They have a significant problem with drug cartels at war with each other. And that is a significant problem for the United States.”

You further ascribe an anti-Perry comment to a nameless New Hampshire Republican. You didn't mention he was a commentator on a blog and identified himself as Sage Thrasher. I didn't see a party affiliation. If you have it, I will gladly stand corrected.

I am personally not convinced that Perry is the best candidate, but clouding the issue by posting disingenuous "cut and pastes" really doesn't move the ball for me. I certainly would want to hear a more detailed version of his position that is unencumbered by partisan hip shooters and sound bites.

We have sent troops to combat drug cartels all over the world including Mexico, Columbia, Afghanistan and a myriad of illegal drug producing countries.The word invasion was never used. Americans have been killed as a result of the Mexican cartel drug wars on both sides of the border.

In as much as you have discovered how to Google, cut and paste, I seriously suggest you give the topic an empirical research effort, evaluate both sides of the argument and then......make an informed decision and/or a post that doesn't expose a bias.
