Mexico needs help to fight cartels. They are not asking for US GI's. We are simply talking about providing Mexican soldiers with better equipment to fight a terrible war.
Therefore, it was refreshing to hear that Gov. Richardson of New Mexico is calling on his party to get something done:
"Richardson said Mexican President Felipe Calderon deserved support in his aggressive fight against drug cartels, including deploying 25,000 troops to hotspots across the country.
He said Mexico was in critical need of more resources for that fight, noting a string of attacks against police that have left several top commanders dead.
"It is important that the Senate and House resolve their differences because it would be disastrous if Plan Merida went down the tube," Richardson said in an interview with The Associated Press."
We always appreciate Dem sanity whenever we see it.
It's nice to hear a Dem talking about doing something other than issuing a subpoena for Karl Rove, "taxing the rich" or starting impeachment proceedings against Bush or Cheney.
Gov. Richardson is a border governor and he knows the mess that the US-Mexico border is.
All you have to do is look south for a minute and see that there is a war going on! (The Drug Wars' Body Counts Continue To Mount in Mexico By Allan Wall)
Good job Gov. Richardson. At the same time, good luck trying to change your party because they are in the pockets of the trade unions!
Down in Mexico, Pres. Calderon, and brave Mexican soldiers and policemen, are fighting a very difficult war.
Up here, Obama and Clinton are telling Ohio and PA voters that Mexico stole their jobs.
