the pushersman's supply route war

The drug lords and their soldiers are blamed for having killed more than 6,300 people since January 2008, including more than 1,000 in the first two months of this year alone.

That’s about 100 people every week for the last 14 months.

here's a littleknowledge about the mexican drug war going down from wikipedia---

In March 2009, President Calderón called in an additional 5000 Mexican Army troops to Ciudad Juárez. The United States Department of Homeland Security has also said that it is considering using the National Guard as a last resort to counter the threat of drug violence in Mexico from spilling over the border into the US. The governors of Arizona and Texas have asked the federal government to send additional National Guard troops to help those already there supporting local law enforcement efforts against drug trafficking...


According to former presidents Fernando Henrique Cardoso of Brazil, Ernesto Zedillo of Mexico and César Gaviria of Colombia, the United States-led drug war is pushing Latin America into a downward spiral; Mr. Cardoso said in a conference that "the available evidence indicates that the war on drugs is a failed war".[99] The panel of the Latin American Commission on Drugs and Democracy commission, headed by Cardoso, stated that the countries involved in this war should remove the "taboos" and re-examine the anti-drug programs. Latin American governments have followed the advice of the U.S. in order to combat the drug war, but the policies had little effect. The commission made some recommendations to President Barack Obama to consider new policies, such as decriminalization of cannabis and to treat drug use as a public health problem and not as a security problem

---and just a person opinion note, if they really did wipe out drug money and ops the us economy would seriously collapse, no doubt. y not legalize and get some revenue and regulation and make peoples lives safer. wait, that would make sense, compared to a zero tolerance, racially discriminatory policy that leads us to lock up more of our citizens than any other country in the world. ah, the land of the free.

A Deal With Russia?

Peter Baker of the New York Times reports on the latest diplomatic move from Barack Obama:


President Obama sent a secret letter to Russia’s president last month suggesting that he would back off deploying a new missile defense system in Eastern Europe if Moscow would help stop Iran from developing long-range weapons, American officials said Monday.

....The officials who described the contents of the message requested anonymity because it has not been made public. While they said it did not offer a direct quid pro quo, the letter was intended to give Moscow an incentive to join the United States in a common front against Iran.

I'm not sure what to make of this. The story shows every sign of being an official leak, something that Obama wanted to make public prior to Hillary Clinton's meeting with the Russian foreign minister later this week. But does making it public really help its chances of being accepted? Doesn't seem like it. Or perhaps the leak was designed more to put pressure on Iran than it was to put pressure on Russia?

Very odd. Consider me mystified by this.

Obama said earmarks were a problem, but he said McCain’s proposal to cut taxes by $300 billion — most of which he claimed would go to the wealthy — would more than wipe out any revenue savings from eliminating them.

Obama said, “Now, $18 billion is important, but $300 billion is more important.”
