Gates: U.S. Military Can Help Mexico in Drug War
03/01/09 11:34 AM

WASHINGTON – Defense Secretary Robert Gates says the U.S. is in the
position to provide more help to Mexico in the fight against drug
cartels operating near the U.S. border.
Gates says some of the old biases against cooperation between the U.S.
and Mexican militaries are being set aside amid the growing violence. He
sees the U.S. providing Mexico with training, resources and surveillance
and intelligence capabilities.
In Gates' words, the border drug war is "clearly a serious problem."
Gates also praises Mexican President Felipe Calderon (fay-LEE'-pay
kahl-duh-ROHN') for taking on the drug cartels. The Pentagon chief says
one reason the situation has gotten so bad is that previous Mexican
presidents wouldn't deal with the problem head-on.
Gates was interviewed on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Change you can believe in.

All that needs to be done is legalize drugs like we did Alcohol when Al
Capone and other criminals took over the supply of alcohol just like
drugs are supplied by criminals now.

It would take the BIG money out of the business for illegal dealers.
Also if you changed to The http://fairtax.org sales tax then the illegal
drug dealers would be paying a tax on their ill gotten gains and would
have even less money in their pocket, making it that much less
profitable for them. Then it wouldn't pay to deal drugs considering the
jail time and no untaxed high incomes. Deflation in the illegal Drug
markets.

I don't think the CIA wants to give up it's cash cow.
