![]() "Into the paddy wagon wit' yez!" "Que? Que?" [ZZZZZAPPPPP!] "Don't taze me, bro!" All together 303 people were detained in 38 cities in 19 states during last two days while large amounts of illegal drugs, weapons as well as millions of U.S. dollars were also seized, he told reporters at a press conference in Washington, he said. That's about eight people per city. Doesn't seem that overwhelming when you look at it that way... Aside from the arrests, Holder said, authorities also seized more than 32 million dollars in cash, 1,265 kg of methamphetamine, nearly 2 tons of cocaine, about 7.2 tons of marijuana and 12 kg of heroin. Looked at that way, it's a bit more whelming...

#4 " A drop in the bucket" a very important first drop. The smuggling and crime is based off US demand. Attacking it at home is just as important as working in Mexico, Columbia, and Afghanistan. I hope the plan continues before they start shooting at our police. |

#1 This is really good news. The cartels have a stronghold in the US that is a major issue. I hope the arrests were leaders and not just soldiers managing storage and transfer points. Hat tip to the task force that pulled this off. I cant even imagine what almost 3,000 pounds of Meth looks like, let alone 2 tons of coke. |
