Narco-talibanistas...sure we shouldn't be paying more attention?

Mac the Knife has damnall on these bastards.

You know, the Rio Bravo is wadeable down there, the fucking wall down is breachable with minimal amount of effort, and if the Narco-talibanistas decide to invade El Paso , the guns at Fort Bliss are locked in arms rooms and by the time Rick "Nice-haircut" Perry got around to asking for federal help, the bastards would have W tied down and be force feeding him smack in Dallas. Mexico is far more fucked up than Afghanistan, particularly if you consider norms verus present state, and it's a exponentially closer.

Public Safety Secretary Roberto Orduña said he was leaving his post only hours after gunmen killed a police officer and a jail guard and left signs on their bodies saying they had fulfilled a promise made Wednesday to slay at least one officer every 48 hours until Orduña quits.The slayings were a sign that gangs are determined to control the police force of the biggest Mexican border city, with a population of 1.3 million people, across from El Paso, Texas. Ciudad Juárez is a major entry point for drugs heading into the United States and a hot spot in a brutal, multifront war involving ruthless drug cartels and Mexican security forces.Ciudad Juárez Mayor José Reyes insisted earlier Friday the city would not back down."We will not allow the control of the police force to fall in the hands of criminal gangs," he said.But Orduña said he didn't want to endanger more officers. "We can't allow men who work defending our citizens to continue to lose their lives," he said. "That is why I am presenting my permanent resignation."The resignation was effective immediately. Authorities said an interim chief would be named, and a permanent replacement would be found in the coming weeks.

Now, I realize this is starting to seem like an old 24 plot, but don't you think this might be worthy of some attention? It's kind of late, but hell, they do have oil in Mexico and it's a lot closer than Iraq. Twitshit went down to Mexico, indicated to Vincente Fox that he was scared of horses, and that was about it.  I'm wondering right now how many wetbacks are risking it on the border out of fear of these assholes. People will be able to claim political asylum...When these assholes do a drive by, they probably don't worry too much about collateral damage. Hard too, when you're using a Uzi.

Now, I have no idea what the hell we should do about this, although taking the money out of the drug business might not be a bad idea. However, we need to do something, or the worst fears of the drooling Minuteman community and their many deranged supporters will become true. Where are Chris and the boys when you need them?

Oh,yeah, they're in Blackwater...err, XE; or, Iraq. Or dead...

No need for badasses.

We could cut the problem down to a manageable size by legalizing weed.

The sixties have been over for almst 40 years. I'm pretty sure it's OK to get over our fear of hippies and beatniks by now.

There is an eternal need for badasses whose hearts are pure. Of course, not a lot of them to go around.
