Mexican mayhem: Does the US have a duty to protect?
NY Post ^ | May 16, 2011 | Benny Avni

Posted on 05/16/2011 3:54:03 AM PDT by lowbridge

If we have a "responsibility to protect" the people of Libya, who are dying by the thousands, how can that same re sponsibility not apply to our southern neighbor, where the war between the drug lords and the government has killed nearly 40,000 people and is even producing mass graves?

Last week, in El Paso, Texas, President Obama tried to appeal to Hispanics by addressing issues like America's porous borders and his sympathies for Mexicans who come here in search of work. But his concern stopped at the border.

The carnage in Mexico, including most prominently just a few miles south of the border, merited not one presidential word.

The foolhardy War on Drugs will be the end of Mexico if this keeps up.

We have a responsibility to protect our own citizens and noone else. This R2P policy is nothing more than a sham that will eventually be used to force us into a war with Israel as Obama will be moved with the responsiblity to protect Arabs.

WHAT IS THE MERIDA INITIATIVE? The US Congress passed legislation in late June 2008 to provide Mexico with $400 million and Central American countries with $65 million that year for the Mérida Initiative---to fight drug wars. The initiative was announced 22 Oct 2007 and signed into law June 30, 2008.

THE FACTS ARE THESE : Mexico is calculatedly staging the "war on drugs" and other border violence -- with a hidden agenda--to loot the United States treasury. Using deceit and guile, Mexico has infiltrated the US political system, from domestic to foreign policy, as well as L/E. The Mexican govt is sending millions of Reconquista shock troops from Third Worlds over the border (illegal aliens) coaching them about taking over the US system.

Mexico is the staging area for Central and South American Third World illegals to stream over the border into the US.

==============================

Central America and Mexico are conning the US -----extorting US tax dollars to support Marxist/terrorist movement via the Merida Initiative----a despicable con to arm its police and military using US tax dollars to protect terrorists and drug cartels who are moving across the border into the US.

============================================

Clearly, the Mexican govt is fomenting drug violence in order to: (1) get billions of dollars in US assistance, and, (2) to help their populations flee over the border claiming they are victims of violence and need "asylum." Asylum claims gets illegals thousands of dollars in SS funds.

Mexican Federales are getting rich using some familiar strategies:

(1) plotting to become a ward of the US;

(2) faking victimization;

(3) secretly revving up internal conflicts;

(4) play-acting the ignoramus;

(5) claiming they can't "control" their enemies without US money;

(6) organizing voting blocs----exchanging votes for US cash.

It's all a big scam---illegals are being financed and coached by Third World governments. The federales are salivating to get their dirty hands on trillions in US foreign aid---and they need a voting bloc to manipulate the US govt and loot the US Treasury.

ACTION NOW---Stop all funding for this con game. Tell your reps to stop funding the Merida Initiative scam now.

Looks like the opportunistic neocons are looking for new territories to dump US trillions.

They see the Mideast money dwindling now that Bin Laden is dead.

So Mexico is their new area of $$conquest.

Gotta keep those tax dollars flowing. War profiteer Richard Perle and his ME oil business need lots of tax dollars to get it up and running.

We should dump Richard Perle into the middle of Tijuana at midnight with $100 Bills taped all over his body.

I should never post before getting my 60 Liters of Caffeine in the morning :-)

I soon expect THIS Regime in Washington now to pass a "Political Asylum" blanket Amnesty to anyone from Mexico "fleeing the violence"......

ANY excuse to pander to the Hispanic vote (legal or illegal) in 2012.

I'm the drug lord taking control of your country. Your corrupt military looks the other way and your two-bit law enforcement is inept when it's not on the take.

You blame the U.S. and expect the U.S. to fix all your problems. Clean up your own act, save a few bucks, and be better protected from mayhem like me.

Obama won’t provide “humantarian” military assistance to Mexico because he is racist.

I think I am getting the hang of this.
