Mexican police, soliders killed in multi-city attacks by drug gang

Synthetics are to blame, period. The value of packaged meth, coke and heroin far exceed that of marijuana pound for pound.

It seems that the Iraqis have a better handle on policing themselves than mexico.

Yes, the word, "hero" is even used by the murderers to describe themselves.
We see how they murder a few people and then they get their picture carried around by an instant "crowd" who march and call the killer a "hero."
That's what the Muslims who murder do almost every day. First they murder somneone, then they are called heroes.
Mexico wants us to give them money and even weapons and troops to fight THEIR drug gang problem because they say we cause the problem because we buy drugs.
Hey, guess what?
Should I pay my mailman extra money because he is delivering mail that I caused to come to me?
Should we pay the fire fighters extra because if we would not have houses, they would not ever burn down?
THis is BS.
They make billions from the oil in Mexico and yet they take more billions from us to feed their people and now they want our money to fight their own gangs.
Sorry, I do not agree.
Why don't they give us money for taking care of their sick and for educating their children and for feeding their families???!!!
Where are the billions of Mexican money from their oil sales going??
Hello?
Mexico is the seventh largest producer of oil on Earth.

The word "hero" has become such a cliche in this country. Now every NFL running back who scores a touchdown on a sprained ankle is a "hero." Nevermind that he was paid a million dollars to play in the game or that the entire purpose of the sport is to provide a platform for beer advertising...

I don't know what all the differing motivations might be for becoming a police officer in Mexico, let alone one that focuses on drug crime. I suppose a few take the job only because it is a way to feed themselves and their families, and I suppose a few more take it because they are corrupt and figure to get rich on bribes or as paid informants of the drug cartels.

But for those who become police officers to fight these people, risking their lives every single day to do so...I am not sure we HAVE a word in our language that adequately expresses how fine these people are. "Hero" is simply not adequate, at least not the way we have diluted its meaning...

Mr. Obama, you are doing exactly like Mr. Bush. Of course they will all yell and say bad things about Mr. Bush, but Mr. Obama is doing the exact same thing. He is allowing these criminals to walk in, right over the border along with the other "good" ones. Of course, the other "good" ones are really here illegally too. They have the nerve to come in here, get free medical care, free school, free housing and they skip right over all the truly patient and honest Mexicans who are waiting righteously for their turn to be citizens.

Where are all the protests against Vicente Fox for happily sending them here, while he made billions selling oil? Now the new president of Mexico is keeping us all busy talking about emissions instead of all the Mexican illegals he does not feed, or educate or medically treat. Felipe Calderón is a new face doing the same thing while the drug problems go on and on. Mr. Obama is also just allowing the same illegal immigration to go on and on even though he knows they should not be allowed to jump the line of legally waiting Mexicans. New day, new leader, but same problem.

Where's our national defense when we need them?

Oh, that's right, their on the other side of the world doing things that have nothing to do with our national defense.

Unfortunately they wont find Leyzaola's body when he turns up missing soon.....
