Thread: While Felipe Calderon Meddles in U.S. Affairs, Mexico Burns

By John W. Lillpop

Mexican President Felipe Calderon spends most of his time, or so it seems, fretting about doings in the United States at the expense of governing Mexico, which is now certifiably a third-world, failed state.

Whether it involves obsessing about the execution of murderer-rapist Humberto Leal Garcia in Texas, or laws passed to combat illegal immigration in Arizona, Indiana, Georgia, and Alabama, President Calderon needs to concern himself less with American politics and more with the out-of-control violence consuming Mexico.

For example, as reported at the reference, while Calderon was fuming about the justibiable execution of Humberto Garcia, 40 Mexicans were being slaughtered in Mexico City:



[i]MEXICO CITY — Fighting among the Zetas gang and other vicious drug cartels led to the deaths of more than 40 people whose bodies were found in three Mexican cities over a 24-hour span, a government official said Saturday.

At least 20 people were killed and five injured when gunmen opened fire in a bar late Friday in the northern city of Monterrey, where the gang is fighting its former ally, the Gulf Cartel, said federal security spokesman Alejandro Poire.

Eleven bodies shot with high-powered rifles were found earlier Friday, piled near a water well on the outskirts of Mexico City, where the gang is fighting the Knights Templar, Poire said. That is an offshoot of the La Familia gang that has terrorized its home state of Michoacan.
Poire said an additional 10 people were found dead early Saturday in various parts of the northern city of Torreon, where the Zetas are fighting the Sinaloa cartel headed by Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.

"The violence is a product of this criminal rivalry ... surrounding the intent to control illegal activities in a community, and not the only the earnings that come with it, but also with transporting drugs to the United States," Poire said in a news conference.

Poire provided no more details on the killings in Torreon in the border state of Coahuila.

Coahuila state officials said the 10 bodies in Torreon had been mutilated and left in a sports-utility vehicle. Seven of the victims were men and three were women, and all had been killed several days earlier, said Fernando Olivas, a state prosecutor's representative in Torreon.

In Monterrey, 16 people died at the Sabino Gordo bar in the worst mass killing in memory in the northern industrial city, where violence has spiked since the Gulf and Zetas broke their alliance early last year. Four others died later at the hospital, said Jorge Domene, security spokesman for the state of Nuevo Leon, where Monterrey is located.

Domene said at a news conference that six people were wounded, two of them critically.

At least two men emerged from their vehicles and opened fire on the bar with AK-47s and AR-15s, Domene said. Several of the victims were employees of the bar, which has led police to conclude that employees were targeted, he said.

Cocaine was being sold at the bar and ziplock bags of drugs were found at the crime scene, Domene said.â€

Ol Felipe needs to call "the strongest and brightest young men and women" back home! Instead of making babies and sucking the life out of this country, they could reclaim theirs from the drug lords!!!!

He wants to take the attention off his own failures and preach at us all the time!
