On Saturday I posted a U.S. Department of State issued travel warning which can be found here: Travel Alert - South of the border, down Mexico way...Stay away! Well this update should convince you that the warning is indeed real. So if you had any plans of going south of the border in the near future, I highly suggest you make other arrangments...I wouldn't want you losing your head over this!
9 men decapitated in Mexico drug violence: Police
Source: Canada.com
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican police found nine decapitated bodies Sunday in a city near the tourist resort of Acapulco, and at least some of the victims might have been soldiers who were battling against powerful drug gangs.
The bodies of the men, which were marked with signs of torture, were left on the side of a highway, while their heads were stuffed in a plastic bag found outside a shopping center, police in the state of Guerrero told Reuters.
Local media reported that nine soldiers were abducted on Saturday as they left a regional military base near the city of Chilpancingo, about an hour north of Acapulco. An army spokesperson could not confirm that the victims were soldiers.
Mexico’s President Felipe Calderon has deployed tens of thousands of soldiers and federal police since 2006 to take on cartels that move cocaine and other drugs into the United States.
A note left with the severed heads warned that more authorities would be decapitated, the state police said. The state police chief said some of the victims were soldiers, Reforma newspaper reported.
Calderon’s offensive has helped fuel a major increase in drug violence. More than 5,300 have died so far this year, over twice as many as in 2007, according to the attorney general’s office.

And the dimwit Napalitano sees no possibility of stuff like this spilling over the border. Just look at Phoenix, which, by the way, is where her previous position as, unfortunately, governor of Arizona was located. I've seen rocks out here in the desert that have more smarts.
That dumb of dumbest Obama appointees, Napolitano, insane handling of illegal invasion of Arizona is causing a major problem in her former State via high home vacancies based on HIGH CRIME.. and this MORON is supposed to make me feel SAFE??? No Freaking Way... Load up on ammo .. Rations.. blankets and weapons .. only way to survive this Insanity aka the " CHANGE"....
This just in...
I just received this in an e-mail a short while ago (partial quote):
"...I am doing something I never thought I'd do - sending in my $25. to join
the NRA - not to buy a weapon, but to support the NRA in its lobby
against chipping away at the 2nd. Amendment - I was raised with guns, my
Dad owned some, as did Fred's, and I do believe its the right of
Americans if they so choose. Our neighbors are re-loaders because the
Gov. last year started putting restrictions on buying ammunition - they
recently drove up to NH to buy supplies for reloading and said the
parking lot of the gun shop was so full they had trouble getting a
parking space - never happened before they told us. All my neighbor's
guns are registered and they have permits in place - she drove up last
fall - just before the election - to sell a few and the gun store owner
told her he can't even keep them in stock - they get sold as soon as
they come in! Fred and I aren't sure what's going on but whatever it
is - isn't good - people are scared of what's coming down the "pike". ..."
