Bring back the spirit of Robert E Lee and let him invade Mexico, like he did in in the 1840's. He'll clean up the mess down there, unlike the do nothing politico's, in Washington.

There will always be some crime pulled off. The crime of sales of ill legal drugs are starting too very much like it did over 80 years with the crime of ill legal alcohol. This is a hard crime too solve.

Maybe obama will learn them a lesson by giving them weopons for oil and them blame gun dealers for cooperating with ATF? I'm sorry something like that has already been done by obama. Now he has one of our agents blood on his hands. The common theme I keep picking up on is liberals are not responsible enough to have or control guns.

You had better be ready to move U.S. troops into Mexico if you are going to mess with Los Zetas or any of the other cartels or hinder their means of making or holding their money.

What happened to "Sex and drugs and Rock'n Roll"

Seems it's been replaced by "Oil and drugs and arms" these days.
