The president’s office said Thursday that all available evidence suggested bad weather led to a helicopter crash that killed Public Safety Secretary Ramón Martín Huerta, Federal Preventive Police Commissioner Tomás Valencia, five other passengers and a crew of two.
The fact of the matter is that arms smuggling from the US into México has increased dramatically. Check this NPR audio for more. Personally I think that Fox is making the blunder of his administration. Then again one does have to contend with a very powerful NRA whose tentacles stretch far and beyond the Río Grande.
Hence the question, why is Fox covering it up? It is in everybody’s lips, this was sabotage with big guns. Off course, what the mexican government doesn’t want to do is produce copy cats. But still. This off course just exemplifies the ineptitude of the major intelligence operations in México. They neglected to imagine that something like this would one day occur., it has now ocurred.
Arms flow from the US has steadily increased for the past years. The border between the US and México is very porous. There is no one checking no one as one crosses from the US into México. México sends drugs and the US sends arms. Powerfuls one too.
So, while it is in everyone’s lips the the helicopter was gunned down nobody wants to see the reality. And Fox, like every US administration when it comes to drugs, will not contend with issues that produce sickning amounts of money. And so Fox allows Washington more time to get away with everything. México ought to bitch just as much as the US bitches about México. In fat, I wonder how Washington would react would México now institute a certification process as well.
