Yeah....new weapons anyway.

I thought the new Pres said he wouldn't be carrying on with this war. Are we just arming, training and outfitting Mexico's military because we don't have anything else to do or spend our money on?

It appears to be business as usual, with respect to countering the cartels, for the new president. He's just trying to reduce the military's involvement in it, probably for political reasons.

Instead, he proposing a new national paramilitary force.
