Hilly sez Messico = Columbia 20 years ago
2010-09-09
Clinton said Mexico is "looking more and more like Colombia looked 20 years ago."

Clinton suggested the U.S. was looking to implement a plan in which American special forces teams trained Colombian troops and U.S. advisers are attached to Colombian military units.
Kewl! Some media maven will call it "Vietnam next door"!
Shouldn't the Americans concentrate on training Mexican troops and attach to Mexican units? On the other hand, it seems to me something like that led to the Los Zetas, so perhaps sending them further south to Columbia is a better idea. Well done, Madame Secretary!

#1  ...except both Columbia and Vietnam never shared a physical border with the United States. For all her 'better education and experience' she seems not to be able to reach the rational deduction that seriously beefing up border security works for both parties on each side of that border.
