We have to personally thank this guy for the tactics that lead to beheadings, mass killings, and the wonderful stuff that has crept over the border to El Paso and the Rio Grande Valley.
There's only one way to take the money out of drugs, and stop the buying of US officials, which obviously has been happening for a long time, and at high levels.
