Mexico’s drug war–Bush’s third failed foreign war

If you think George Bush has only gotten us involved in two losing wars, think again. His third loser war is Mexico’s drug war. Bush pledged over a billion dollars of your money to aid the pointless Mexican war on drug users and sellers.

Here’s how it’s going.

(2007) The daily bloodshed includes an ambush that killed five soldiers this month, a severed head left with a defiant note outside a military barracks on Saturday and the slaying Monday of a top federal intelligence official who was shot in the face in his car outside his office in Mexico City.

(Today) Seven federal police officers were killed Tuesday in northwest Mexico in the latest in a series of drug-related violence, a spokesman for the federal police said. Another four officers were wounded and a civilian was killed during the incident, which occurred as police were conducting a weapons and drugs raid on a home in Culiacan, police spokesman Armando Arteaga said.

Is there an anti-drug war presidential candidate in the house?

[Oops, I forgot that Bush also has the US involved in a drug-related civil war in Colombia.]
