I've been looking for the outrage but all the recent reaction I could find from the Mexican Foriegn Minister was from http://newish.info/28808-mexico-rejects-any-arms-smuggling-operation-from-the-united-states
It sounds lukewarm at best, in my opinion, for a reaction to what some call an international act of aggression...
Rome, 5 Oct (Notimex) .- The government of Mexico does not accept or have accepted, becoming aware, any operation involving transfer of arms from the United States or another country, Mexican Foreign Minister said today Patricia Espinosa.
“We have no official information on this topic, but I would say very strongly that in no way the government of Mexico would accept or had accepted, becoming aware, any operation involving the transfer of weapons,” he said.
Espinosa referred to the version published by the American press, that in addition to the operational “Fast and Furious” there was one called “Open Receiver” between 2006 and 2007 also allowed the illegal entry of weapons into Mexico.
“These are illegal activities that reject, condemn and will continue to fight with all the force of the State,” said the official involved in the V Conference Italy-Latin America and the Caribbean began on Wednesday at the headquarters of the Italian Foreign Ministry...
On the other hand, the Mexican Senate and the President of it's public safety committee, Felipe Gonzales and Mexico's Attorney General, Marisela Morales hold a more stern opinion as reported by Sipsey Street Irregulars.
But that's to be expected since they, the Mexican Senate and AG, are maintaining, as our politicians and bureaucrats do, a Nationalist pretense.
All the NAU machinations are accomplished and cloaked by the Canadian, Mexican and US State Department's. I expect the Mexican people will be just as surprised as the Canadian and US citizens will be when the NAU is announced. They may even be happier, thinking that anything would be better than what they have been subject to.
But they'd be wrong.
What I saw was a video interview that had been translated. Their government spokesman was Irate.
I mean IRATE.
If I can find it I will be sure to get it to you. It may take me time though. As I said, I haven;t heard anything else on it, i think it is more a political silencing than anything between Obama and mexico. he didn’t want their anger spilling out against him.
They must have made some deal.
