Mexican Government In Denial: Read Hayden's Piece - DRUG CARTELS & US WEAPONS

I think this is a must read.  The article was written by a retired Marine Lieutenant Colonel who has a strong background in Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict, particularly Latin America. 

Here are a couple key points Hayden notes in this article:

1.  The data set used by the US State Department that blaims the US for their illegal weapons problems are "skewed".

2.  The article claims the Mexican government intentionally deceived the public into thinking that most of the weapons used by the cartels were from the US, when it actually appears that only 5% of the 30,000 weapons came from the US.

3.  Weapons used by the cartels are being purchased on "the international market" from countries such as Venezuela, Cuba, Iran as well as other countries.
