Former Mexican President Vicente Fox says his nation is at "war" with drug cartels, and he offered sharp criticism of the Obama administration for failing to assist its beleaguered neighbor.
In an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV on Tuesday, Fox said President Barack Obama's administration has failed to grapple with the deteriorating situation in Mexico.
“Obama is thoroughly mixed up with all these things he’s got," Fox said, adding: "He’s got to solve Libya. He’s got to solve Afghanistan. He’s everywhere. And this nation, I don’t know why it’s not showing the leadership and capacity to attend different issues at the same time.”
Asked if Mexico was entangled in a civil war involving the drug cartels, Fox responded: “We’re undergoing a war, no doubt — 35,000, maybe 40,000 people killed, either members of the cartels or members of the police force or members of the army. So yes, we’re undergoing a war, no doubt.
“Everybody’s trying to deny that we’re going through a war, but that’s what it is. That’s why we have to move to a new paradigm."

De-criminalize, regulate, and tax pot. It is the largest money maker for the Mexican drug mob. Hit'm where it hurts....in the wallet.
Why in the world would we want to help Mexico? Mexico has not helped to stop the illegal immigration to the US! Scrath my back and I'll scratch yours.
As far as Libya, we shouldn't be over there either but his case makes no sense at all for us to help him.
We need to start taking care of our own! Bring our soldiers home and let these other countries take care of themselves. Period.
No one else will say it, but I will. HELP US THE U.S.A. IS NEED OF HELP. Please do not donate to the government,they will not help us.
since obama has taken us into another war, i say why not, killing a few beaners will help staunch the flow here!
