Drug Cartel-Related Murders Exceed 10,000 for Year So Far, According to a Mexican Newspaper Tally | CNSnews.com

newspaper Reforma.

As of November 19, the newspaper’s Ejecutómetro (execution-meter) stood at 10,514 for 2010. With an estimated 230 killings a week in the last two months, the cartel-related murders for 2010 could reach 12,000 by the end of the year.

That figure is about twice the overall number of U.S. military fatalities in Iraq and Afghanistan combined, which currently stand at about 5,700 for 2010, as reported by CNSNews.com.

The Reforma newspaper shows that since Felipe Calderón became president of Mexico in December 2006, there have been 24,534 killings attributed to drug cartel violence, a more conservative estimate than the Mexican government’s official estimate of 28,000.

Reforma’s tally includes the murders of police officers, members of the military, and people under 18 years of age. It does not specify nationality of those killed, although most were Mexicans. The tally includes approximately 800 killings after torture and more than 300 decapitations.

I seen a # today that said 30,000+ people have been killed this year.

And I seen today where At least 140 escape prison in Nuevo Laredo

If anybody is gonna slow down the cartels it sure as hell isn't Mexico, America might as well take a hint from the show The Wire & create Hamsterdams in every city. Have the government support & supply the program and pay the pushers wages competitive to that of a census worker. There's lots of money in the illicit drug selling business & America should get aboard the train.

Hamsterdam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"legalization" of the illegal drug trade, and incidentally prostitution, within the limited boundaries of a few uninhabited city blocks.

Our guys will be chopping down innocent women & kids though, not many people can do that and keep good morale. Outside of the cartels that is.

Just an over reaction on my part. However, this was a trained specialist and if he saw these guys toting weapons across the border I say chop on.

I was passed along a blog site address that is following this war exclusively. Its graphic as you might assume, but here is the address for those of you interested in seeing the cartels broken down and the history behind them.

borderlandbeat.com

It's a pretty informative and thorough site. Just a bit graphic in some pictures.

Basically Mexico is the same as Colombia when the Colombian drug war was pretty active, I think it can be eventually won but it'll take years.

Do you honestly believe that we "won" the "drug war" against Columbia?

Sure, we killed Pablo Escobar; however, all we did was force Columbians to stop shipping their product direct from Columbia to Miami. In doing so, we introduced a new middleman called "Mexico".
