What a coincidence.
Another strange coincidence is that the Cartel driven violence ramped up from a low level of violence among cartel members in Jan 2009 when Obama took office to to a fever pitch of senseless, gruesome mass murder of both cartel members and innocent bystanders by the end of 2010.
Soon after the new Republicans took office in Congress after the 2010 elections when facts about Fast and Furious began to be made public and Issa began his investigation, the extreme violence in Mexico abruptly began to subside all on their own with no corresponding crack down by law enforcement on either side of the border. For the last year or so there have been minimal reports of cartel driven violence in Mexico.
Very strange. I am not sure I am comfortable with some of the conclusions that can be inferred from the recent events on both sides of the border.
It baffles me why anyone would support this so called drug war.
Supporting the drug war is actually just funneling money into criminals’ pockets at all levels of government.
Why are people so fervent in their beliefs that the drug war benefits us at the peon level?
Since when do crooks become believable? Do we just pick and choose what to believe from his story? Eric Holder is up to his neck in this muck.
Too movie script sounding to me. I think it was about using F&F to push for more gun control.
Now, not to say I don’t mind a good conspiracy...wouldn’t surprise me if the governmet wasn’t “Bourning” nuts to go on shooting sprees for political reasons.
BTW, does anyone think that if the AZ Rep Gibbons was a Republican the media would be sympathetic? Hell no, they’d basically say she had it coming.
It was already ramping up by 2009...
Killings in Drug War in Mexico Double in ’08
The number of gangland killings reached 5,376 from the beginning of the year until Dec. 2, a 117 percent increase over the 2,477 killings in the same period in 2007, Mr. Medina-Mora said in a luncheon meeting with foreign correspondents.

This “operative “ is a criminal, a foreigner and in custody. He will say whatever DOJ wants him to in order to cut a deal.

If anything he has said is true he wont make it alive to testify in a court of law I will bet...
My money is backing you. Another mysterious death looms on the horizon.

He is also right. Our government’s policy with Mexico is to prevent a Hugo Chavez from taking power.
Gabrielle Giffords?
No, actually it's much much worse.
Nevertheless, dead is dead.
Yes.
Yes.
