The ABC analysis ignores the difference between a police department dealing with a crime wave and a military force dealing with an insurrection.
Police are constrained to use minimum necessary force and to treat each perpetrator as an individual suspect. While the police are investigating and arresting individual criminals, the crime wave continues beyond their control
Once the decision has been made that it is no longer just a crime wave and that it has to be treate as an insurrection then military doctrine supplants police doctrime. That means that instead of using minimum necessary force, maximum available force is brought to bear.
Military doctrine has a clearer distinction between force and violence. Maximizing the early application of force has as its main purpose the suppression of violence.
In other words, if the deployed military is competent, there is an inverse relationship between force and violence.

Meanwhile our dunce parties, flits around as if campaigning, talks to the next ones on terror lists.
LOL, were you at Clovis?

Since Vicente Fox is such a fun guy, why not give him a gun and badge so that he can go into Juarez to clean up the mess that he started???????? Politicians are not much different in Mexico than they are here!
“In other words, if the deployed military is competent...”
Doomed.
I have seen their military...they are NOT comparable to our guys patrolling in Bagdad.
Hell, I have even seen their military on our side of the border riding about in jeeps and acting as fools.
>Who knows good guy from bad guy in that incestuous relationship?
Hey, at least the Mexican government is HONEST about its corruption; unlike here where it’s “if you get caught”.
Yeah, Obama will order US troops to escort illegal aliens to safety in US

The streets in Juarez used to be full of soldiers from Ft Bliss....not any more....you don’t see any of them there any more. And all the night spots are boarded up...lack of customers I suppose.
Good Luck!

WASHINGTON — As many as 200 U.S.-trained Mexican security personnel have defected to drug cartels to carry out killings on both sides of the border and as far north as Dallas, Rep. Ted Poe, R-Humble, told Congress on Wednesday.

The renegade members of Mexico's elite counter-narcotics teams trained at Fort Benning, Ga., have switched sides, contributing to a wave of violence that has claimed some 6,000 victims over the past 30 months, including prominent law enforcement leaders, the Houston-area Republican told the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Nine headless bodies found
Sun Nov 30, 2008 4:59pm EST
TIJUANA, Mexico (Reuters) - Nine decapitated bodies were discovered on Sunday in the Mexican border city of Tijuana, a hot spot in an increasingly gruesome war between drug cartels.
The bodies, along with their removed heads, had been left in a vacant lot beside a factory, witnesses and police told reporters.
Mexico is facing spiraling drug violence, especially along its border with the United States. Cities like Tijuana, south of San Diego, are seeing horrendous levels of crime, with bodies set on fire, cut up and dumped in acid and strung over highways.
Beheadings, kidnappings and daylight shootings have become common as vicious drug cartels fight over smuggling routes into the United States.
President Felipe Calderon has sent some 40,000 troops and federal police across Mexico to try to stop the killings. But despite major drug seizures and arrests, the killings continue.
A recent battle in the streets had many young school kids running in Tijuana.
Because this is south of Calif. it doesn’t count because Calif. doesn’t count in most people’s world
I’m a nite owl...up to the wee hours most nights.
I live on a small ranch in New Mexico....just outside the El Paso county limits. A few nights ago I was out back sittin in the yard while the dog did his business....I heard something that sounded like a 2-cycle moped up in the air to the west....ran in the house and got this huge spotlight and pointed it in the direction of the sound...it was a dark colored ultralight zipping along about 500ft above the ground. It’s illegal to fly an ultralight in the dark.....so something interesting was going on. The thing continued east till it went out of sight.
