Mexican President says US holds responsibility in Mexican Drug Wars.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon says the United States must show “through its actions” that it “assumes its part of responsibility in this fight” against drug trafficking along the Mexico-U.S. border, but he made clear he would not support a U.S. military intervention.
Calderon says as Americans continue to use drugs, smuggling cannot be eliminated. He says the battle for control of territory among organized cartels and drug lords has now claimed more than 7,200 lives since January 2008, including six more killed yesterday in a series of attacks in the Pacific coast state of Guerrero, the Associated Press reports…
“I’m fighting corruption among Mexican authorities and risking everything to clean house,” Calderon says of the more than 25 high-level officials arrested for suspicion of taking drug bribes, AP reports.
“But I think a good cleaning is in order on the other side of the border,” he said.
He’s right, the US shares in the problem. If we had a president that had the Kahonas to close the southern border and stop the flow of Illegal Aliens and drugs, there wouldn’t be this problem. The Drug Cartels are fighting over the lucrative markets in the US that they have easy access to. If the border was sealed, they wouldn’t have anything to fight over. The Mexicans and liberals call us “Racists” because we want the border sealed and the flow of Illegals to stop. Well for Mexico, it looks like chickens have come home to roost.
