America's Third War: Is The U.S. Arming Mexican Cartels? -- FOX News
If you ever watch video or look at pictures of the drug war in Mexico, you'll notice some pretty heavy weapons. This is a war being waged with rockets and plastic explosives, not pea shooters and Saturday Night Specials. Consider these incidents:

- Explosive projectiles and 21 grenades found during a raid in Guadalupe
- An unexploded grenade and pull ring used to attack a TV station in Monterrey

Update: Mexican drug gangs being armed with U.S. weapons -- Daily Mail
My Comment: The drug cartels are flushed with so much money .... that they can realistically buy weapons anywhere. But still .... with so many American weapons now fueling this conflict, a better U.S. - Mexican strategy to counter this flow of mayhem must be formulated. My suggestion to combat this trade .... and one that was used in Quebec, Canada when we had our biker/drug war in the 1990s .... complete seizure of assets and long prison terms for the arms traffickers.
