WASHINGTON (AFP) – Using unusually blunt language, FBI Director Robert Mueller told US legislators on Capitol Hill Wednesday that there is an "unprecedented" level of violence in Mexico linked to the country's drug wars.
"I would not call it a full-scale war," Mueller told members of the House of Representatives as he discussed his agency's 2012 budget.
"I would say there are full-scale warring factions that utilize homicide as a mechanism of retaliation, staking out one's turf, retribution, that have contributed substantially to the number of deaths in Mexico," Mueller said.
There have been some 35,000 homicides in the past four years, Mueller said.
"I think it's fair to say that it's unprecedented," he said. "The last couple of years, I think, have been particularly bad."
The frank words are uncommon for a senior US official: the US ambassador to Mexico resigned in March after Mexican President Felipe Calderon said diplomatic cables written by the envoy -- in which he depicted the Mexican military leadership as unprepared for the war on drugs -- damaged bilateral ties.
And Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in September had to back off of comments that the Mexican drug cartels "are showing more and more indices of insurgencies," and that the country is "looking more and more like Colombia looked 20 years ago, when the narcotraffickers controlled certain parts of the country."
Even though the Mexican military and police "have undertaken substantial efforts" to address the violence, "it's certainly not under control at this point," Mueller said.

Arming the cartel and blaming it on the availability of guns (read: gotta clamp down on those evil American gun sellers and owners). It's a twofer. Embolden the enemy, and emasculate America.
See a pattern here?
Really? With a body count adding up TWICE as fast as Vietnam?

The cartels have the means to smuggle terrorists into the United States. For the right price, they will eventually do so, if they haven’t done so already. Ergo Obama supports them.
The pattern I see is “ TREASON”

Captain Obvious.
Who do they think they have been fooling?
The whole country knows, look at this:

Has the FBI got a friggin clue?
Here comes the Obama Doctrine.
Can't let those civilians get killed. After all, we have a Responsibility to Protect.
Marines in Mexico City AGAIN!?!?
Sheesh, I thought we settled that one 160 years ago.
Yep.......bloat !
Last report I saw from some official agency said that 60-65% of cartel revenues came from pot. Something like $20bil.
I'll see if I can hunt something up online...
The only upside to the great boating accident of 0’10 was that the boat went down too...
sometimes, ya just got to grab yerself by the hip waders and go forward.
Not to get too gun-porny here, but: is Federal running Lake City these days?
John P. Walters, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, said marijuana, not heroin or cocaine, is the "bread and butter," "the center of gravity" for Mexican drug cartels that every year smuggle tons of it through the porous U.S.-Mexico border. Of the $13.8 billion that Americans contributed to Mexican drug traffickers in 2004-05, about 62 percent, or $8.6 billion, comes from marijuana consumption.

Didn’t our Homeland Security man just tell us all was well on the border?

Looks like the URL to the DMN story is dead now. A quick googling shows other sources with the same quotes from the drug czar.
Yeah, we need 100% American-made meth and cocaine! American jobs are at stake!
Alliant Tech Systems is the goobermint contractor running it to best of my knowledge.....
Aha. Mkay. Federal is a division of Alliant. I got quite a bump on the head when the Bayliner went down, but I remembered that part.
LOL....ya awright ?
Been wringing out 300RUM 180 Nosler Partitions and 77gr Black Hills 5.56mm in my working guns. For some reason shy of magic the Sendero loves the Nosler Partition. Scary magic....:o) Expensive to feed yet looking for the right recipe for the rock chucker to cook up some home brew for the 300RUM.
The 77gr Black Hills in a 1-8 twist is sweet thus far. Sod poodles fear me !!!!
Next we’ll see Amnesty International pushing political asylum for the whole flipping country.
Did that POS Mueller figure out where the AK47’s we gave to the drug lords ended up yet?
But what about Libya?
Yes, our priorities and our corrupt government are likely beyond salvage.
