  2. This goverment follows well known USA steps of teror.
    They do not want to have drug close to ttheir border, but will make sex trafficing (white slaves) and drug center in Kosovo on Serbian land!
    Did Mexicans signed the same agrement with USA (like Canada) that USA Army can intervene in any occasion? Good for USA and bad for those countries..

  4. This is insanely stupid! The US doesn’t need another foreign policy disaster. How dumb can US officials be? My sources in Mexico assure me the reason for Calderon’s crackdown on the long established drug industry in Mexico is because he is taking control of it for himself, and that he is just as corrupt as any of the previous presidents.

    Obeyme is displaying his unworldliness and gullibility by listening to ill informed paranoid military men and even more paranoid ineffective “drug War” (can we say pissing money away war?) idjits.
