You'd think that the track records of police departments around America would preclude them from even getting a paintball gun...

wonder why a drone war isnt launched against the mexican drug cartels targeting leaders, facilities, transport?

[Whiterun Guard]

Obama was hogging them all to use on the other brown people.

i believe calderon would allow drone strikes

[Metazoan]

You'd probably have American civilian casualties.

And this administration cares about that?

[o3]

esp if involved w the cartels

[ant1sthenes]

Because that might end the drug war? Besides, they'd probably rather sell the drones to the drug cartels.

Does Ed live in Newark? Can't the Kochtopus free him from that nightmare?
