Mexico launches another attack on Arizona

Mexican military helicopter attacks U.S. Border Patrol. Mexican Government issues apology.

These repeated incidents are okay as long as the Mexicans apologize. Even if the Mexican military attacked and destroyed Phoenix, American Anglos would consider it to be perfectly acceptable if an apology followed.

Gracias

 

maybe we should have asked Australians if the drug war had a "boomerang effect".

 

i say a cruise missile exploding over Mexico as a promise.

If it were up to me I'd just send in the military to bomb the hell out of the drug cartels and put an end to them and an end to the drug war.

That's the only thing they'll listen to. They won't listen to reason because all they want to do is siphon off money and harm our people over here.

Of course there'll be political fallout over this, but that's how you find out who our true friends and allies really are.

And if push comes to shove, we can always take the world with us.

Don't mess with America.

we shall take revenge upon mexico by attacking a country in the middle east. That'll learn 'em.

 

What would you propose that American Anglos do? Launch nuclear weapons at Mexico?

 

Maybe we should enjoin the Commerce Clause?

 

Missiles at the ready in strategic locations. One downed chopper will quickly end this issue......we will of course apologize afterward.

 

A couple of shots fired at the US border patrol for undisclosed reasons (may have been a mistake on the part of those in the choppa) hardly qualifies as Mexico "launching an attack on Arizona."

The drug war is hot down there..

 

No doubt McCain & company would love nothing more than another excuse to wage war--preferably nuclear.

Imagine if he had been elected President? We wouldn't be here because he'd have found some excuse, pushed the red button and incinerated the planet. I can imagine him on the phone to the Kremlin, whooping and hollering and declaring "victory" right up to when the return strikes turned him to char.

"Leadership" like that we can do without. In your heart you know that's right.

 

I have a two word solution to Mexico's economic war on the US.






Land mines

 

What economic war? I believe we should enjoin our federal Congress to come up with "Commerce Clause" compatible solutions.

 

I would be entirely in favor of dedicating a black ops force to dealing with the cartels. Let them use every hi-tech gizmo we have. Some situations would involve precision missile strikes on processing facilities. Some would be stealth missions to make only the key figures literally disappear from their beds. The object would be to persistently terrorize and eliminate every single person who has aspirations to perpetuate the flow of illegal drugs. Make them perfectly aware that this gets you killed.

 

It was a mistake. Ugh, neo conservatism these days.

It's not as simple as you make it sound.

 

Mistake

just like the attack on the USS Liberty was a MISTAKE.

if this is a pattern, its one that I really don't like.

 

No the wind might blow fallout back over cali and other western cities and states like Frisco, LA and....ummm' on second thought....

The second similar incident would matter the most.

 

oh my god

 

Nothing will happen to Mexico. Obama's major donor and tax avoiders are there in Mexico. GE.

 

Let's ditch the drug war and save some money.

 

Agreed....Imagine the impact on cartels if the entire country went legal:

"The decision by voters in Colorado and Washington state to legalize the recreational use of marijuana has "changed the rules of the game" for the administration of Mexican President-elect Enrique Peña Nieto in the U.S.-backed drug war, according to a report by the Washington Post's William Booth.

"Obviously, we can’t handle a product that is illegal in Mexico, trying to stop its transfer to the United States, when in the United States, at least in part of the United States, it now has a different status,” Nieto’s top adviser, Luis Videgaray, told a radio station Wednesday.

However, experts and studies note that legalization in two U.S. states -- even if the federal government allows it -- probably won't put Mexico's drug cartels out of business.

In the lead-up to the referenda in Mexico and Colorado, the Mexican Competitiveness Institute released a study estimating that Mexico’s cartels would lose $1.425 billion if the initiative passed in Colorado and $1.372 billion if Washington voted to legalize. The organization also predicted that drug trafficking revenues would fall 20 to 30 percent, and the Sinaloa cartel, which would be the most affected, would lose up to 50 percent.

But that's a much more severe impact than the one predicted by the Rand Corp., which previously found that cartels would barely feel the pinch from legalization initiatives in the U.S. As Booth reported:


A 2010 Rand Corp. study estimated that legal marijuana use in California, a state that consumes about one-seventh of all the pot smoked in the United States, would cost the cartels 2 to 4 percent of their revenue. So losing consumers in states such as Washington and Colorado that have a smaller population might not affect the cartel bottom line by much.

It's hard to determine exactly how U.S. marijuana legalization would hurt the cartels, in part because we don't have perfect numbers on how drug traffickers profit from marijuana use in each of the 50 states."

Might even solve state financing issues domestically:
"Colorado expects to take in about $184 million in tax revenue from marijuana in the first 18 months after legislation -- and much of that money will be funneled into teaching kids to stay away from pot."

Plus enormous savings from prison costs.

 

Black markets must respond to open markets; and, in any case, we could be turning a current cost center into a profit center. Only the right doesn't seem to have enough Faith in Captialism to accomplish it.

 

As an Christian rev I am right leaning on many issues (but not all). I am listed as an independent because I vote the issues not the party. However, I support eliminating the DEA for the most part and legalizing or decriminalizing most non-habit forming drugs even the psychoactive cacti, herbals and fungi. Pot is far less damaging than alcohol IMO, and can be beneficial in many instances. The (lost) war on drugs is laughable and so expensive, destroys so many lives by making felons from someone that committed the awful offense of possessing a bit of a dried weed its criminal in and of itself! Not to mention life without, and even the death penalty for harder drugs while child molesters murderers and other violent criminals get far less time for a far more, an exponentially more destructive crime. Future generations will look at this era as another dark age…
