Obama Administration: More Concerned With Mexican Swine Flu Than Mexican Drug Cartels
Friends of Ours ^

Josh Meyer for the Tribune newspapers reports that Sinaloa cartel leader Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman "has instructed his army of associates to use deadly force if necessary to protect their increasingly contested trafficking operations, even against U.S. law enforcement": "Reports of Guzman's recent activities, gathered through U.S. informants, wiretaps and other means, have prompted a flurry of warnings to local, state and federal authorities in border states. They said they have been instructed to use extreme caution when confronting people suspected of smuggling drugs and illegal aliens north from Mexico, or ferrying weapons and cash south from the United States, officials familiar with those warnings said."

Probably more Americans can relate to the flu, than with drug cartels.

Never waste a good crises. The flu could, if spun properly, usher in health care welfare. Even better, martial law. What a gift! If only the infected peasants would die. Wouldn't that be an opportunity!

The cartels have killed more Americans than the swine flu.

True, but most normal people just don’t associate with cartel people. Flu just has a lot more relevancy in their lives.
