BUSH LIES ABOUT NATIONAL GUARD PATROLLING THE BORDER

It should be clear by now that Bush is a liar of the first order. His promise to place National Guard troops on the border with Mexico is a complete sham. What has happened is that National Guard troops were sent down there WITHOUT GUNS and once there they were surrounded by Border Patrol agents that were removed from their jobs policing the border in order to control the Guard. The border is now more wide open then ever. There is something worse: those of you who still get your "news" from FOX probably don't know of the case wherein two Border Patrol agents face twenty years in prison for shooting at a border crossing drug dealer when the dealer fled (a detailed synopsis of the situation is HERE). Lou Dobbs, alone so far as I know, is reporting it in detail on television. Other than he, only KFI radio is reporting it every day on the John and Ken show. Only one reporter is reporting it in print; her name is Sara Carter and you can read her stuff here. Because of Dobbs there was a hearing on Capitol Hill but the agents were barred from testifying.
