“Very sad and hugely significant that this truth had to come from freaking Al Jazeera”
I agree. I hesitated before even posting the video because it came from Al Jazeera but, as you aptly point out, it is covering the horrific violence by the drug cartels much better than our own media.
Another ironic aspect of the video: When it suited the whim of Mexy drug cartels to shut down the border from the southern side, the task was accomplished with breath-taking speed; they simply drove tractor-trailors across the highway, stopped them, and began shooting folks who tried to circumvent the barrier.
But for the US government, who must fill welfare rolls of the left and the assembly lines of the right (while ignorning US workers), well the task IS ALL VERY COMPLEX, NOW ISN’T IT.
Half-illiterate Mexy pistoleros with bad hair-cuts can do easily what all our King’s horses and men claim they are puzzled by.
One side has the means and not the will, while the other has DOES have that will.
