3 U.S. Marines shot in Mexico

Three U.S. Marines were injured in a shooting south of Mexico City on Friday morning, a Mexican military official told CNN Mexico.

The motive behind the attack on the American servicemen, who were on a diplomatic mission, was not immediately known.

Unknown gunmen inside what was described as a Mexican federal police vehicle fired upon a U.S. Embassy vehicle that carried the U.S. servicemen, said the official, who declined to be named for security reasons.

The injured Marines were transported to a hospital in Cuernavaca, Mexico.

      I so agree with you and have said same in the past. I think any politician who will not deport these folks and all their family back need to be voted out. The taxpayers are not responsible for every ill in this world. Time has come we vote for the change we need and make them hear us for once and for all. Peacefully. See you at the polls when we retire some of these dems and rino's.

    Now it makes sense why Sarah has been dodging the media. Many stories regarding her don't allow commenting either.

    I wish CNN would include in the headline something about this being security for a U.S. diplomat. That way it would not sound like the U.S. Marines are invading Mexico. The last thing America needs is another country resenting us for what they percieve is our "Yankee Imperialism". We're already running trillion dollar deficits as it is. We can't afford to be the World's policeman anymore. Leave Mexico to the Mexicans.

      That would be great if the Mexicans would follow the same slogan, "Leave America to the Americans."

    Wow, CNN is the place you want to come to read intelligent, polite, tolerant and informative comments ....

    Other that the fact that they are trying to be rude, it is hard to tell what most of these posters are even trying to say.
