Hillary Clinton meets Mexican President Felipe Calderon
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has publicly blamed America’s appetite for illegal drugs on drug-related violence in Mexico.
“Our insatiable demand for illegal drugs fuels the drug trade,” Clinton told reporters as she visited Mexico City to meet President Felipe Calderon. “Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the deaths of police officers, soldiers and civilians.”
“I feel very strongly we have a co-responsibility.”
Clinton also said the US “war on drugs” has been unsuccessful in stopping the trafficking of illegal drugs. “Clearly, what we have been doing has not worked and it is unfair for our incapacity [....] to be creating a situation where people are holding the Mexican government and people responsible,” she said.
After meeting with Mexican President Calderon, Clinton pledge US $80 million to Mexico for purchasing Blackhawk helicpoters. “These aircraft will help Mexican police respond aggressively and successfully to the threats coming from the cartels,” she said.
The US $80 million comes on top of a new White House plan to spend US $700m (£475m) on boosting border security, stopping drugs- and guns-trafficking from the US into Mexico, and efforts to cut US drug use.

I couldn’t care less what Hillary thinks about anything.
Dopey broad could disappear and I wouldn’t miss her.
First she slobbers all over China, and now this. How embarrassing.
So Sectary of Stupid Hillary Rotten Clinton usual distorted mind-set is, “Our (America’s) insatiable demand for illegal drugs fuels the drug trade,”. That’s rich considering her husband Billy Bob Bozo was a participant in using the product. And the Kenyan Obama is also known to use the products as well in his day.
Was this statement for the appeasement of the Corrupt President Calderon?
Tell us Hillary what happened to the millions you husband, Billy Bob gave to Mexico during his occupation of the white house?
Can you say default?
Now the entertainer messiah Obama wants to give Calderon $80 million dollars to purchase Black hawk helicopters.
Why give Calderon this money to purchase the helicopters, why don’t you just give him the helicopters? Duh.
This is a prime example of just how disconnected from reality Clinton and her sidekick Obama are!
This is another scheme that will wind up in a disaster for the American people.
Drug Problem? Her brother in law said that her husband, Bill KKKlinton had a nose like a vacum cleaner! Start at home, lady!
The thugs peddle drugs to teenagers (and adults) and it is the fault of the addicts that the thugs are peddling drugs, getting rich and killing people.
The thugs threaten American lawmakers so the solution is to disarm law abiding American citizens.
Are these people totally nuts or am I missing something?
The next question is — what is Hillary's agenda?
Mexico is at fault as the drugs came from that country as confessed in the article. This is a U.S. Fed takeover of our (civil) rights.
