Maybe his computer doesn't speak Espanol.  (Apparently mine doesn't either since I can figure out how to use the enya in the comments box.)

Somebody is not paying attention.  (That would be ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ guys.)

Islamic terrorist groups are operating in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez and planning to attack the United States with car bombs or other vehicle born improvised explosive devices (VBIED). High-level federal law enforcement, intelligence and other sources have confirmed to Judicial Watch that a warning bulletin for an imminent terrorist attack on the border has been issued.  Agents across a number of Homeland Security, Justice and Defense agencies have all been placed on alert and instructed to aggressively work all possible leads and sources concerning this imminent terrorist threat.

Specifically, Judicial Watch sources reveal that the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) is confirmed to now be operating in Juarez, a famously crime-infested narcotics hotbed situated across from El Paso, Texas. Violent crimes are so rampant in Juarez that the U.S. State Department has issued a number of travel warnings for anyone planning to go there. The last one was issued just a few days ago.

Intelligence officials have picked up radio talk and chatter indicating that the terrorist groups are going to “carry out an attack on the border,” according to one JW source.  “It’s coming very soon,” according to this high-level source, who clearly identified the groups planning the plots as “ISIS and Al Qaeda.” An attack is so imminent that the commanding general at Ft. Bliss, the U.S. Army post in El Paso, is being briefed, another source confirms. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) did not respond to multiple inquiries from Judicial Watch, both telephonic and in writing, about this information.

The disturbing inside intelligence comes on the heels of news reports revealing that U.S. intelligence has picked up increased chatter among Islamist terror networks approaching the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. While these terrorists reportedly plan their attack just outside the U.S., President Obama admits that “we don’t have a strategy yet” to combat ISIS. “I don’t want to put the cart before the horse,” the commander-in-chief said this week during a White House press briefing. “I think what I’ve seen in some of the news reports suggest that folks are getting a little further ahead of what we’re at than what we currently are.”

The administration has also covered up, or at the very least downplayed, a serious epidemic of crime along the Mexican border even as heavily armed drug cartels have taken over portions of the region. Judicial Watch has reported that the U.S. Border Patrol actually ordered officers to avoid the most crime-infested stretches because they’re “too dangerous” and patrolling them could result in an “international incident” of cross border shooting. In the meantime, who could forget the famous words of Obama’s first Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano; the southern border is “as secure as it has ever been.”

These new revelations are bound to impact the current debate about the border crisis and immigration policy.

Most web browsers have a 'Special Characters' extension or add-on. Simply type 'special characters' and you'll find options. In fact, type anything and you will find options. Welcome to the brave new world.

Sorry, there are probably dozens of ways to get the correct accent marks or other idiosyncratic aspects of foreign text into your text, including writing your response in the average word processing file and then pasting the text into the comment. Or you can copy and paste such items from another article and paste same into your system 'word pad' or 'notes' application. Most keyboards have an option key or alternate keyboard layout for the more common diacritic alternatives. There are always alternatives, usually multiple variations, for doing anything on a computer. Computers are just calculators which have evolved to enable infinite variation.

“I don’t want to put the cart before the horse,”
 
Good idea in the bad old days. Today, however, it is OK to put the cart before an Abrams M1A2.

I read that too. The part about the Border Patrol not patrolling part of the border because it's dangerous is amusing. That's they're job-that's where they are actually needed. American police, especially the numerous, newish federal police forces are beyond worthless

If the US puts Border Patrol into the cartels favorite trafic lanes the cartels will fight. They may shoot or send rock throwing marters or do both in togher. The information warfare effect of those cartel options is so unecetable to polittical masters that Border Patrol is ordered to abandon the border. Sure they drive around and look like they are working but when the cartels pick an area they can push Border Patrol out of it. I realy hope that isn't the case. If it is true the U.S. is going to pay a huge price. Northern Mexicos ppresent is our future?
