US Army report states that America may be forced to intervene in Mexico to prevent the country from collapsing at the hands of organised crime and drug cartels.
The report compiled by the army’s highest command has placed Mexico alongside Pakistan as possible failed states of the future. The report states: “Two large and important states bear consideration for rapid and sudden collapse: Pakistan and Mexico.”
Mexico has a population of 110 million and shares a two thousand mile border with America. It also is next to the smuggling routes linking the US with the drug-growing areas of South America such as Columbia, which is still the world’s biggest source of cocaine.
Mexico already provides America with more migrants than any other country and would be the obvious destination for massive refugees if the country descended into civil war. The report states: “Any descent by Mexico into chaos would

NOW can we control the border?
Pretty please???
Black Jack (can we still say that?) Pershing, please pickup the white courtesy phone!
Where’s the “report”?
What’s the title of the “report”?
Is this another BS post about an Army War College thesis?
Is this another BS post that takes one paragraph from a 50 page thesis and calls it a “report” about a “military plan”?
Just a thought: If the US Army ever did cross the Mexican border, which way do you suppose the “displaced persons” would go? I suspect “North”.

Heck. We’d truck them to del Norté!
No kidding. I think that this is nothing more than a theoretical study.
That said, Mexico IS unstable...why else would so many people literally risk their lives to get out? We MAY be forced to intervene, someday.
Don’t hold your breath, though, expecting old hopey-changey to do this. Many of his future voters might be killed.
Zactly Right!
They just had their sentences commuted, BTW...
Well, if the Anointed One pulls out of Iraq, there will be some military capability that could be called into use.
So, which will be the 51st state? Mexico, Puerto Rico, or Canada?
What you mean prevent, Kemo Sabe?
This may be BO’s Vietnam.
Rumor has it we will be offering 80 million Mexicans politcal asylum with the right to come and settle in America. The plan is still being worked on but President Bush has most of the details worked out. /Sarcasm? I’m not really sure
I say we deal with it and have more than 50 states.
“So, which will be the 51st state? Mexico, Puerto Rico, or Canada?”
Why don’t we just merge them all together, throw in Guam, Virgin Islands, Panama, Costa Rico, Guatamala, El Salvador, etc., and make them all the 51st State? Better yet, merge them with California, and make them part of California, since it’s a lost cause anyway.
Be fun to watch the loon’s heads explode when Zero has to invade Mexico!
He is going to attack the Red States.
Sounds like another form of bail-out for all the investors in Mexico. They put all their money into out-sourcing to Mexico and they don't want to see their investments burned to the ground. I say seal the border with the US military and let it burn.
I think history will prove you needn’t have claimed “/Sarcasm” in your post.
