But this article gives me pause about what I read:
The U.S. government is working on an integrated plan to address Mexico's escalating war with drug traffickers and could complete work on the initiative as early as this week, a top U.S. military official said on Tuesday.
Air Force Gen. Gene Renuart, who oversees U.S. military interests on both sides of the U.S.-Mexican border as the head of Northern Command, told the Senate that the plan would likely involve all agencies of government including law enforcement and the military.
So, good. I'll give the president the benefit of the doubt on this. Good for him. This could be a serious and expensive problem if we don't help now when the problem is solvable at a more manageable price.
