Just ignorant blathering...do you actually think this is a priority? Let me get this straight, it is Prsident Bush's fault northern Mexico is full of bandits and criminals? How is he supposed to "stand up to" Fox and Calderon? What, if the bandits are not cleaned up we are going to invade? I have a kidney stone, should I blame Bush? FYI it is not our president's fault to clean up the Mexican local and federal police. If you are not comfortable with the situation there DO NOT GO THERE. Don't just say "oh, the Bush administration is not getting the job done." It is not their job to do. There is plenty to blame on Bush...but this has noting to do with him.
