It seems pretty apparent that the Military Mexico has now is incapable of dealing with the cartels. Quite possibly because they are in league with the cartels.

I do not believe Mexico is able to secure their own State, and I doubt they would allow us to do it either, but it isn’t a totally bad idea.

Gov. Perry has a good working relationship with Mexico since Texas shares a 1250 border with them and they are the number one trading partner of the U.S.

He would be able to get something done. And seal the border.

Obama can’t and won’t.

I sure don’t have the answers, but it’s apparent something needs to be done.

It sure does get their attention. IOW, if they don't want us fixing the problem with, or without them, they better get on it.

Mexico is a failed state, comparable to Afghanistan in its incompetence in the face of drug-dealing warlords.

The economic benefits of wiping out the cartels (and the corrupt officials in cahoots with them) would far outweigh the negative short-term consequences of intervening more aggressively (even at the cost of transferring some troops from Afghanistan to North America).
