Much like the late Osama bin Laden, the man the U.S. calls the world's most powerful drug lord apparently has been hiding in plain sight.
Mexican federal police nearly nabbed Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman in a coastal mansion in Los Cabos three weeks ago, barely a day after U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with dozens of other foreign ministers in the same southern Baja peninsula resort town.
Jose Cuitlahuac Salinas, Mexico's assistant attorney general in charge of organized crime investigations, confirmed on Sunday that there was a near miss in late February in the government's efforts to arrest the man who has become one of the world's top fugitives since he escaped prison in a laundry truck in 2001.
I wonder if “El Brad Pitt” was there, too?!
[ that there was a near miss in late February in the government’s efforts to arrest the man ]
Duuuugh.. jeesze I wonder how that happened.. DOH!..
I wonder if Hillary(!) was making some new “Fast and Furious” dealings?
They left each other alone. PROFESSIONAL COURTESY.
“Hey Chapo, we’re going to raid your place in 90 minutes. Don’t let us see any guns or drugs! Why not go have some lunch?”/s;)
Is it not true that one might be in business with and providing protection for the other? Protection and cash and guns and drugs and Mexican armies and ATF and BP and DEA getting equipment and guns and ammo and money and letting guns walk and drugs walk and cash walk? Like a military industrial drug and governments complex?
What would Alinsky do?
She should know. She wrote her thesis on Alinsky.
Her lesbian buddy Napolitano has the US side under control along with the liar Holder. Calderon and El Chapo handle the other side.

Do you know anything about Calderon? Apart from anything else, he has taken the fight to the cartels. Both his 2nd in commands have ended up dead in mysterious plane crashes.
One of those "birds of a feather" thing?
Calderon is a Spanish speakIng Karzai as far as I can tell. Seems like he is working both sides of the street. So is Hilly for that matter.

This is a Hillary Clinton whale tail — yes, the Secretary of State put her life on the line ... going face-to-face with a giant creature, and TMZ has the pics.
Hills was in Los Cabos, Mexico last weekend for the G20 summit — but before the snooze fest kicked off ... she went whale watching!
Madam Secretary was taking in the sights with a bunch of diplomats ...

Drug Lord Escapes Again: Who’s Tipping Him Off?
American officials have become so frustrated with a Mexican drug lord’s ability to elude capture that they’ve started telling jokes about it.
Time and again, U.S. drug agents have provided Mexican law enforcement with precise intelligence about the safe houses where Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, head of the Sinaloa drug cartel, is hiding. And every time the Mexicans raid a house, the man that the U.S. government calls “the most powerful drug trafficker in the world” manages to escape at the last minute through the back door.
“Every time he gets away, they tell us, ‘He got out the back door,’” said one American official. U.S. drug agents have started to joke that “there is no word for ‘surround’ in Spanish.”
Behind the jokes, however, is concern that someone in Mexican law enforcement is tipping off Guzman, allowing him to escape just ahead of the raids. During the 1990s, problems with leaks of U.S. intelligence helped delay the capture or killing of several top players in the Colombian drug cartels.
In El Chapo’s latest escape, he apparently went out the back door of a mansion in the beach resort of Los Cabos just before Mexican Federal Police raided the house. Several of his alleged associates were arrested and are in custody. The raid in late February came just a day after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other foreign dignitaries were in town for a meeting, and the U.S. was able to provide Mexican officials with precise intelligence about Guzman’s whereabouts.
In another recent near miss, according to U.S. officials, the Mexicans came so close to catching Guzman that his coffee was still warm.
