Bring home our troops and place them every 30m across the top of the wall. What the mines don't get, the Marines do. A field littered with the shattered bones of these idiots sends a message: stay out. Let them eat each other.

It is to start here at home. The damn problem is this country, we are so spoiled and take advantage of everything. We are the reason all of the turf war is going on. For the majority of distrabution of drugs is to the US, not europe or asia but the US. Like i said last time i know edgar and what we saw was there is pleanty of money to be made and why not be you making the money. I know that all of the other stuff he does is very bad, however if you would think that our president bush would put his time and money into the fight here at home, the problem would not go away, however it will reduce the rate of drug use and addicts in use, which could probably slow down the so called turf wars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-69567167158234204382007-04-18T16:26:00.000-05:002007-04-18T16:26:00.000-05:00will i know what it is like, for i use to run side...will i know what it is like, for i use to run side by side with edgar. Its not a walk in the park and when your in mexico it just the mexican way. Now you know why people leave mexico to come over here. they really have no choice, for the hourly pay sucks and well what is you other choice. If the goverment and all local authorities are doing it, why not you.

Interception of these drugs is only the begining. We must and have deterred some drug trafficing but it all starts with Mexico their failure to get a grip on the Cartels. The cartels are powerful and should not be underestimated. But they are weak at the same time.<BR/>We put our lives on the line in Iraq but what we should be doing is quit involing ourselves in all the foreign problems and start at home where we belong.triplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195003240593451611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-1163452443797980312006-11-13T15:14:00.000-06:002006-11-13T15:14:00.000-06:00ARRIBA SINALOA AND FUCK LAS ZETAS PINCHES PUTOS IT...ARRIBA SINALOA AND FUCK LAS ZETAS PINCHES PUTOS ITS ALL ABOUT THE SINALOA CARTEL BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-1133877282871828282005-12-06T07:54:00.000-06:002005-12-06T07:54:00.000-06:00Once more, the cure becomes worse than the disease...Once more, the cure becomes worse than the disease.

I've read several places that homemade meth never made up more than 20-30% of the total, with the rest coming from Mexico and so-called "superlabs" in California. A lot also comes north through Arizona. So while I wouldn't be shocked to learn that 70% of meth was non-homemade stuff from large producers, it sounds mistaken that every last bit of it comes through Nuevo Laredo.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, if we read it in the New York Times, it must be true, right? ;-) Best,Gritsforbreakfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152152869466958902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-1133791049348178682005-12-05T07:57:00.000-06:002005-12-05T07:57:00.000-06:00lindsey beyerstein,70% of the meth comes from Mexi...lindsey beyerstein,<BR/><BR/>70% of the meth comes from Mexico:<BR/><BR/>That meth is spelled with a y or myth. Spell check didn't work.<BR/><BR/>In order to believe DEA, you have to believe that a meth addict who lives in rural U.S.A. pefers to wait days, weeks, or months for meth to be manufactured, smuggled, and distributed even though the addict can make and feed that addiction instantly. <BR/><BR/>If that makes no sense, then send a FOIA request to DEA and ask them for the criteria they use to distinguish Mexican meth from locally produced meth; super lab meth from non-super lab meth. <BR/><BR/>Believe me, there is no credible way. DEA analyzes seized meth at it's crime labs and it determines purity and quantity. The lab also looks for other chemicals/adulterants but that analysis cannot determine the country of origin. <BR/><BR/>Every state in the U.S. is reporting record numbers of lab seizures yet according to DEA those rural labs could only produce 30% of the meth. Please.<BR/><BR/>Is it myth or meth?<BR/><BR/>Belive me, the only way you know that meth came from Mexico is because it's falsely being reported by DEA that way: Kinda like the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.<BR/><BR/>The CIA isn't the only agency that needs an enema.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-1133748292038079662005-12-04T20:04:00.000-06:002005-12-04T20:04:00.000-06:00Is it realistic to suppose that 70% of the meth so...Is it realistic to suppose that 70% of the meth sold in the USA is imported from Mexico?
