MEXICO MARINES KILL CARTEL LEADER

Today, the Mexican Marines raided the enclave of one of that country's Drug Cartel's fortress. After a 2 hour fierce gun battle with Cartel Members, the Marines scored a great victory. At the end of the battle, complete with Hellicopter Gunships. it was discovered that the leader of the Cartel had been killed.

Great for the Marines. great for Mexico.

Isn't it time that the U.S. military have some direct enforcement efforts in the U.S."War on Drugs". How about a Military blockade of shipments coming from South America, Central America and now from the Middle East.

While the U.S. Coast Guard is very active in the Caribbean and siezing tons of Marijuana, it's the Cocaine and Heroin that needs attention.

U.S. DEA Agents, with the cooperation of Columbia Military and Federal Police search the jungles for cocaine labs, with search and destroy missions, they seem to be looking for a needle in the deep forest of the jungles of South America.

America needs a more effective blockade, not only along the Mexican Border, but at all harbors, incoming tanker ships, fishing vessels, and at the airports.

It's time to declare a "WAR" on Drugs... not the 35+ years of "War on Drugs" that each Presodent has cited, yet little follow-up.

America needs better than words and titles..We need action at our borders, in our cities and a tougher stance on drug dealers at all levels, from the importers to the labs the street dealers and the abusers.

All levels of our society need to get involved, from the treatment aspect to the enforcement effort.

Drugs effect your children, families and our culture. Our Criminal Justice system has become a formal method of "Turnstyle" justice. In they come, out they go, street dealers, abusers and even importers.

Stiffer penalties, rehab centers and supervision over "kids at risk" may provide the guidance to reduce the risk to the community.

I speak from direct experience in the law enforcement community some thirty + years ago. Heard the same as we hear today, seen the same, as we see today...lots of lip service, little action. Don't blame the police, all they have been doing for decades is "shoveling it against the tide", while the politicians claim victories during staged press conferences. Some great work is going on by Poilce Officers, and DEA agents, but they are limited in thier ability to reduce the volume of drugs that are hitting our streets.

From organized street and drug gangs, to motorcycle gang distibution and transportation, many of out law enforcers put thier lives on the line everyday, working as "Undercover" agents to penetrate these organizations of drug dealers, street dealers and importers.

The reality is that "National Intervention", enforcement and control of our borders will reduce a level of street drugs.

This is dedicated to the numerous officers who over the past several decades who have given thier lives while acting as undercover operatives throughout the U.S. Honor thier sacrifice, and thier families sacrifice by demanding better control of the import of drugs to our cities and children.
