Didn't something like 40 people get killed yesterday when cartel members started ambushing military units?
Infact when that governors family got killed and several Cartel bosses fell, battles started breaking out all over Mexico with cartels trying to gain new territoryLast edited by LeG00N; 11-07-2012, 11:04 AM.

It is the same with any type of news like that, just look at Greater Milwaukee. Triple homicide on MLK Drive is 15-30 second clip on the local news. Triple homicide 20 minutes west in a Brookfield salon & spa, all day coverage international news.

Nope.. el narco will exist as long as the united states is full of junkies with dollars...
but they will go back to the old pact, move your stuff, dump it across the border, give me a cut, behave and dont hurt the people...it worked for many years, things got out of control after the old PRI party lost and the new govt didnt want to deal with them.. the gloves were off, all of a sudden they started to kidnap civilians, intimidate, extorsion, kill whoever talk about them in the media, a huge clusterfuk.. it went unchecked for six years under president fox administration, it was only until calderon started his sexeny that he vowed to erradicate them, it was too fuking late, el narco was infiltrated in the police, army and govt at all levels, calderon realized local police needed to be cleansed, whole police departments on big cities were fired and replaced, still to no avail, it was just then that the mexican army and navy stepped in, but this is not a conventional war, its fuking fallujah multiplied 1000 times, and our armed forces are ill trained for that, they shoot first, ask later, obviously many innocent lives have been lost in the crossfire, calderon was under immense pressure to remove the army from the streets, most say probably that cost his party this last election but he did the right thing... now the new president from the old ruling party will go back to pact with el narco, its fuking sad.. i wish we were allowed to reelect calderon so he can finish the job but thats impossible... fuking sad..

No. It's not getting quite as much news in the States though. But I do remember a few years ago, the feds busted a house up in Longmont Colorado that had like 10-15 cartel members illegally in the country and setting up drug runs from that house up there.
But Mexico is still crazy. If the US really wanted to end the drug cartels, we could send people into Mexico and take them out in less than a week. There's too much money being brought in from those drugs though.
