Setting Us Up to Invade Mexico?
WMD and Iraq All Over Again?
Washington Post -- September 9   
Mexico's war compared to insurgency
    Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday that the surging drug violence in Mexico now resembles that of war-torn Colombia a generation ago, with criminal cartels looking like "insurgencies" battling for control of territory.
    "It's looking more and more like Colombia looked 20 years ago, where the narco-traffickers controlled certain parts of the country," Clinton said at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington. [...]
    In her remarks, Clinton repeated that U.S. drug consumption was helping to feed the violence in Mexico, where more than 28,000 people have died in drug violence since Calderon sent his military after the cartels in December 2006.
Glenn Spencer -- American Patrol Report
    Is Clinton setting us up to invade Mexico based on false information? The Mexican drug war started when we began building fences and barriers along the border and it will end when we finish the job. Sounds like WMD and Iraq all over again.
