Make no mistake - it's a WAR.

Mexico Under Siege: The Drug War at our Doorstep

Mexico Braces for a Deadlier War

And what are we doing about it? Not a damn thing. When AZ tries to stop the illegal traffic of drugs and people, it gets sued by obama. When other states ask for help, they get token dribs and drabs. Haven't we learned anything from Viet Nam, Iraq, and Afghanistan? If you want to win a war, go in with enough force to do so. Otherwise you're just wasting time, money, and lives.

Of course, this assumes that we have a commander-in-chief with enough brains to realize it's a war, and enough cojones to do the right thing.

obama is short on both counts...
