Iraq was perfect "on-the-job" training for a US invasion into Mexico; and the years of occupation in Iraq allowed conditions to fester enough, that a US military invasion of Mexico would be welcomed from either side of the border. As Mexico becomes a "War on Drugs" torn country, many will see this US invasion as their saving grace... and it seems the only way to curb cartel destruction of Mexico. With unlimited resources of the cartel gangs like Los Zetas, makes police law enforcement a poor band-aid for the open chest-wound of the cartels underworld. Also with aspirations for a North American Union, it won't be too long before we see this as a necessity and not just an option.
"Like it or Not: Mexico is America's Next Afghanistan...
With the exception of, perhaps, Texas governor Rick Perry, no public official wants to publicly admit an obvious fact: The United States of America will likely be forced to invade Mexico. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. The question then becomes: What to do with Mexico after we invade it and wipe out the drug cartels...?"
http://www.redstate.com/laborunionreport...Whether or not we see this as the first executive order of the newest President of the United States, or the last one from the current Chief of Staff... a US invasion of Mexico is inevitable. And it is obvious why the US allowed border conditions to degrade to such a state; most people don't have the resolve to support a war that cannot be done remotely. So public outcry threatening mutiny if something isn't done, becomes the vehicle to get the overall plan supported and executed. So forgive Obama for not "securing" your southern border... there is a greater game afoot!
Am I being pessimistic? Not at all... just merely taking an objective look at the picture from a norther perspective. It is great timing calling the Iraqi troops home, just to get them recharged, refueled and reloaded to take care of business! This is a real war of Homeland Defense and patriotism... who wouldn't sign up for this action?
And the thing is those in Mexico see daily the death and wanton destruction of cartel induced anarchy... nobody need "sell" the idea of stability to them. As a byproduct America can appear to be cleaning up her own backyard for once !:]
At the end of the day... saying "Who called it" won't be much comfort.
Is the U.S. Preparing to Militarize the Streets of America or Invade Mexico?

"It may require our military in Mexico," Perry said in answer to a question about the growing threat of drug violence along the southern border. Perry offered no details, and a spokesman, Robert Black, said afterward that sending troops to Mexico would be merely one way of putting an end to the exploding cartel-related violence in the region."

My apologies the first part of the later paragraph should have read...

This is a must watch on the "Fast and Furious" fiasco, Mexican Government wants these federal "gunrunners" arrested!
