Thin Black Line

The usual agitprop piece. One can only speculate how this will play into
the North American Union and the troika's coordination of *security*
arrangements.

How about addressing the "drug-fueled" trade as the actual root of the
violence? Which came first to Mexico: the drugs or the guns?
We need a rolling-on-the-floor-laughing icon.
I was just at a large gunshow yesterday and I did not see a single RPG
for sale --not even out of the trunk of someone's car in the parking lot
Let's see if I understand this: the Mexican drug cartels can get cocaine from
Columbia and the FARC rebels, but the FARC draws the line when it comes
to selling them some RPGs? Puh-leeeze.
This is what passes for a "news conference"?! I can't take anymore
Surely, none of these weapons could be coming in from the "Ciudad del Este"
area of ***South*** America?!

MEXICO CITY - Mexico's top organized crime prosecutor called on U.S. officials Thursday to do more to halt illegal weapons trafficking to help Mexico stem a wave of bloody, drug-fueled violence.

"It's foreseeable that this type of violence will continue like this," Santiago Vasconcelos told a small group of foreign reporters, "because the Mexican government will never make any deals" with drug gangs.

The two alliances have begun using heavier weapons, like rocket-propelled grenades, Santiago Vasconcelos said. Most of those weapons come from the United States, and he called on Washington to do more to halt their flow south.

"We know that there is a large amount of arms traffic ... in the United States, that they have to bring under control," Santiago Vasconcelos said. "There's this incredibly big black market that has to be controlled."
"The last time we spoke with (U.S. officials), we told them ... 'If these types of weapons weren't flowing through, they'd have to use stones to attack each other,'" he said.
