WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama was briefed Saturday by Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen about the drug wars in Mexico and wanted to know how the United States can help.

"Clearly one of the things the president was interested in was the U.S military capability that may or may not apply to our cooperation with the Mexicans," said a U.S. military official who requested anonymity because the discussions were private. "He was very interested in what kind of military capabilities may be applied."

Mullen briefed Obama Saturday morning about discussions with Mexican military leaders about the drug wars there.

Mullen, who was in Mexico on Friday, has referred to the recent spike in violence as a crisis. Mullen has said Mexico could borrow from U.S. tactics in the fight against terrorism as it battles a crisis of drug-related violence along the U.S.-Mexico border.

“...because your going to hear the words “humanitarian amendment” to allow millions to escape the violence “

“Obama is thinking, “What kind of tea should I serve after I’m done giving the drug lords head?””

The secret service agent reading this thread just blew coffee through his nose. You’ll probably get a visit just so he can hand you the dry cleaning bill.
