National Guard unit stormed while patroling the border
Border attack raises security concerns

A U.S. Border Patrol entry Identification Team site was overrun Wednesday night along Arizona's border with Mexico.

According to the Border Patrol, an unknown number of gunmen attacked the site in the state's West Desert Region around 11 p.m. The site is manned by National Guardsmen. Those guardsmen were forced to retreat.


The Border Patrol will not say whether shots were fired. However, no Guardsmen were injured in the incident.

The Border Patrol says the incident occurred somewhere along the 120 mile section of the border between Nogales and Lukeville. The area is known as a drug corridor. Last year, 124-thousand pounds of illegal drugs were confiscated in this area.

The Border patrol says the attackers quickly retreated back into Mexico.

And we are interested because......?

So is it like this:
A guard squad got attacked. Noone was injured. The attackers fled.
DEAR GOD NO! AMERICA IS DOOMED, UNLESS WE USE NUKES NOW!

Huh? This article doesn't even make sense.

If this was indeed an "attack", why won't the Border Patrol say if shots were fired? Isn't "shots fired" fairly implied if you're saying you were attacked, forced to retreat, and ended up forcing the attackers back?

It almost sounds to me like the truth of this story has just been exaggerated to the point where it has been made to sound like, "The Mexicans are coming! Run! Hide!"

[Edit: Oh, and TB... please tell me you were kidding by the "America under attack" heading.]

Yeah that's a touchy quote to use right now

Wait, were you actually expecting TB to not have a ridiculously overexaggerated comment attached to his copy-&-paste?
And you have been on this forum for how long?
