Ping!
Excuse me if I’m wrong, but don’t we get a lot of petroleum products from Mexico.
Are drugs the only big money in the country?
It’s a pity that the border areas are so out of control. I think a joint US/Mexican offensive military action in Mexico against these drug lords in the best solution. UAVs would be pretty useful here I would think. I’m sure others will believe that simply allowing all of Mexico to migrate to America will work better though.
We might as well annex Mexico, it’s citizens are already here.
El Paso Times, Feb 10, 2009
Twenty-one people were killed early Tuesday between Villa Ahumada and Samalayuca following the reported kidnappings of nine people and shootouts between Mexican soldiers and the kidnappers, officials with the Joint Chihuahua Operation said. Police also reported the deaths of four others whose bodies were found Tuesday in the Juárez area, for a total of 25 people killed, the most to date in less than 24 hours.

Mexico doesn’t need Texas’ help. They’re collapsing under the weight of their own corruption and ineptitude.
Not a bad idea. California doesn’t have the money to draft anything. Guess we’ll have to carve out our plans with a long thin stick and beach sand and hope the wind and waves don’t wash it away when the time comes.
That doesn’t give much of a description of any plan. I’m beginning to wonder what the heck our government is waiting for. I think the military could do a lot of good in Mexico. Maybe when units come home from Iraq they can go south and take care of business. But I’m sure obama will want to talk to the druglords first.
Ping.
Hope for the best, plan for the worst ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
I’m beginning to wonder if American citizens are going to have to band together with weapons and converge on the border with Mexico to defend our country when things do collapse in Mexico. It’s apparent our government will do little or nothing to protect its citizens from cross border hostilities.
Maybe those FEMA camps will be good for something after all.
Could you imagine if Mexico was a nuclear power and the Cartels took control of them?
“Buy our cocaine, or else”
Smart move, because certainly the One will be clueless. He will ignore it as long as he can and then assemble some people in suits to surround him on TV and announce that he is “confronting” the problem.
He will then put the head of La Raza in charge of it.
