MORE DRUG GANG MURDERS IN MEXICO LAST YEAR THAN US TROOPS KILLED IN IRAQ SINCE 2003

MORE DRUG GANG MURDERS IN MEXICO LAST YEAR THAN US TROOPS KILLED IN IRAQ SINCE 2003:
Drug Gang Killings In Mexico Nearly 5, 400 In 2008

The official death toll of 5,376 for the year so far is higher than media estimates and more than twice the 2,477 people killed in the whole of 2007. Most victims were rival drug gang members or police.

Medina Mora said the surge in killings by drug gangs, who use gruesome tactics like beheading their victims and dumping bodies in public, would likely worsen next year as cartels fight each other and security forces over smuggling turf.

"We have not reached the peak of the curve yet," he told reporters at a briefing. "I still see an increase."
WHICH MEANS THE DRUG WAR IS WORSE THAN YOU THINK, AND THE IRAQ WAR BETTER THAN THE LEFT/MSM/DEMS THINK.
