Our government has been castrated to the point that they won't even stand up against piracy and murder of their own citizens. Fire OBAMA, fire the house and congress and get people with balls in office. They should be more worried about protecting americans and our country than campaigning for their jobs without a budget etc being passed!!!!!!!!!!
Mexico can go F itself accusing the wife of making this up without proof. if and when this gets settled the wife should be able to sue the mexican government for millions in slander.
Yep!!! Our Fore Fathers are looking down from Heaven, and probably weeping. (sigh)
The Mexican Gov. has refused to let the US look for the body, and said they can't conduct a search because their boat is broken. BS!!!! Tell Mexico to pound sand up their backside and do it anyway. If they so much as fart in our direction, take 'em out.

Why don't we threaten to stop all of the aid $ that we pump down into their country instead of using it to help our own citizens, plus call in all of the loans that we have. Decertify NAFTA etc. Kick them in the financial balls and I bet they will change their tune. We should keep a running list of the stupid excuses and unwillingness to help that Mexico shows and use them as the next guantanamo

I try as hard as I am able and simply cannot see the other side to this issue. Citizens of Mexico and countries from Central America are pouring across our souther borders illegally and our Federal Government, the people constitutionally charged with protecting our borders, are either turning a blind eye to the problem or actively stopping States from protecting their sovereignty.
The money, the violence, the crime, none of this makes sense to me, what is the other side? Mexico has strict immigration laws that they enforce and at the same time turns a blind eye to their citizens entering our country illegaly. Wasn't it last week that several mayors from large Mexican cities demanded that Mexican citizens who commit crimes in the US NOT be deported back to Mexico but instead be kept here at the US taxpayers expense!

This is nuts!
All true!! The answer to all your questions above is simple, this socialist/communist admin we have in place is all about "one world order", "all inclusive", global gov. We can't infringe on their laws, while our laws are meaningless. Oh how I long for a return to the Reagan days as far as governing.
Remember what he said when asked on his take of the cold war..........4 words......."We win, they lose"!!!
Ya'll are getting off my original topic. Stay with me. Can you place a .50 cal machine on a concealed mount in a Nautique 211? Will the vibration affect Zero Off? Did you read the Zapata county sheriff's comments (backed up by a Border Patrol captain) that the lake is a no man's land run from a heavily armed island, loaded with drugs, headed across the lake unchallenged for years? I have lived in So Tex for 20 years and it has taken this man's brutal murder for me to hear about this?
I cannot believe our DEA wasn't made aware of this. Our nation cannot survive the leadership we have endured the past few decades. REP or DEMO, they have failed us. Time for revolt!

No, but the racks work just as good for a shotgun and rifle as they do for wakeboards.
If they know the island has bad guys, I don't understand why it's so hard to get them. A couple of mortars or a few rounds from a helicopter...just sayin' you know there doesn't have to be an island there...
Whenever we spend a few days in the Del Rio area (Lake Amistad) we are armed. We bring arms on the boat, in the car, and wherever we happen to go (CHL is handy in this case). Although we may be wearing board shorts and sandals we are ready to protect ourselves...
This story is really sad but violence on the Texas border is reality, and we need to deal with it if the gov't isn't going to help... Otherwise, avoid the area altogether.
We need to send armed forces down there and get this resolved. This is a joke…Mexico needs some correction. Most importantly the family deserves closure and to have a proper burial. I have heard some predications that the wife isn’t telling the story…are you serious. I haven’t seen this brought up… but the Jet Ski he was on is long gone and hasn’t been seen. I doubt it sank… more so has become a TX registered vessel for drug smuggling by these pirates or cartels. Possibly the reason this terrible event happened.
I found a news report from six months ago about the Mexican Navy breaching the Texas border…guess where…Falcon lake. Same sheriff was interviewed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHGgFgTiyWw
Unknown reasons as to why they were here…what did our officials do about it…

If they don't even take care of their people, how do we expect them to take care of finding out what happened to our citizens??? We need to temporarily annex a portion of the country and take care of the problem. But then would an illegal be an illegal??? On second thought, I like the special forces idea. If the homeland security department/CIA/Off the books departments can listen to phone calls, emails, etc from half a world away, you wouldn't think it would be so hard to deal with third world pirates. Make attacking americans a capital offense carried out by our law enforcement and they should think twice.

Plus, doesn't this now give validity to the wifes story that it really happened the way she said it did? Or does the mexican government think she had a hand in the beheading to throw them off the case. If you hear hoof beats in texas, it probably is a horse, not a zebra. ie, the most likely explanation is usually the right one.

We go to N Korea to free "hostages", we deal with Iran to free wandering hikers. A US citizen is murdered on our border and nothing is happening? Where is Hillary? Where is Jimmy Carter? ****, where is Jesse Jackson?
The Mexican president is in OUR White House denouncing Arizona as racist as the president of the US sits there and nods his head in agreement?
