Mexican Military Holds US Border Guard at Gunpoint In Arizona (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/aug/06/soldiers-cross-into-us-hold-guns-to-agent/)
A U.S. Border Patrol agent was held at gunpoint Sunday night by members of the Mexican military who had crossed the border into Arizona, but the soldiers returned to Mexico without incident when backup agents responded to assist.
Agents assigned to the Border Patrol station at Ajo, Ariz., said the Mexican soldiers crossed the international border in an isolated area about 100 miles southwest of Tucson and pointed rifles at the agent, who was not identified.
It was unclear what the soldiers were doing in the United States, but U.S. law enforcement authorities have long said that current and former Mexican military personnel have been hired to protect drug and migrant smugglers.
"Unfortunately, this sort of behavior by Mexican military personnel has been going on for years," union Local 2544 of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) said on its Web page. "They are never held accountable, and the United States government will undoubtedly brush this off as another case of 'Oh well, they didn't know they were in the United States.'

Doesn't that legally count as an act of war ?

Yes, but.......
the Bush regime is deep in bed with Mexico. McLame isn't any better. Obama, well........ he'd just as soon "talk" to them instead of taking the offense as seriously as it should be. How many "acts of war" do we need before our Government will act?? Perhaps one of the border states could activate their National Guard and defend their territory ??

Not unless they were actually sent in by the Mexican government for military action against us. If they were working free-lance for smugglers, that's a bit outside their military duties.
