The escalating violence which has killed thousands, mostly south of the border has been blamed on Mexican drug cartels which one Homeland Security official described as the biggest organized crime threat facing the United States. Roger Rufe, Homeland Security’s head of operations, outlined the agency’s plans for protecting the border, a response that includes as a last resort deploying military personnel and equipment to the region if other agencies are overwhelmed. Echoing comments a day earlier from President Barack Obama, Rufe said there currently was no need to militarize the Southwestern border with Mexico, despite violence that threatens to migrate into the United States. “We would take all resources short of DoD (Defense Department) and National Guard troops before we reach that tipping point,” Rufe told lawmakers on a House homeland security subcommittee. “We very much do not want to militarize our border.” Rufe did not specify what circumstances would trigger a call for troops. <http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090312/ap_on_go_co/border_violence_congress>Source - Full Article <*}}}>< <http://www.holypostage.com/>Custom Faith-based U.S. Postage <*}}}>< <*}}}>< <http://www.holypostage.com/theblog/join-the-network/>The Network Directory <*}}}>< <*}}}>< <http://astore.amazon.com/halthekin-20>Catholic on Amazon <*}}}>< <*}}}>< <http://www.halfthekingdom.org/on+allposters+today.html>on AllPosters today <*}}}>< + <*}}}>< <http://www.holypostage.com/>Holy Postage <*}}}>< <*}}}><<http://www.halfthekingdom.org/>Half the <http://www.halfthekingdom.org/>Kingdom!<*}}}>< + "The fruit of abortion is nuclear war" - Bl.
