We read:
"US Ambassador to Mexico Carlos Pascual has resigned from his post, following a diplomatic row triggered by his remarks made in one of the US embassy cables leaked earlier by whistle-blower website WikiLeaks.
The development came after a cable leaked by WikiLeaks showed that Pascual had doubted the Mexican government's ability to win in the drug wars launched by Mexican President Felipe Calderon soon after taking office in 2006.
In the leaked cable, Pascual had based his doubts on grounds that the Mexican law enforcement agencies were often at odds with each other while co-ordinating their efforts to tackle the violent drug gangs. He also alleged that the Mexican security forces were slow and risk-averse.

And what he said was untrue....HOW?
Having lived in San Diego, CA for over 30 years, I can tell for you for a fact that the police (federalies) are corrupt. I've been pulled over numerous times while driving through Tijuana and Baja California for no reason other than I'm American. In the $80's it was about $40-$60 to bribe your way out of a ticket... now it's close to $200. And they'll take you to an ATM if you don't have the cash.
Mecico is a corupt nation its run by corupt politicians including a rotten dictator
There is no official in Mexico (alive that is) who is not for sale when hundreds-of-millions are involved. Bring our troops home now and let them fight for their country.
