Relations between the United States and its southern neighbor Mexico have taken a tenser stance after the American consulate in Nuevo Laredo was bombed Friday night and several US lawmakers have had their lives threatened by Mexican drug gang lords.
The bombing happened at 11pm Friday night local time and shattered windows. No-one was hurt, officials report. The consulate said in a statement it “will reopen when we are confident that we have adequate security to keep our visitors safe.”
The incident comes after the shooting deaths last month of three people, including two Americans, linked to the U.S. consulate in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, another town beset by violence and drug trafficking.
Meanwhile, five South Texas lawmakers report having received death threats from the Zeta Mexican drug cartel. It is believed the threats are a response to increased patrols on the US-Mexican border, making drug smuggling more difficult for the cartel.
The incidents have renewed fears that violent Mexican drug traffickers may be targeting the US government, which has supported Mexican President Felipe Calderon’s anti-drug crusade.

Let’s deport Cesar Millan, “The Dog Whisperer” in response to these unprovoked attacks. That should help to offset the trade imbalance.
Mexico is in a de-facto state of civil war. What will it take to get Gov. Perry to call out the National Guard? Will there be American bodies laying in the streets before its over?
No, let’s send Obama over there to extend his “unclenched fists–nuclear disarmamented” himself. I’m sure he’ll add even more to the confusion as he threatens the drug lords and tries to put the Chicago screws to them. Oh yeah! That’s right. Mexico isn’t Israel and the cold blooded drug mafioso wouldn’t hear more than “CHANGE”.. . I just want to know WHO is in the wings pulling Obama Hussein’s strings..because obviously he does not care about what a “FOOLish” person/prez he proves that he is with every anti-Christ, -left-liberal decision he -(someone?)-makes. Oh I know the “ORIGIN”..I just wonder who the puppeteer is. Be prepared because the Lord isn’t gonna ignore what Obama is doing to Israel. Watch out for some major “storms” in the USA. God will NOT be mocked.

Gee, and here the stupid, gullible, uneducated, ignorant American voters thought that the world was going to love us once they elected that America-hating Marxist as president. His election only emboldened our enemies. North Korea, China, Russia, Venezuela, Iran, Afghanistan, and the rest of the muslim world have all told us to go fuck ourselves, while Hussein Obama continues his world apology tours as he bows before dictators and tyrants.
The price of gasoline has gone up by $1.35 a gallon since he became president (the Liberal/Marxist media silence is deafening), and it will only be another four weeks before we start paying $3.75 a gallon. His solution?!!…..HE DOESN’T HAVE ONE, NOR DOES HE GIVE A RAT’S ASS!
