I say we need to train up and gear up mexican military and police forces, right now they are small but known to do a little street justice and kick ass. Saw a story a few months ago where 4 cops were murdered so federales showed up in armored vehicles with fully automatic weapons and killed all cartel members involved, some even after they surrendered. Train enough people to get large forces this badass and the cartels will be fought into submission. They will live in fear like their victims do now.

There is too much corruption in the Mexican government to trust them to actually destroy the cartels. If we were to arm and train them, a week or two later, those guys would be working for the cartels for exponentially more pay than they were getting in the military/police

Better yet, do what k9870 said whilst also using the SpecOps guys. That way the cartels are attacked on 2 fronts

Gotta find who you want, a cop whos family was killed by cartels wont join one, a soldier whos neighborhood is under a cartel's control will want to see it freed. There are good people out there, not everyone can be turned.

I find it a litle hard to trust Mexican soldiers mainly because there is a huge problem with them going AWOL and working for the cartels. Hell, the Zetas were formed when a Mexican special forces unit deserted in the 90's and joined the drug trade

As to the election, we have a republican governor, he beat out an independent candidate who actually moved to china to run a business there and actively was involved in outsourcing jobs, while claiming to live here. That guy is not who we need hopefully the new governor vetos tax increases (our state is the highest tax burden per capita.)

we got the casino authorized finally, and its right near 2 cities with high unemployment so will offer jobs to those people.
