"Canada and Mexico are not relationships that can be put aside," said Peschard-Sverdrup. "The countries are joined at the hips."

Note the blatant propaganda in the article about drug gangs buying “automatic weapons” in the USA. If they were stupid enough to buy a Class III weapon, the serial number could be traced immediately back to the buyer. Balderdash.

Mexico is becoming a serious threat to the U.S. with the violence. I believe it is getting worse in border cities. I don’t know what the answer it but I know a lot of innocent people in Mexico are being murdered. There’s a small war going on and a destablized Mexico would be disastorous for us. Imagine how many more will be coming here.

Bush had his priorities.

Mexico’s drug violence should have been handled by MEXICO.

Here's a snippet of the “drug war, trade” talk that they'll have:

Calderon: Those border agents are getting to be a pain.

Obammie the Commie: I'll continue the failed policy of the last 8 years.

Calderon: And what is that?

OtC: No fence. Talk in glowing terms about illegal immigrants. Try to legalize them. Ignore the incursions of your police and military forces over our border. Jail as many agents as I can.

Calderon: And what else can I expect?

OtC: I'll open our highways to your truckers and allow them to come and go as they please, thus aiding illegal immigration and drug trafficking.

Calderon: Good. Very good. And now, what can I give you in return?

OtC: Just a kilo every year or so. I never did kick that habit, and, luckily, the press never demanded my medical records. Thank God for Bill Clinton, setting that precedent.

(Hey, if the left can say Bush was unqualified because he had been and therefore still was an alcoholic, we can still assume and accuse Obammie the Commie, the self-admitted coke head, that he still uses, until he proves otherwise, and that this usage is an Achilles heel on his ability to govern.)

Since the topic is drugs, it probably means Obama will be asking where he can buy the best Mexican weed.

Mexico wants Washington to do more to curb drug-taking in the United States and gun smuggling from north of the border because drug hitmen buy automatic weapons and other guns legally in the United States and bring them back to Mexico to use in the turf battles that killed 5,700 people last year.

I think the author is stretching the truth here, either because of ignorance or willfull propagandist reasons.

When clinton was President he had connections with the major drug cartels, and I think got a rakeoff from Mexico.

It’ll be interesting to see if Obama re-establishes those connections and starts taking his 5%. Clinton was involved in drug smuggling from the time he was a teenager. I don’t know whether Obama ever was involved in the trade. At least I don’t think it’s been suggested that he ever went beyond being a user.

“We can put people in jail but we are not addressing the root causes of the problem,” said Peschard-Sverdrup, who was to dine with Calderon on Sunday evening...”

The root? Mexico. SECURE the border!

And Calderon wants more money! That billion and half we just sent didn’t make a dint in their corruption.
