How did we get on this?
OK....what you say must be true and we don't have to do a lot of globe-trotting to see it. Just go back up to Jesse's post where he bemoans the paltry amount of our meddling.
Ya see, Howard? Nuthing we do is right. Don't you get sick of hearing it all the time? Is cultivating a trade partner worth having your face shoved in the toilet?

I would be more surprised if one of the cartels DIDN'T have some shoulder fired SAM's.

My, my, my :o

That should clean out some bile:barf:

I thought burning crosses was an American (USA) tradition, not a Mexican one.

Didn't notice the "I hate Americans" bit in Jesse's post :?: as much as I pick up on your "hate"...why so sensitive/ reactionary?

The USA is hurting economically because their greedy corporations have outsourced their manufacturing and other operations...can't really get angry with Jesse for that.

Are all airplanes used by USA airlines made in the USA?

Read the labels in your clothes....where are they made....should someone burn a cross in front of your double-wide because you don't but "American'?

I am quite surprised by the outburst attack on Jesse....something pi$$ing you guys off....I doubt it is Jesse.

Take a moment....check it out.

:cool:

So let me see, i can't defend my own goverment on an issue that is correct because i now "hate" the US??

Absolut rubish!!

My facts are right, my figures are right, and i don't see why its hateful to think, that if the US goverment, dos not contribute to this drug on wars in a serious and responsible way, perhaps we don't need to spend our money on buying US made weapons.

Seems logical and something that anybody in any nations of the world would do.

Yep Jesse, maybe we should give more money to the Mexican government so the corrupt politicians can dine out more often.

US aid to Mexico is frankly embarrasing, 300 million in "equipment" mostly during all of these years, while Mexico spends almost 10 billion a year only in the federal police. Add the military, state and local programs, navy, PGR, and intelligence spending to fight the drug cartels, and you can understand my initial remarks.

I am glad we ain't spending a dime buying US made equipment.

What's this "we" crap Jesse? Do you have a mouse in your pocket? I see that you are only pro-USA when it benefits your taqueria or whatever it is you sling out there. The United States gives way more than $300 million to Mexico every year. Get your facts straight. You seem to harbor anti-American feelings and I call on every patriot to avoid your place like the plague.


Lets see:

nation A spends 20 billion on war on drugs

nation B spends 300 million on war on drugs

Who in their right mind would believe that nation A has to purchase weapons from this war from nation B?

There is nothing hateful about my observation, its called logic.

Maybe the corrupt USA gun lobby politicians should choke on their dirty meals...

Mexican corruption is pretty much like USA corruption (I make the distinction between "USA" and "American", as the word does NOT refer only to USA as an adjective).

Called my wife to cancel our tickets to the Comedy Club tonight...We'll read this post all night for entertainment :o


The U.S. government is considering substantially increasing funding for Mexico’s drug war beyond the $1.4-billion Merida Initiative, Paul Richter reports from our Washington bureau. Citing an unnamed source in the White House, Richter reports that the Obama administration sees its joint anti-drug effort with Mexico as a top priority.

It's a culture of victimization. They won't take responsibility for anything they can blame on us.

well, the drug consumers are gringos. seems that the blame is rightly placed on gringos. if gringos were not consuming so much dope, the problem would not exist.

I would call you a bunch of hateful knuckleheads but my great dog of 13 years was named Knucklehead and it would give him a bad name.

To all you haters, lets get back on track, the C-295s.

I bought a work out gym for my house and it just sits collecting dust. My intentions were good and it looks good in the corner but unless it’s used properly, it is worthless for what it was intended to be for.

Lets hear about the C-295 in action to do what they were purchased for before we commend the government for buying them.

It just might be eye candy or it might be used for a good purpose and only time will tell.

Anyone taking bets out there on if it will help turn the tide against the drug problem?
