The newspaper NYT reproaches that they won't follow the war against the drug dealer
México. - The newspaper NYT in their emission of last Monday (6/11/12), he comments in its pages the concern that goes a long way in the government circles of the White House, in front of the promise of all the presidential candidates of looking for a reduction of the violence, to take out to the country of the gremlins massacre in that Mexico is sunk. According to the poured information, the American officials abstain in their great majority from formulating declarations about the pruritus that seems plague and to all the officials it has invaded.

Although some formulate declarations about the security, in order to avoid interference accusations, some as the republican representative for Arizona, Ben Quayle, they wonder openly “if the next (Mexican) president it will be made of the turn a blind eye before the cartels and it will give the country to the drug traffic, or if he will be a partner willing to collaborate with The States in the antidrug combat". The Newyorker newspaper reproaches to the residential applicant of the PRI, Enrique Peña Nieto that doesn't make "stress in stopping drug shipments and in the capture of capos di tutti capi", and he also complains that its rivals, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, coincide with the Mexico State’s man in prioritizing the decrease of the bodies for the violence generated due to the strategy to the organized delinquency that applies Felipe Calderon Hinojosa administration.

So much the concerns made openly by the newspaper as its posture on the positions of the Mexicans presidential applicants as regards combat to the drug traffic have a clear interference tone, particularly undesirable in electoral times. The precedent of the intervention of the embassy of The States exists in the succession process of 2006 (documented by a cable of Wikileaks from 2/21/06) and it would be completely unacceptable to repeat that experience later six years. Apart from this, the concerns exhibited by the mentioned newspaper are sample of the hypocrisy and the moral double of the American political class in the combat to the drugs.

It had already previously been mentioned as some high officials of Barak Obama's government to try to control the movements of weapons and laundry of money of the cartels of the drug traffic they were linked by through of the government agency in charge of controlling alcohol, tobacco, and the firearms (ATF), and the own general procurator Eric Holder is mixed in that episode. Recently it was given to know that the American Department of combat to the drug traffic (DEA) it participated in operations of laundry of money for the drug dealers of the south of the Grande River.

The merchants of weapons Americans make great business
The merchants of the south fringe of The States (Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California), they make money selling weapons without any control official, knowingly that good part they are correspondents to the delinquency organized in Mexico, and it doesn't have news that the government from Washington carries out a police significant effort against the introduction of illicit drugs for the common frontier neither that he determines to dismantle the distribution nets of enervating in his own territory. Apart from this president Obama announced in passed April a “radical turn” in the strategy of the country of the bars and the stars, consistent in prioritizing the prevention t treatment of addicts on the penal persecution of the narcotics.

In such circumstances, it is grotesque that political and means of the neighboring nation that they have a sleepless night in the face of the possibility that in Mexico it is carried out a similar change direction or that at least arrives to the power a governor with the good direction required to give priority to disable the bathroom of blood in that the country is debated and that it is, in good measure, result of the application without of critical and submit American strategy that until in Washington they have been seen they expire and anachronic.
The general attorney of USA retains information on Fast and Furious
A commission of the Congress of The States announced (6/11/12) that the following week it could accuse from contempt to the General Attorney, Eric Holder, for documents that he requested him in the context of the investigation for the bankrupt operation of smuggling of weapons in Mexico, not having surrendered denominated Fast and Furious. The announcement of the Commission of Supervision and Government Reformation of the Chamber of Representatives, presided over by the republican Darrel Issa, and supported for Charles Grassley, it was underrated by the White House whose spokesman, Jay Carney, described him as “worse politics".

In accordance with the republican Issa the Department of Justice has refused to give documents key with the argument that they show internal deliberations of the institution and that they were created after February 4, 2011, it dates in that such department “emitted a false negation to the Congress “ about its knowledge of the polemic operation. A border agent was murdered in Mexican territory with the weapons smuggled by the ATF, for supposedly to track to the cartels.

The objective of the citation of the Congress is in fact to have access to the documents managed starting from that date. The actions of the Department of Justice have obstructed the investigation about Fast and Furious, it denounce Issa. The controversial operation was begun in 2009, when agents of the ATF, made favorable the entrance of 2 thousand weapons of high caliber to Mexico from Arizona. Brian Terry, in December of 2011, untied the scandal and it caused the investigation of the Congress that for more than one year it demands the General Attorney’s head.
