That's funny. They don't have to worry about our own police up here. And they don't worry about their own police down there. Why would sending their police up here excite anyone's imagination?

And “the DEA has set up an intelligence outpost–staffed by Central Intelligence Agency operatives and retired American military personnel—to a Mexican military base.” At the same time, senior military officers at the Northern Command in Colorado Springs, are helping analyze intelligence on the cartels. These are officers who were heavily involved in U.S. military operations in Afghanistan.
“The military is trying to take what it did in Afghanistan and do the same in Mexico,” one officer told the Times. Yikes

Yeah, "Yikes". It's NATO that is in Afghanistan and what a rousing success that is turning out to be.
Hey! Maybe Mexico is going to join NATO. After all, Turkey is a member of NATO, Mexico is at least as fit to join NATO as Turkey right?
ROTFLMAO. No I guess not
We are sending retired US military to Mexico? What the heck does that mean?
