#1 Back a few years ago when SOCOM called the drug cartels out #1 threat we should have done what Ms Clinton is talking about. But NO, we did little more than toss the political football around over SB1070 and the fence. Now that the drug cartels have placed execution teams in Arizona she wants to send Mexico training and Blackhawks??? WTF??? We need counter insurgency teams in Pima country and intel nets set up to counter this war that is about to happen here. I believe in the next 24 months we will see the exact same violence here in Arizona that you see across the border. It is too late to stop it, if you try you will be called racist and Holder will come after you, IE Sheriff Joe. All I can say is ammo up and carry everywhere, it wont be long.

#2 Tell local law enforcement to start learning/developing counter-sniper tactics because if Los Zetas cross the border you can bet they will bring snipers with them.

Survey probable firing points and fields of fire because Los Zetas will already have that information in hand before they start crossing the border.

#3 It seems that the war on drug is doing as well as the war on terror. Or is it vice versa?

#4 If it seems so, just look at the same old crowd in the Beltway who manage both.

We have to protect our phoney baloney jobs here, gentlemen! We must do something about this immediately! Immediately! Immediately! Harrumph! Harrumph! Harrumph! - Governor William J. Le Petomane

#5 Well, we were pretty successful in Columbia and that was a very long hard slog. Just as you stated, it takes political will and that does not come from a country that must have the Inauguration ceremony of it's chief executive behind closed doors.

#7 One solution that citizens on both sides of the border agree on, but the political leaders of both countries refuse to do is to seal the border. Mexicans seem to think that were the border sealed traffickers have nowhere to go, and that were the Mexican government to issue one modern weapon per head if household, their problem,and therefore America's would be cleared up inside of two years.

And I believe them.

And I also believe that the Mexican government had better get in front of this tsunami, because whether or not Mexicans get issued modern weapons, the pushback is coming. Mexicans as no other national identity know they don't need modern weapons for a revolution.
