Cartel Gunmen Fire on El Paso City Hall
Another front in the border war being ignored by the corrupt and treasonous Obama administration:
From the El Paso Times:
EL PASO – Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott today demanded that President Obama send more troops to the Texas-Mexico border and used the shots that hit El Paso City Hall as an example of increased violence on the border.
Abbott said in a letter that the seven shots that hit City Hall in El Paso were an example of the violence that is plaguing the border area and that sending 1,200 National Guard soldiers to the entire U.S.-Mexico border is not enough.
He also cited the violence in Juarez and said that Americans lives are at risk.
“More than 1,300 people have been murdered in Juárez this year as a war continues relentlessly between the Juárez and Sinaloa drug cartels,” he told Obama.
He also said the “time for talk has passed.”
It has indeed. Forget the Libertarian Utopianism that drives this debate into the “if we legalize pot the violence will end” territory, this is about power. Transnational non-state actors have taken power not just from Mexico which in many respects is a failed state, but from America who have recently ceded 3,500 acres of territory to the cartels working in both the drug and slave trade. Cartel allied gangs have forward observation bases in Arizona and Mexican paramilitaries have engaged police in border towns in firefights we would usually associate with the battlefields of Afghanistan.
John Robb’s theory of 4th generation warfare is key to understanding the conflict, but so is the realization that the “drug war” is not about drugs, or human trafficking or aiding terror. These things are incidental to the rise of the non-state authority. We are at war with Mexican warlords who are more powerful than our supposed allies in the Mexican state and until we realize that we will continue losing American territory to the Reconquest.
