Mexican mercenaries expand base into U.S.

By Jerry Seper

THE WASHINGTON TIMES

August 1, 2005

A renegade band of Mexican military deserters, offering $50,000 bounties for the assassination of U.S. law-enforcement officers, has expanded its base of operations into the United States to protect loads of cocaine and marijuana being brought into America by Mexican smugglers, authorities said.

Gee, if we can’t keep a bunch of dope runners from crossing the border and operating, what makes us think they do any better with terrorists?

You know, generally when someone tells a joke, you’re supposed to laugh.
