I bet the hand grenades came from an Arizona gun show, through the Loophole!

[scan59]

nearly 10 tons of marijuana, a machine gun, scores of assault rifles and three grenades

Person could have a pretty good time in Las Vegas with all that!

(Vaugely remembered line from Dr. Strangelove.)

But, but.... oh, just see my tagline.

Inside, they found the marijuana, 89 assault rifles, more than 80,000 rounds of ammunition and a host of other weapons

ah, finally, a real arsenal. not this 3 handguns and 100 rounds of ammo is an arsenal crap.

Many security experts criticize the crackdown, saying it has in fact increased drug-related violence in some states.

Right, atta boy! Lets cut down on the violence by letting the criminals run amuck. That’ll fix it.

That lack of thinking reminds me of the “logic” of beating democrats with a “hold your nose” vote.

Yea, right, that will work, uh-huh.

“....Felipe Calderon has used the military to battle drug trafficking,...”

....it would be interesting to run the serial numbers on the confiscated guns....see if the Mex army sold them to the drug runners....or if they came from overseas...anybody remember Sandinistas armed with M-16s that had been captured by the Viet Cong?

don’t worry, President McCain will ‘secure the border’ so these kind of caches won’t be an issue in the future.

the free flow of trade and commerce in drugs and illegals must not be impeded, at any cost.

Mexican soldiers seize arsenal in drug raid on border

A dog and pony show to help Bush justify the $1 Billion he wants to send to Mexico, supposedly to help fight the drug cartels.

Of course the money will go directly into the corrupt government cronies pockets, but hey, at least it's only a $Billion for Bush's buddies in Mexico.

McCain is the REAL Manchurian Candidate!
