Obama: No Arming of U.S. Agents in Mexico

Really, then why the Hell are they going into a worse area then say... Afghanistan for?

Mexico is nothing more than another front on terrorism, more people were killed last year in Jaurez alone than were killed in Afghanistan.

Yet Oblama will not put his foot down and have our Border agents armed when they go to Mexico to assist the Police!

WILL A REAL MAN PLEASE STAND UP AND TAKE OVER THE RUNNING OF AMERICA PLEASE.

President Obama on Thursday appeared to reject the idea of arming U.S. agents in Mexico, saying after a meeting with Mexican President Felipe Calderon that the two governments will look at other ways to protect American officials in the wake of a fatal shooting last month.

"There are laws in place in Mexico that say that our agents should not be armed," Obama said, describing the U.S. role south of the border as an "advisory" one. "We do not carry out law enforcement activities inside of Mexico."

The president's statement answers speculation about how far the administration would go in reforming safety measures in response to the killing three weeks ago of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jaime Zapata in Mexico. The shooting death raised questions in the U.S. about Mexico's ability to control violence but U.S. officials earlier wouldn't say whether Obama would press the Mexican leader to allow U.S. agents to be armed.

Coming out of the meeting Thursday afternoon, both presidents stressed that U.S. agents cannot be armed. Obama said he was nevertheless concerned about the safety of agents and that they would examine "procedures and protocols" for how to better protect them.
