MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry said on Saturday he would get the U.S. military involved in Mexico's war with drug cartels, in comments likely to upset the Mexican government.


This Makes Rick Perry Look Weak on Smaller Government, sounds just like alot bush.



Great another war not being 3 concurring wars iraq, afghanistan, and, libya. Hey let’s start a fourth war China will be more than happy to lend us a couple of hundred billion to have another war. Perry you are starting to have that extremely rare commodity, you are making Obama look like the lesser of two evils so vote for Obama, because eventhough Obama will be bad, Perry will be worse.

Yes there is a drug problem in Mexico and the United States. The Mexican drug cartels biggest cash crop is marijuana, with that money they fund their other illicit drugs and operations. Take that money from them and you will but a serious cash constraints and financial hurting on the cartels. Legalized marijuana in the united states would do that. The law would need to state it has to be grown here. That would also put significant relief to or police department and government agencies because it would no longer be a crime. They could then concentrate on other illegal activities. It would also create a thriving business in the U.S. they could make the law state that a liquor license is required to sell it. Bottom line is if you really want to significantly hurt the mexican cartels take the biggest piece of pie away from them. That Financial loss for them will do far more to reduce their threat to Mexico and the U.S. than any military or police action could, for far less money and a significantly less loss of life….



Ron Paul could use this to attack Rick Perry and his stance on the drug war. a war and even the idea of sending the military into Mexico would be the worst mistake since iraq and libya.

What you think?

It makes him look strong on the border and strong against drugs though. That was the whole idea. His border comments in the previous debate sunk him. Now he is going extreme to mask the in-state tuition.

Besides, why attack down? Perry's campaign is a sinking ship.

ABC attack anybody for just about anything, and I doubt their audience is very conservative. Many in the Tea Party are neocons. Small government doesn't apply when it is the military. These comments from him will probably be a net positive.

On the other hand, Ron attacking Perry in front of a Republican audience for wanting to be too tough on drugs is like Hilary attacking Obama for being too tough on the rich in front of a liberal audience. Why would he draw attention to his unpopular view?
