Default Mexico gets U.S. armored vehicles for drug war

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30775092/

Mexico received eight armored vehicles as part of a U.S. aid package to help the government with its nationwide fight against drug cartels, the government announced Friday.

Officials held a ceremony to receive the vehicles, which the U.S. Embassy said will help protect federal police agents during counternarcotics operations.

The United States has plans to deliver $39 million in nonintrusive inspection equipment as well as new ballistics equipment for forensics laboratories in the next weeks. The United States also has initiated a broad range of training programs in coordination with Mexican law enforcement authorities.
and check this out... they've already released photos with the modifications done:

Good! Kill all the drug bastards!!!

Hell, send in the U.S. Army to do it more quickly (that is, if there were no wars in the Middle East). If they can't control it there, sooner or later, it'll spill over to our border. Drugs are bad...mkay?

American pols and the power elite (CEOs, lawyers, etc) will never stop the drug war...most of them are the biggest users on the planet. I'm not talking about weed....that is child's play. They like the snow.

Roach coach food can be really good. You just have to know the vendors. When a roach coach stops at a business every day and workers stream out to buy stuff, it's usually pretty good food.

You mean the U.S. already has drugs? How the hell would I know?!!

Anyway, if Mexico is out of control in drugs, that can't be good for the U.S.
