NO money was given to Mexico- just planes, tracking equipment, training, etc.

"The aid has been held up for months, partly because US legislators were concerned that the money might end up in the hands of corrupt Mexican officials.

None of the $197m which has just been released will be in the form of cash.

Instead equipment is being provided to enable American and Mexican law enforcers to work more closely together. "

I think it best to watch the cash ...

Not a great track record going here ...

Watch the cash... If you really want to end the narco fighting- throw a billion dollars of hard USA cash or gold into Mexico and let them all kill each other for it.
