"Mexican leader defends war on drugs; Blames US for violence problem" by William Booth, Washington Post | June 17, 2010
Then TELL the CIA to STOP RUNNING the s***!!!!!!!
MEXICO CITY — An explosion of drug violence in Mexico has claimed hundreds of lives in the past five days and prompted the country’s president to issue a 5,000-word manifesto warning that the fight against organized crime must continue “or we will always live in fear.’’
Yup, the GOVERNMENT FIGHT against the GOVERNMENT-RUN and -PROTECTED drug rings has made MADE THINGS WORSE but the WAR MUST CONTINUE!
This is GETTING SOOOO OLD and SOOOOO PLAYED, propaganda pukes of the world!
And CUI BONO?
As the latest spasm of killing has spread across the country, cartel assassins, local thugs, and federal troops have died in running gun battles, highway ambushes, and prison melees. On Tuesday, shooting broke out in the tourist town of Taxco. Mexican Army troops, acting on a tip, raided a house and a firefight ensued, leaving 14 gunmen dead.
The string of attacks since Thursday has included the execution-style slaying of 19 drug addicts in a rehabilitation clinic and several assaults targeting police, including an ambush that killed 12 federal officers.
Yeah, KILLING their own CUSTOMERS, that's a great business model.
In an editorial printed in newspapers Monday, President Felipe Calderon defended his drug war as vital to the country’s national security.
I never read them in the Globe -- not anymore.
I usually stop reading the thing long before then.
And it i$ VITAL to $omebody!
More than 23,000 people have died in drug-related violence since December 2006, when Calderon first sent the military into the streets, according to a government report.
And HE CALLED it SUCCESS!!!!
The Mexican president directly blamed the United States.
“The origin of our violence problem begins with the fact that Mexico is located next to the country that has the highest levels of drug consumption in the world,’’ Calderon wrote. “It is as if our neighbor were the biggest drug addict in the world.’’
Hey, look, we are TRYING to kick the OIL HABIT!
Oh, that isn't what you meant?
And if you DO NOT LIKE IT, then BUILD a WALL!!!
If it is GOOD ENOUGH for ISRAEL, it is GOOD ENOUGH for US!!!!!!!!
The cartels, Calderon said, have grown rich and bold — fed with billions of dollars from the United States. Specialists estimate that $10 billion to $25 billion in drug profits flow to Mexico each year from the north.

Drug money saved banks in global crisis, claims UN advisor
Yup, you will ALWAYS find BANKS at the BOTTOM of EVIL (with Zionist Jews behind them).
About 90 percent of the cocaine consumed in the United States passes through Mexico. Meanwhile, many of the weapons the cartels use are smuggled into Mexico from the United States.

GREAT GAME the GOVERNMENT AGENCIES have going, huh?
Calderon said Mexico would be in a worse state if his administration had not taken on criminal gangs. It is a battle that is supported by the Obama administration and Congress, which has dedicated $1.3 billion in aid.
Yeah, GOOD THING YOU did not need that money, bamkrupt AmeriKa!!!
I'm glad you had MILLIONS you could spare to be THROWN AWAY on a double-crossing, double-dealing government failure!
The Mexican newspapers that keep running tallies of drug-related violence reported last week that a record was set when 85 people died in a 24-hour period.
And CALDERON CALLS that SUCCESS, huh?
So what does the MONEY buy in terms of SUCCESS, readers?
"29 inmates, 15 federal officers die in Mexico" by Associated Press | June 15, 2010
MEXICO CITY — At least 29 inmates were killed yesterday as rival gangs clashed inside a prison in the cartel-plagued Mexican state of Sinaloa, authorities said. Three policemen guarding the prison were wounded. And elsewhere, gunmen killed 15 federal police officers in separate attacks, marking one of the bloodiest days for security forces since the government stepped up its fight with drug rings.
Inside the prison in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, 20 inmates were shot to death when a group of prisoners opened fire on members of a rival gang, Josefina Garcia, state public safety secretary, told Radio Formula. One of the three wounded guards was in serious condition, Garcia said.
Hmmmm. Something missing from my printed paper report.
The gang that initiated the attack killed 17 rivals and lost three of its own members.
Hours later, eight more prisoners were stabbed to death by other inmates, said Angeles Moreno, state Public Safety Department spokeswoman.
Meanwhile, twelve federal police officers died in an ambush near a high school in the western state of Michoacán, while assailants killed three officers in the northern city of Chihuahua.
The latest in a series of mass slayings occurred as President Felipe Calderón defended his crackdown on traffickers in an essay on his office’s website.
And then an editorial in the paper!
In the ambush in Michoacán, officers riding in four pickup were returning from a patrol when they came under fire in the city of Zitacuaro, the federal Public Safety Department said in a statement
Ten officers died on the spot and two more on the way to a hospital. Thirteen officers were wounded.
In a statement, the Michoacán Public Safety Department said gunmen killed three federal officers in Chihuahua. One officer was wounded.Firing away on their "former" friends, huh?
--more--"
Actually, I THINK THAT SHOT MISSED because the GOVERNMENT'S ZETAS DRUG GANG reference has been EXCISED from the web "update."
