Clinton Says U.S. to blame for deaths of police officers, soldiers and civilians in Mexico resulting from drug violence

And so the Obama mentality continues...

Yes, Hillary and Barry basically blame the U.S. for all the problems in the world.

So based on that premise, the world would be a utopia if the U.S. would suddenly vanish. It would be a world free of drug violence and free of any other kind of problem.

Hillary's logic that if the U.S. didn't have a drug problem, the drug violence in Mexico would end is BS! Mexico has a huge drug problem that the drug cartels have to feed. Without the U.S. demand, the drug cartels just have a smaller market to service.

How could a drug habit ever start if there were no drugs available to abuse? No, the U.S. is not to blame for the Mexican Drug Violence.

Mexico let the Drug Cartels take over the country. If the Mexican Police (oxymoron) had done their job, the drug problem in the U.S. could never have reached the current level. You can't be a user without a supplier. Please don't lay this problem at the feet of the United States.

Honestly, for you to blame the U.S. for the Mexican drug violence is absurd and embarassing.

By the way, did you give the Mexican President a "No Drug Violence" button to push when you arrived?

P.S. Please do not miss Clintons sly jab at the gun community with her comment "Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the death of police officers, soldiers and civilians,"

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - An "insatiable" appetite in the United States for illegal drugs is to blame for much of the violence ripping through Mexico, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday.

Clinton acknowledged the U.S. role in Mexico's vicious drug war as she arrived in Mexico for a two-day visit where she discussed U.S. plans to ramp up security on the border with President Felipe Calderon.

A surge in drug gang killings to 6,300 last year and fears the violence could seep over the border has put Mexico's drug war high on President Barack Obama's agenda, after years of Mexico feeling that Washington was neglecting a joint problem.

"Our insatiable demand for illegal drugs fuels the drug trade. Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the death of police officers, soldiers and civilians," Clinton told reporters during her flight to Mexico City.
