administration was actually doing something to protect American citizens IN the U.S.A., and it was ALL for show!
We, as Americans, have been, and are being led by a bunch of politically correct WIMPS that have no problems with sticking their noses into the business of nations half way around the world but balk in cowardice at the very thought of defending the sovereignty of this nation! I do NOT throw that accusation against Barack Obama alone, I include George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and even the great Ronald Reagan in this group.
I don’t know the feelings of people in other border states but I am well aware that there are people, great numbers of people, in the state of Texas that are ready to go to WAR along our border with Mexico. It is only a matter of time until Mexico explodes into a full blown civil war, they are on the verge of doing just that right now. Once it becomes an all out battle for political superiority in Mexico, it WILL get very nasty along the Texas border, and you can include New Mexico, Arizona and California in there as well, but my immediate concern is Texas.
Texans are truly the luckiest people on earth. We have some of the best gun laws in this nation, we are, for the most part, a well armed state. It is my guess that IF, and when Mexico does break out into open and violent civil war, the people of Texas will be openly carrying those weapons as they stand and defend what our federal government will NOT! I only hope that Governor Rick *Good Hair* Perry has the balls to immediately get in the fight himself!
I have been called a lot of things because of my belief that the Mexican border MUST be closed, I have been called a racist, but I have yet to see MEXICAN as a race, I believe it’s a nationality. I have been called a butcher for my saying that we must stop the invasion of this nation by ANY means necessary, even if that meant manning the border with heavily armed troops and shooting DEAD any that violate our sovereign soil! ANY that violate our borders!
That IS my belief, it will not change. I am wondering how those that brand ME a butcher will feel when South L.A. explodes and the gangsters decide to move into the more affluent, the nicer neighborhoods, and TAKE what they want? Do they expect that people like me will come running in to save the day? Guess again.
I, and many others, have been trying to warn the American people of this for several years now. Some have listened, some have prepared, others have shrugged their shoulders, called us names and gone on in their belief that ‘It just can’t happen here, not to me, not in MY neighborhood, we have LAWS, we have POLICE, the gangsters wouldn’t dare!’. Those individuals are wrong.
It can happen, and it quite likely will happen. Texans have fought Mexico before, and we won. We can, and WILL do it again. If the so-called leadership of this nation won’t stop the violence from spilling over to U.S. soil, then it’s going to be up to the good people of Texas to do so themselves.
