Not so sure this is the thing to do.\u00a0 “Kidnapped Americans” in this case means “American Drug Traffickers”.\u00a0 They went into Mexico illegally to purchase “medications”.<\/p>\n
As best I can tell a small group of “Americans” went to Mexico to purchase drugs that they can not buy legally in this country.\u00a0 Now, we are supposed to launch military rescue missions to save them?<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you continue to give safe haven to fentanyl drug dealers, then you\u2019re an enemy of the United States,\u201d Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The Cartels are Terrorist Organizations.\u00a0 But putting lives at risk to go rescue people that were supporting the Terrorists by purchasing their products seems, well… wrong.\u00a0 Not sure what fentanyl has to do with any of this, unless of course that was one of the “medications” they were planning to purchase.<\/p>\n
The senator said he would follow former\u00a0U.S. Attorney General William Barr\u2019s assessment\u00a0that the federal government should designate \u201cthe cartels as terrorist organizations.\u201d Graham also said he would get tough on Mexico, not just for the kidnapping but for the\u00a0overwhelming amount of illegal drugs crossing over the border.<\/p>\n
The former AG said\u00a0the U.S. needs to go a step further.<\/p>\n
\u201cMerely designating the cartels as terrorist groups will do nothing by itself,\u201d\u00a0Barr wrote. \u201cThe real question is whether we are willing to go after them as we would a terrorist group.\u201d<\/p>\n
Graham grilled incumbent Attorney General Merrick Garland on Capitol Hill last week on the issue. Garland said he was open to the possibility of labeling cartels as terrorists, but that designation typically comes from the State Department.<\/p>\n
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) and Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.)\u00a0have already put forward a joint resolution calling for authorization for use of military force targeting Mexican cartels.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Look, I am all for bombing something from time to time, but I think Lindsey needs some adult supervision in this case.\u00a0 From what I can gather Mexico may be doing US a favor by keeping this group.\u00a0 But,\u00a0 that’s just me.\u00a0 Waiting for the cries about “None of this would happen if we could buy any medication we wanted here” and “If these were white tourists instead of people of color trying to get medication then…”<\/p>\n
