Obama's Non-Border Enforcement

The vandals have not been identified; there's no reason to assume they are not Americans. The warning to be heeded here is not about failure to control the border, it is about the fragility and vulnerability of our infrastructure, if it can be damaged that much that easily. But fixing that is an engineering problem, not a law-enforcement problem.

Obama's continued existence as the POTUS may be responsible for vetteman's hemorrhoids, or it may be responsible for WW1, or it may be the reason winter is characterized by cooler weather.

Or vetteman may be trying to create a link between unrelated events to justify whatever it is he's trying to justify.

Or it may be that vetteman is just a lonely man who continually starts these threads to get attention he otherwise lacks.

Using the word may is also a nifty was to worm away from the issue. "I never said that!"

No reason not to either, as the article reports:

"The cable is located in a desert area north of Phoenix, meaning it is not a site routinely accessed by passersby.

“It’s a desert area, so it’s very remote, extremely remote,”

An area likely accessed by illegal border crossers.

So your premise is basically, in absence of any actual information, you get to make shit up. This is a logical fallacy known as the argument for ignorance.
We don't know, therefore (insert wild ass speculation and assume it's the truth until proven otherwise). The only problem (and it's a BIG problem) is anything other than, "we're trying to gather facts and make an educated guess based on the evidence" is bullshit.

And the area where the incident happened is well north of the boarder (actually it's north & east of Phoenix), so your second premise that it's area likely accessed by boarder crossers doesn't hold up.

Compare and contrast this thread with Vette's thread about DHS not being important.


A stark view into Bizzaro-World.

North of Phoenix? More likely it was a runaway llama.

No, an area likely accessed by illegal border crossers would be a desert area south of Phoenix, where the border is.

Vandalism in Arizona Shut Down Internet, Cellphone, Telephone Service Across State
Incident raises concerns a domestic or international terrorist could tamper with U.S. infrastructure

BY: Adam Kredo
February 27, 2015 5:00 am

Cellphone, Internet, and telephone services across half of Arizona went dark on Wednesday after vandals sliced a sensitive fiber optic cable, according to those familiar with the situation. The incident is raising concerns about the safety of U.S. infrastructure.

The outage shut down critical services across large parts of the state, preventing individuals from using their phones, bank and ATM cards, and the Internet. Critical services, such as police and state government databases, as well as banks and hospitals, also were affected as a result of the vandalism.

The services first went dead around noon MST on Wednesday, causing complete service interruptions across half the state, from Phoenix to such northern cities as Sedona, Prescott, and Cotton Wood, according to an official from CenturyLink, the Louisiana-based communications company that owns the severed line.

It will happen and then the Democrat Terrorist Butt Boys will wither away.

Interesting. Because the lede says:

AUSTIN - The deployment of additional state police and Texas National Guard troops to the southern border last June has reduced illegal border crossings but cost more than $100 million and compromised the Department of Public Safety's ability to combat crimes elsewhere, according to an internal DPS assessment prepared for Gov. Greg Abbott and lawmakers.

By comparing him favorably to Litsters who can't ever remember to wipe the drool off their chins?!

. . . Well, yes, all things considered, I guess I have. Sorry.

For instance, I was into my third tour running patrols ambushing the VC and the North Vietnamese Army before RobDownSouth crapped his first diaper, yet he sets himself up as an authority on what went on in Vietnam, the Marine Corps, all the while belittling the sacrifice of Americans who served there on the basis of what he heard, read, or imagined. A very poor substitute for actual eye witness experience.

And what does a soldier ever know about the war he's fighting? Even in battle, he only knows what is going on in his little corner of the battlefield. The important things, the strategic thing and the political things, are always better-known to higher-ups, historians and pundits.

Not so. Maybe that might be true in the beginning of first tour of a lowly Private. You allow your own anti-military bias to cloud your understanding of reality. Marines I served with were well informed about their tactical purpose, mission, and how they fit into the general overall strategy. They were not sitting next to LBJ making war policy, but were in prime position to judge it's effectiveness, and we did. Our commanders regularly visited our fighting positions in the field to inspect and educate Marines in the field as to why they were doing what they were doing, and what was expected of them.

The best and most informative books on Vietnam were written by lower ranked Marines, namely Phil Caputo, James Webb, Charles Anderson. Some of the best books on the Pacific War in WWII were written by lower ranked enlisted Marines like William Manchester, E.B. Sledge, and Robert Lecki. All people who were actually there, people who were drenched in the blood, bone, shit and fear of real warfare.

Horse shit.

Line personnel are told only what they need to know in order to accomplish their very small part of a campaign. "We have to defend this hill." "Our mission is to clear the area of hostile forces without getting all of our asses shot off." They aren't told nor encouraged to ask "Why" because they don't need to know.

War is chess, the pawns aren't in on the overall strategy. A pawn cannot judge the effectiveness of strategy based on their limited view of the overall battle. What may seem like a stupid move by the sacrificial pawn may be strategically brilliant.
