At the end of the article, Mexico officials blame all the problem on US:

“These groups easily get into their hands assault rifles and weapons that are coming from the U.S.,” he said, adding that although Mexico respects the rights of Americans under the U.S. Constitution, “the Second Amendment was never meant to arm foreign criminal groups.”

MEXICO'S CITIZENS DESERVE THE 2nd amendment!

If we had a border policy, it wouldn’t be an issue.

The results of the Chamber of Commerce and Mexican pressure groups have allowed this to happen...

No turning back now, unless we revolt and begin deporting them ourselves.

[demshateGod]

And Mexicans were never meant to easily breech our border to obtain this weapons.

I sure hope we don’t commit any troops para fijación La Problemas De Mexico.

“These groups easily get into their hands assault rifles and weapons that are coming from the U.S.,” he said...

Yes, that's the party line in the States as well. Meanwhile the bad guys are duking it out with RPG's and full-auto AK's. It turns out that nobody dumb enough to repeat that line is smart enough to know the difference, or cares to.

"We don't need U.S. troops to intervene in drug war"

This is what happens when weak US leaders ask instead of tell.

Mexico’s attorney general said Tuesday he sees no need for U.S. troops to ... to gear up for a spillover of violence across the border.

Sorry Hoss, but we'll make that decision. Unfortunately the Zero in charge will decide to surrender.

Let the land owners on our side of the border defend their land and if need be, have the border patrol and National Guard assist them. Perry is a pawn, soon to be replaced by Kay Bailey Hutchinson

"We don't need U.S. troops to intervene in drug war"

Then you better damn well take care of the problem yourselves.

[Kakaze]

Build a wall, arm those on the wall.

[dfwgator]

Mexico’s attorney general said Tuesday he sees no need for U.S. troops to intervene in his country’s war on drug cartels, nor to gear up for a spillover of violence across the border.

Pretty soon, at the rate things are going, it ain't gonna be your call Senor Attorney General.

[He who knoweth not his name]

So, they were able to hear him above the gunfire and explosions? He must have alltell.

[SENTINEL]

Just mine the border and be done with it.

“...the Second Amendment was never meant to arm foreign or domestic criminals.”

The Second Amendment was never meant to arm criminals foreign or domestic. Mexico's citizens can not own a weapon to defend themselves, only the Military and law enforcement along with druggies and gangs are armed....where is the logic in that? Arm your civilians Attorney General.

[Responsibility2nd]

Unfortunately the Zero in charge will decide to surrender.

Decide to surrender? Sadly I see that as a first option among many so-called FReepers who are Liberaltarians and who see the WOD as a failure. So the best option (for them) is to legalize drugs and start taxing the dope.

I wish to God Jim Rob would do a bug zapper thread for liberaltarians.

(Remember the great zot thread that drove away the Rudy-tootie supporters?)

[RC2]

Put in a DMZ on the border and mine it. Tell them it is mined and it is their decision whether to cross the DMZ or not.

[TheKidster]

Legalize it and take the profit out of the black market monopoly the cartels currently enjoy via prohibition. Produce drugs here in the US, tax them distribute like alcohol and put some of the WOD money into treatment and education and give the taxpayer the rest back. Then the violence will subside, demand will go down and we can all be adults who determine what we put into our own bodies and face the consequences while enjoying liberty.

[CarryingOn]

It may have reassured the Mexican attorney general to learn that American’s are cowards, from the American attorney general.

[A CA Guy]

Mexico needs to execute all the criminals in federal, state and city governments working as employees as an example of all to come just for starters.

[wac3rd]

Obama WANTS 100,000 new voters who 80% voted Democratic in 2008, do you think he will do ANYTHING to stop AMNESTY? He wants a permanent Marxist society we all have to live in.

POWER is the Liberal game, not compassion, which they espouse.

“We don’t need US troops to intervene...”
“...because we are making a great profit from this war, and our own troops are running it just like we want them to”!
