Mexico demands probe in migrant killed by US agent

Mexico's Foreign Relations Department urged U.S. authorities to swiftly investigate and questioned the "use of firearms to repel an attack with stones."

O.K. we will no longer use guns! I propose a new method of deterrence,Catapults! loaded with rocks, boiling hot oil to set on fire when dumped over the extremely tall and well defended wall that must be built along the southern border to keep incidents like this from happening again!
And if the illegals are lucky enough to get past that then the border agents will be waiting with baseball bats with multiple spikes anchored in the business end, could be lethal could be not, it would depend on how much the jackass's decided to resist!

Mexican President Felipe Calderon on Wednesday condemned a Border Patrol agent's fatal shooting of a Mexican man who allegedly struck another agent with a nail-studded post. The union representing agents called the triggerman a hero.

The victim was shot once after he hit the agent in the head with the nail-studded piece of wood that was about 3 feet long and resembled a table leg, said San Diego police Lt. Ernie Herbert. He was about to throw a rock when the other agent fired.

The victim fell on the Mexican side of the fence near San Diego's San Ysidro border crossing, where he died Tuesday night, Herbert said.

Mexican authorities identified the victim as Jose Alfredo Yanez, 40, of Tijuana. Heriberto Garcia, the Baja California state human rights ombudsman, said Yanez worked at a towing company and had a young child with his 18-year-old girlfriend, who is five months' pregnant with their second child.

The Border patrol agents have family also, does that matter to any pos Illegal immigrant trying to sneak into America?
If this POS was worried about his family maybe he should not have been running away from them and attacking a border patrol officer in the process

No Border Patrol agents were seriously hurt.

Calderon wrote on Twitter that he discussed the killing with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at a meeting of regional leaders in Guatemala City.

"I demanded punishment for the guilty," he wrote.

the guilty were punished the little illegal pos was killed for his neglegent stupidity

Mexico's Foreign Relations Department urged U.S. authorities to swiftly investigate and questioned the "use of firearms to repel an attack with stones."

The union that represents Border Patrol agents defended the killing. Shawn Moran, a spokesman for the National Border Patrol Council, said the agent likely saved his colleague's life or spared him serious injury. The triggerman has been an agent for three years.

"The guy's a hero," said Moran. "He's a relatively junior agent, but he showed great poise in dealing with a really bad situation."

Pentagon Pentagon: Cyber Attacks Can Count as Act of War

A new age of war.
the pentagon will have a tough go at even getting this off the ground, so many factors come into play that you have to consider when judging where a cyberattack originated.

Do I think that some cyberattacks are acts of war, hell yeah, a portion of them are directly targeted attacks and should be dealt with.
America is a little behind the times when it comes to fighting cyber warfare, when China actively recruits hackers to implement cyber attacks, why is the United States not doing the same?

Foxnews
WASHINGTON—The Pentagon has concluded that computer sabotage coming from another country can constitute an act of war, a finding that for the first time opens the door for the U.S. to respond using traditional military force.

The Pentagon's first formal cyber strategy, unclassified portions of which are expected to become public next month, represents an early attempt to grapple with a changing world in which a hacker could pose as significant a threat to U.S. nuclear reactors, subways or pipelines as a hostile country's military.

In part, the Pentagon intends its plan as a warning to potential adversaries of the consequences of attacking the U.S. in this way. "If you shut down our power grid, maybe we will put a missile down one of your smokestacks," said a military official.

Recent attacks on the Pentagon's own systems—as well as the sabotaging of Iran's nuclear program via the Stuxnet computer worm—have given new urgency to U.S. efforts to develop a more formalized approach to cyber attacks. A key moment occurred in 2008, when at least one U.S. military computer system was penetrated. This weekend Lockheed Martin, a major military contractor, acknowledged that it had been the victim of an infiltration, while playing down its impact.

US confirms first Predator strike in Libya

That did not take long, Predator drones going to Libya was just announced yesterday.
No details, and that is probably how this will go the whole time...No Details.


BBC
The US military has confirmed the first strike by an unmanned Predator drone aircraft in Libya.

The Pentagon did not provide details of the target, but said that it occurred in the early afternoon local time.

Drones can hit military targets more easily in urban areas, minimising the risk of civilian casualties.

Earlier, Libya's government warned that tribes loyal to Col Muammar Gaddafi might take over the fight against the rebels in the western city of Misrata.

Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Kaim said the Libyan army was being withdrawn and suggested that the tribes would not show the same level of restraint over civilian casualties.

Libya: US to deploy armed drones

A small contribution, They feel that Gadaffys troops are dispersing ahead of the Airstrikes, running and hiding every time they hear the jets.

This is definitely gonna be a drawn out affair.

BBC
Armed US Predator drones are to carry out missions over Libya, Defence Secretary Robert Gates has said.

Mr Gates said their use had been authorised by President Barack Obama and would give "precision capability" to the military operation.

Unmanned US drones are already used to target militants along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

Libyan rebels have been battling Col Gaddafi's troops since February but have recently made little headway.

"President Obama has said that where we have some unique capabilities, he is willing to use those," Mr Gates told a news conference.

He said two Predators were being made available to Nato as needed, and marked a "modest contribution" to the military operations.

Gaddafi 'cluster bombing Misrata'

Cluster bombs are very effective at making a mess out of an area real quick, most countries don't use them anymore.
Gaddafi doesn't care what anyone thinks about what he does, he's a terrorist and politicians and other terrorist dictator type people will still love him.

So basically he will get a free pass on this one.


BBC
Pro-government forces in Libya have been accused by a human rights campaign group of using cluster bombs, which are banned by more than 100 countries.

Human Rights Watch said one of its photographers saw three mortar-launched projectiles explode over a residential area of Misrata.

A Libyan government spokesman denied the allegation.

Government troops have intensified their siege of Misrata, the only western Libyan city still in rebel hands.

The BBC's Orla Guerin reports from inside the battle-scarred city that local residents fear a massacre without greater action by Nato air forces to break the siege.

Gaddafi government accepts truce plan

Well ain't that special.

But unless Gaddafi steps down the rebels will not be happy.

It sounds like no one talked to the rebels in any of the negotiations, outsiders did all the talking with Gaddafi; not with anyone who started this whole pile of crap.

Supposedly they will have a little sit down today and the rebels will be told what they need to accept, you can probably bet this ain't over yet.


BBC
A rebel spokesman said any deal designed to keep Colonel Gaddafi or his sons in place would not be acceptable

South African President Jacob Zuma says the Libyan government has accepted an African Union peace proposal to end the eight-week-old conflict.

Mr Zuma's AU delegation met Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi in Tripoli on Sunday. An AU team is going to the eastern rebel stronghold of Benghazi.

But rebel spokesmen said there could be no truce unless Col Gaddafi stepped down and his forces withdrew.

In Ajdabiya, pro-Gaddafi forces have pushed back rebels in fierce fighting.

Nato says its planes destroyed 25 government tanks on Sunday alone.

The alliance said it had "taken note" of the AU initiative and welcomed efforts to save Libyan civilians.

Coalition air raids hit Gaddafi's birth place

The government said the air strikes gave the rebels an unfair advantage in the conflict and it accused international forces, now under Nato command, of going beyond the UN mandate to protect civilians.

What a joke, now it is unfair because the shoe is on the other foot!

Gadaffy did not have a problem when he was bombing the hell out of his people.



BBC
Backed by the airpower of Western forces, the rebels in Libya say that they have seized control of Sirte, the birthplace of Colonel Gaddafi.

This comes after they re-captured a string of towns over the weekend following US, British and French air strikes on government positions.

There were also at at least nine explosions overnight in the capital, Tripoli.

The government said the air strikes gave the rebels an unfair advantage in the conflict and it accused international forces, now under Nato command, of going beyond the UN mandate to protect civilians.

Allies Expand No-Fly Zone Over Libya

The Obamasiah has his hands full with this one, not that he wants any part of it; more from the pressure of his fellow politicians here in the states.
If any of this Libyan showdown goes downhill Obama will surely go with it.
And why can nobody decide on anything here? Qadaffy should stay? no, Qadaffy should go! I'm in charge now! no i'm in charge now! What a joke these assclowns can be.

The Wall Street Journal
The U.S. and its allies worked to expand the protective shield in the skies over Libya on Tuesday, while allies skirmished over who would take command of the continuing international operation.

Allied air patrols will soon cover the entire northern tier of Libya, enforcing last week's United Nations resolution authorizing military action to stop the Libyan leader from attacking civilian opponents, U.S. Gen. Carter Ham, current commander of the military campaign, said Monday.

The coalition would expand the no-fly zone from Benghazi, the eastern city that is the de facto capital of the beleaguered rebels, to the coastal oil-refinery city of Brega, to Misrata east of Tripoli, and eventually to Tripoli, he said.

Prime Minister David Cameron told Parliament on Monday that "coalition forces have largely neutralized Libyan air defenses and as a result the no-fly zone has effectively been put in place in Libya."

Gadhafi forces in disarray

"We believe his forces are under significant stress and suffering from both isolation and a good deal of confusion."

Confusion not necessarily from having their ass's handed to them so fast though.

anyway another nice job by the U.S. and a few friends, now it looks like it is up to the Rebels; we shall see if they can pull it together or not.

Anyone care to take bets on this one?


MSNBC.com
WASHINGTON — A U.S.-led coalition has succeeded in scattering and isolating Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi's forces after a weekend of punishing air attacks, Pentagon officials say.

Gadhafi is not a target of the campaign, a senior military official said Sunday, but he could not guarantee the Libyan leader's safety.

American military authorities are moving to hand control of the operation to other countries.

Navy Vice Adm. William E. Gortney, staff director for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a Pentagon news conference there is no evidence civilians in Libya have been harmed in the air assault, code named Odyssey Dawn. Gortney also said no allied planes have been lost and all pilots have returned safely from missions that used stealth B-2 bombers, jet fighters, more than 120 Tomahawk cruise missiles and other high-tech weapons.

"We judge these strikes to have been very effective in significantly degrading the regime's air defense capability," Gortney said. "We believe his forces are under significant stress and suffering from both isolation and a good deal of confusion."

war plane shot down over Benghazi

Qadaffy thought a cease fire was just for shooting people with guns, They did not say anything about a cease Bombing!






The Telegraph
Libyan rebels shot down the aircraft that was bombing their eastern stronghold, with the opposition accusing Muammar Gaddafi of ignoring the ceasefire and launching an air and sea assault.

The Libyan government has denied that their forces are involved in any military action in or around the eastern city.

Mussa Ibrahim, a government spokesman, said: "There are no attacks whatsoever on Benghazi. As we said, we are observing the ceasefire and we want international observers to come.

A little more on Libya!

The U.S. So far is staying out of this, France is spearheading it!

So good luck to them.


The New York Times
Eurocontrol, Europe’s air traffic control agency, said in Brussels on Friday that Libya had closed its airspace.

In Tripoli, government minders told journalists that they could not leave their hotel for their own safety, saying that in the aftermath of the United Nations vote, residents might attack or even shoot foreigners. The extent of the danger was unclear. On previous Fridays, the minders have sought to restrict foreign journalists so they could not cover demonstrations after midday prayers on the Muslim holy day.

Journalists who have used taxi cabs to sneak away from their minders say some of their drivers have been detained for several days or more. A government spokesman told journalists who inquired about the drivers that the journalists should not have put them at risk and nothing could be done.

On the ground, forces loyal to Colonel Qaddafi unleashed a barrage of fire against the rebel-held town of Misurata in the west of the country while one of the colonel’s sons, Seif el-Islam, was quoted as saying government forces would encircle the rebel stronghold of Benghazi in the east.

François Baroin, a French government spokesman, told RTL radio that airstrikes would come “rapidly, within a few hours” following the United Nations resolution late Thursday authorizing “all necessary measures” to impose a no-flight zone.

But he insisted the military action “is not an occupation of Libyan territory.” Rather, it was designed to protect the Libyan people and “allow them to go all the way in their drive, which means bringing down the Qaddafi regime.”

UN backs action against Gaddafi

Well they took there sweet ass time, now what?
I Think this is one everybody should stay out of! Qadaffy needs to go(Preferable with a bullet in his head) But it is sickening when once again we have to come in a bail out a Muslim country as the other Muslim countries around Libya sit back and cry like little bitches!
When is a Muslim country going to stand up and help another Muslim country?


BBC
The UN Security Council has backed a no-fly zone over Libya and "all necessary measures" to protect civilians short of an occupation.

It was not immediately clear what form intervention would take and when it would begin, though France signalled that action could start soon.

The resolution appears to give legal weight to attacks against Col Muammar Gaddafi's ground forces.

Col Gaddafi's forces have recently retaken several towns seized by rebels.

Rebel forces reacted with joy to the UN resolution in their Benghazi stronghold, but a government spokesman condemned UN "aggression".

Loyalist forces are bearing down on Benghazi, home to a million people.

Wikileaks cables reveal China 'ready to abandon North Korea'

Little Kimmie must feel so Ronery after hearing this.




Guardianuk
China has signalled its readiness to accept Korean reunification and is privately distancing itself from the North Korean regime, according to leaked US embassy cables that reveal senior Beijing figures regard their official ally as a "spoiled child".

News of the Chinese shift comes at a crucial juncture after the North's artillery bombardment of a South Korean island last week that killed four people and led both sides to threaten war. China has refused to condemn the North Korean action. But today Beijing appeared to bow to US pressure to help bring about a diplomatic solution, calling for "emergency consultations" and inviting a senior North Korean official to Beijing.

China's moves to distance itself from Kim are revealed in the latest tranche of leaked US embassy cables published by the Guardian and four international newspapers. Tonight, the US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, said the US "deeply regrets" the release of the material by WikiLeaks. They were an "attack on the international community", she said. "It puts people's lives in danger, threatens our national security and undermines efforts to work with other countries to solve shared problems," she told reporters at the state department.

N.Korea issues warning ahead of US-S.Korean exercises

"If the US brings its carrier to the West Sea of Korea (Yellow Sea) at last, no one can predict the ensuing consequences".

Sounds like a Threat, Does it not?
Good luck with that attitude Little Man.


smh.com.au
North Korea warned Saturday of "unpredictable consequences" if the United States and South Korea go ahead with naval exercises in the Yellow Sea, days after launching a deadly attack on the South.

The USS George Washington aircraft carrier and its battle group were planning four days of exercises with South Korea from Sunday as a show of force after Pyongyang stunned the world with its artillery strike.

South Korea names defense minister amid criticism

"(We) think nominee Kim, well-respected for professionalism and conviction, is the right person for the post in order to restore trust from people and boost morale in the entire military,"

Boost Morale of the Military.
You mean they are not going to sit on their hands anymore while their ass's are being handed to them?


(Reuters) - South Korea named a career soldier as its new defense minister on Friday amid mounting criticism of the government's response to Tuesday's attack by North Korea, its heaviest bombardment since the 1950-53 Korean War.

The move came hours after North Korea said that impending military exercises by the South and the United States were pushing the region toward conflict.

The presidential Blue House appointed Kim Kwan-jin, 61, former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, to replace Kim Tae-young, who had tried to resign the defense portfolio in May following criticism of the government's response to a torpedo attack on a South Korean warship blamed on the North.

"(We) think nominee Kim, well-respected for professionalism and conviction, is the right person for the post in order to restore trust from people and boost morale in the entire military," presidential secretary Hong Sang-pyo told a news briefing.

NKorea threatens continued strikes on South

Uh Oh.
What now, will this blatant attack and act of war go unanswered again?

How many times is South Korea gonna take a beating and keep on doing nothing.


The Washington Post
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea bombarded a South Korean island near their disputed western border with artillery Tuesday, setting buildings ablaze and killing at least one marine after warning the South to halt military drills in the area, South Korean officials said.

South Korea said it returned fire and scrambled fighter jets in response, and said the "inhumane" attack on civilian areas violated the 1953 armistice halting the Korean War. The two sides technically remain at war because a peace treaty was never negotiated.


SEOUL, South Korea -- North Korea is threatening to continue launching strikes against South Korea if it violates their disputed sea border "even 0.001 millimeter."

North Korea's supreme military command said Tuesday that it would "launch merciless military retaliatory strikes."

The warning was carried by North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency.

U.N. urged to set up panel on ethics of robot weapons

"serious concerns that have been almost entirely unexamined by human rights or humanitarian actors."

Humanitarian Actors ? You mean like Angelina Jolie and Sean Penn ? How about George Clooney ! Or are they talking about Humanitarian Actors like Ahmadinejad , Chavez and Fidel Castro ?

Humanitarian Actors my Ass !

Why does not the U.N. start a panel of "Actors" that discuss all the suicide bombings,Beheading's,Stoning's,and Honor Killings and Amputations that happen on a daily basis in the Muslim world !

The Useless Nations has turned it's ways towards global role reversal. The good guys are now the bad and the people who actually commit atrocities against Human Beings are the New good guys !




(Reuters) - A U.N. investigator called on the world body on Friday to set up a panel to study the ethics and legality of unmanned military weapons -- an apparent reference to U.S. drones that strike suspected Islamist militants.

In a report to the U.N. General Assembly human rights committee, Christof Heyns said such systems raised "serious concerns that have been almost entirely unexamined by human rights or humanitarian actors."

"The international community urgently needs to address the legal, political, ethical and moral implications of the development of lethal robotic technologies," said Heyns, U.N. special rapporteur on extrajudicial executions.

It was the second time this year U.N. experts tackled the issue. In June, Heyns' predecessor, Philip Alston, called for a halt to CIA-directed drone strikes on al Qaeda and Taliban suspects in Afghanistan and Pakistan, saying killings ordered far from the battlefield could lead to a "Playstation" mentality.

US says China's military has seen secret expansion

China has been upgrading its land-based missiles, expanding its submarine force and nuclear arsenal, the Pentagon's annual report to Congress said.

China on the move again !

And expanding it's nuclear arsenal ? Oh That must be why the Obamasiah wants to reduce our Nuclear arsenal , to Make it easy for China to take over the World !

BBC
The growth of China's military is shrouded in secrecy which could give rise to "misunderstanding and miscalculation", a US defence department report says.

China has been upgrading its land-based missiles, expanding its submarine force and nuclear arsenal, the Pentagon's annual report to Congress said.

It also said that China has extended its military advantage over Taiwan.

The report confirms US concerns about the rapid growth of China's military.
