#1 Hey, that's just southeast of me, here in Tucson. I'll let you know when the war reaches our suburbs. When Pearl Harbor was attacked, they cancelled the Rose Bowl in Pasadena that year - figuring it was too close to the war zone. Here it is on our back steps and little notice is paid? I'll let you know when the the war reaches the Tucson suburbs...telling friend from foe might be an issue, however. Los Zetas reglan?!

The MFM is intentionally suppressing the information as effectively as any totalitarian state. Such news broadcast to the broad reach of the American population would kill any amnesty and force those in the Beltway to fortify the border. That is against their goal of 'one world' open border non-state America. They're too busy creating 'crisis' for ratings elsewhere that support their game and agenda.

#3 Just for clarity -- are the Federales and Mexican "Army" suppressing the drug trade in general or just suppressing their competitors?

#5 You need to get a program, Rob. You can't tell the players without a program.

#6 I guess I am kinda simple and naive. I think when you put on the uniform of your country or region, aside from the pay and the cool uniforms, you are making a statement that you are putting yourself on the line to defend what you think is right. I think the men, to call them what they are, who do that are the good guys until the moment they are not the good guys.

I understand the cynicism about the Federales being corrupt and so on, but I think the reason for that cynicism is largely anecdotal and not system wide. The average Mexican would agree.

Rinse the linked article through Google Translate, and read the comments. It's not like no one is commenting there's a problem; Mexicans recognize it, and they point it it out whenever possible in plain language.

Sorta like Americans would given the same situation.

So, I think if the Mexican Army and Mexican Federal agents get deployed to an abject sh*thole like the Altar desert to clean it out, a place that is so remote, so isolated there are gullies there you can't even get a radio message out, their successes should be cheered and their failings lamented, whenever possible.
