What’s new about this? The Bush Administration was talking about this in the early party of this decade.
The Mexican drug cartels have established bases in Ghana and West Africa as transit points to obtain delivery of precursor chemicals from the Middle East used in the manufacture of crystal meth, and I wonder how long it will be before the terrorist folks hook up directly with the Mexican drug cartels.
The Mexican drug cartels have no problem getting over our border — they smuggle $50 billion worth of drugs and cash back and forth over the border each year — and have established operating cells in 250 cities across America.
My concern is that the terrorists will hook up with the Mexican drug cartels as their new partners in the drug trade, and exploit the operating infrastructure the Mexican cartels already have within our country — including its paths in and out — in order to do further damage to us.
I understand why America is in Iraq & Afghanistan; however, it seems that our backdoor — the U.S.-Mexico border — is wide open, and the success of the Mexican drug cartels in America illustrates how vulnerable our country remains to people getting in and out and doing whatever illicit business they choose.
New business model? Pretty much parallels the one they have been following all along, dating back to the time of Mohammed, and probably even earlier. Practically all the African slaves, and a good many from the other parts of the Middle and Far East, were transported to the slave markets all through the days of European colonization, by Muslims in various capacities. Likewise with opium and hashish, a form of marijuana, the most potent form of cannabis. Much better than the spice trade, really. Cocaine is just a more compact and easily transported habit-forming drug, so once the supply lines are established, there is a “forever” market with great growth potential.
Yeah and Bush was talking about this-——he supported the creation of a narco human trafficking statelet in the heart of Eurabia called Kosovo.
Backstabbing SOB.
