The United States plans no retaliation against Mexico for its opposition to the American-led war in Iraq, U.S. Treasurer Rosario Marin said Wednesday.

"There is no list in any department or agency of things that we will do against countries" that opposed the U.S. invasion of Iraq, she said when questioned by reporters after an appearance in this central Mexican city, 60 miles (100 kilometers) northeast of Mexico City.

Of course not. France has been chosen as the "sacrificial lamb" for this exercise.

I'll bet Mexico is not on the retaliation list. And they are not on the "Help'em" list either.

U.S. Treasurer Rosario Marin...

The above chunk of dung is one of the worst appointments Bush made. That deplorable Mexi-phile traitorette Marin is a disaster. There are others.

Look at this by the "US" treasurer. Sounds more like she's working for the Mexican government.

Thanks to NAFTA Mexico

And still no improvements ---Mexico is becoming our biggest welfare state. The more money we throw to the elites, the worse things seem to get. In spite of NAFTA or because of it, millions of Mexicans are flooding over the border. Marin is working for her class of people in Mexico ---not for the Mexican or American people.

You forgot Chile. As for Mexico: close the blamed border and export all the illegals now polluting the Republic! Wil George do it? NO! ( and that's one issue that will not die soon).
