Defanged by the Posse

Over at Lone Star Times yesterday, the official response to the border incursion in Arizona was posted. If I had to make a wild guess, some individual is misapplying the Posse Comitatus act to severely curtail the Guard’s response. However, if the Guard is not supposed to repel armed incursions into the U.S., why is the Guard in existence? Maybe I’m confused, but I always thought that was a primary mission of the Guard.

In any event, the US government should be raising holy hell about this with the Mexicans. I still think the appropriate response is pursuit and engagement, but that’s just me…
