We understand that Gov Perry of Texas has created a bit of "a reaction" with this:
"Appearing on MSNBC on Thursday, Perry was asked, “Would you advocate military involvement in Mexico on the Mexico side of the border to help Mexico in this drug war?”
Perry answered:
“I think we have to use every aspect of law enforcement that we have, including the military. I think you have the same situation as you had in Colombia. Obviously, Mexico has to approve any type of assistance that we can give them. “But the fact of the matter is, these are people who are highly motivated with money. They are vicious. They are armed to the teeth. I want to see them defeated. And any means that we can to run these people off our border and to save Americans' lives we need to be engaged in.”
Don't worry! Gov Perry does not want to invade Mexico!
However, it's nice to see that Gov Perry understands that there are "vicious" people walking in with A-47's terrorizing ranchers or anyone who gets in their way.
And isn't it great to hear a US politician openly say that he wants the cartels "defeated"? Are you listening Pres BO?
Again, nobody wants to invade Mexico!
What we want is for the Obama administration to do something on the border beyond kissing the hand of labor unions over "trucks" or pandering to the left with the Arizona lawsuit.
We are very happy that Gov Perry has reminded us that the US-Mexico border is one nasty war zone.
On one side, there are cartels cutting heads and intimidating public officials with threats.
On our side, we have law abiding citizens watching cartels walk on their property and a Pres BO totally disengaged from this threat to our country.
Thank you Gov Perry! Thank you for saying what a lot of us have been saying for a couple of years.
