What efforts have we made in curbing the demand for drugs? US law enforcement has done a great job, but that is not where the solution is! What effort have we made to curb the abundance of weapons crossing the border and facilitating thousands of homicides? It is not ATF&E’s fault for making one error; it’s our congressmen’s fault which allow for the laws to exist that facilitate the purchase of weapons. Don’t be fooled by our claims that we are doing everything we can; I was part of our government’s efforts and I can actually attest to the fact that we have done very little! I heard former President Fox say that normally neighbors help their neighbors when their house is on fire, and that Mexico is on fire and needs help. However, we, the US, have become more a spectator in this calamity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-31944922006032181732012-01-03T02:58:32.496-07:002012-01-03T02:58:32.496-07:00@January 2, 2012 12:59 PM

The fact is, due to direct observation, what the Army and Naval Infantry say about casualties and operations is accurate. They try to be hermetic about matters that might possibly relate to forensics and future strategy and tactics.<br /> Concerning the General Trevin~o affair, just before the Hinkley matter at Falcon Lake, our neighbuors in our Texas home are ranch folks who have long-time (240 years)interests and ownership of a couple of small ranches between Cerralvo, General Trevin~o, and Parras. Their understanding of the casualty count....having been there...is exactly what the Army indicated.<br /> In all of my dealings with the Army and Naval Infantry, they have been straightforward, professional, and pleasant under the circumstances. I am an honourably discharged, United States Army veteran, drafted in 1968.<br /> Finally, Calderon is to be regarded as one of the great leaders of the Americas for all the history of the New World. He is a common upper-middle class dumboe called in to serve his country, he has done his best, made errors, made many,many,many advances and successes and has taken the war to the Devil. Only idiots who have no power of critical thinking can associate this man with haveing "caused" a drug war. With luck, Mexico is living its finest hour....standing up to pure evil and winning.David Christian Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486433908063462273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-62389281358446567872012-01-02T12:59:13.539-07:002012-01-02T12:59:13.539-07:00Expect Calderon to be murdered after his presidenc...Expect Calderon to be murdered after his presidency,no matter where in the world he tries to hide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-58454069950170129262012-01-02T12:01:49.672-07:002012-01-02T12:01:49.672-07:00No va ganar el pri se va quedar el pan asi Como el...No va ganar el pri se va quedar el pan asi Como el pri gano por 70 anos con fraudes a hora le toca al pan seguir con el mandato por muchos anos...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-53988360044924237632012-01-02T11:26:49.773-07:002012-01-02T11:26:49.773-07:00Long live independent mexico and long live america...Long live independent mexico and long live america.<br />Happy new year and time to live by individual example.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-77616738105701184532012-01-02T10:34:39.110-07:002012-01-02T10:34:39.110-07:00January 2, 2012 8:50 AM .Couldn't have said it...January 2, 2012 8:50 AM .Couldn't have said it better myself.All true valid points.Everyone having a go at Calderon?The man tried,at least he did that,and now,through constitutional rules,he has to lay it down.I applaud Calderon for trying to drag Mexico,kicking and screaming,into a more "enlightened"country.One where the wealth is spread out,instead of cliques who take all the wealth.Hopefully job creation will be ramped up sometime,but i fear the old status quo will be applied when his term ends.Respecto Snr Calderon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-18557534487216524882012-01-02T08:50:00.615-07:002012-01-02T08:50:00.615-07:00Respect is earned not a given, if Mexicans want to...Respect is earned not a given, if Mexicans want to have a real life they must earn it,at presant they have not.

Its always been a joke to watch highly nationalistic Mexicans waving a flag,as if they had anything to be proud of!
