Rep Sandy Adams Grills Holder Over Fast and Furious Operation (Watch Nervous DOJer Behind Holder) YouTube December 8, 2011 Representative Sandy Adams During a recent Judiciary Committee hearing, Adams sought answers on Fast and Furious. VIDEO Watch the DOJ guy behind Holder's right shoulder after the Sandy Adams asks Holder about his PERSONAL e-mail about Fast & Furious at the 4:50 mark. Soon after the 5 minute mark that DOJ guy becomes incredibly agitated to the point of rocking back and forth and even jumping off his seat. If one didn't know better, one would think he had dropped a load in his pants. The video then cuts away from Holder but when it comes back you can see the DOJ guy had AGAIN completely left his seat and was plopping back down into it. Also notice later in the video when he is first grabbing his thumb and then nervously rubbing his hand. I've seen this DOJ guy at all of Holder's appearances before the Congressional Committee. Until now he has seemed very impervious and calm. This moment recorded here was a STARK contrast to his previous demeanor. He literally JUMPED out of his seat when Congresswoman Adams asked Holder about his PERSONAL emails to Lanny Brueuer and another DOJ person. And WHO is that DOJ guy behind Holder who looked like he was in dire need of a Depends when Adams asked her question? 1 posted on Sunday, December 11, 2011 7:00:25 PM by PJ-Comix

Although it has been awhile the last time I waded across at that point, we had rocks thrown at us by the Mexicans so we just waded right back to Texas soil. No doubt it is a poor village....makes it a perfect place for drug runners IMO.

Obama to slash National Guard force on U.S.-Mexico border By Stephen Dina - The Washington Times washingtontimes.com, December 12, 2011 Blaming budget cuts, the Obama administration early next year will cut the number of National Guard troops patrolling the U.S.- Mexico border by at least half, according to a congressman who was briefed on the plan. The National Guard said an announcement will be made by the White House “in the near future,” but Rep. Duncan Hunter, a California Republican who has learned of the plans, said slashing the deployment in half is the minimum number, and he said it will mean reshuffling the remaining troops along the nearly 2,000-mile border. In California, that will mean going from 264 Guard troops down to just 14, he said. Mr. Hunter said the pending cuts are another reason Congress and President Obama should revisit the automatic defense spending reductions that kicked in with the failure last month of the deficit super-committee to reach a broader spending deal. “What’s apparent now is that a decision not to continue their deployment, even though it might be in the national interest to do so, would be based entirely on budget constraints on the Defense Department,” Mr. Hunter said. Mr. Obama deployed 1,200 guard troops to the border in June 2010 in an effort to bolster the U.S. Border Patrol and try to prevent the growing drug violence in Mexico from spilling into the U.S. He charged the National Guard with aiding in intelligence-gathering and other backup duties, though troops have not been actually enforcing immigration laws. The troops were scheduled to be drawn down this June, but Mr. Obama extended their deployment, saying there was still work to be done. The troops were meant to be a bridge to beef up support staffing while the Border Patrol hired more agents under a bill Congress passed early in his term. In 2006 President George W. Bush sent 6,000 National Guard troops to the border. Republican 2012 presidential hopefuls have routinely slammed the Obama administration for not doing enough to secure the borders.
