As reported executively in the Laguna/El Paso Journal the Calderon administration was expected to rush more Mexican Army troops to the border cities of Juarez, Tijuana, Mexicali, Palomas and others. The first leg of that troop enforcement became an reality yesterday -- Hundreds more Mexican army soldiers arrived in Juárez under the cover of darkness as part of Joint Operation Chihuahua, intended to augment the Mexican governments war against the Mexican Drug Cartels operating in Mexico.

After seeing the film “Traffic” I have to wonder how many of them are representing both sides.

How about the movie "Man of Fire", regardless of a person's feelings about Denzel Washington, this movie is an excellent depiction of Mexican government corruption.

Chihuahua is a state in Mexico, bordering Texas and New Mexico.

That's real nice but at the Alamo we lost and didn't have our own government calling for a retreat.

Make gang membership punishable by death. Round up the drug gangs, and execute them. Put our military on this side of the border to cooperate with Mexico as gang bangers come this way to escape. Mexico better do it while it still has a military.

“Joint Operation Chihuahua”

-sounds about right, the entire country couldn’t p*** it’s way out of a paper bag, anyway.

[muleskinner]

I didn’t realize just how serious the situation is down there. Police chiefs asking for asylum? Mexico is becoming another Columbia - government officials are as likely to get whacked as a rival gang member. But with Mexico’s history of corruption, the government official might be a patron of the other gang. This is Chicago/New York of the ‘20’s and 30’s on a national scale.

Good. Somebody needs to put some extra security on the border. Might as well be there as here.

[Paladin2]

If we were serious about helping Mexico, we'd put troops on the border to perform a classic hammer and anvil.

Question:Why did the Mexican Army only have 500 men at the Alamo?

“Operation Chihuahua”

My last time in Mexico was “Operation Rolling Thunder.”

[nikos1121]

That movie depicts drug abuse among the young better than anything else out there.

Operation Taco (ring ‘em like a) Bell.
