From Mexico with Irony

File under incredulity.

CUERNAVACA, Mexico -- Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said Friday that Washington is taking steps to address Mexican concerns the U.S. is not doing enough to stop illegal weapons from being smuggled across the border and into the hands of brutal drug gangs. [SNIP]

"Mexican officials have repeatedly complained that the U.S. must do more to stop the flow of potent weapons - including assault rifles and even .50-caliber machine guns - that drug gangs often purchase in the United States.

"The firepower we are seeing here has to do with a lack of control on the (U.S.) side of the border," Patricio Patino, Mexico's top anti-drug intelligence official, said last month. "What we have asked the American government ... is that they put clear controls on the shipments of weapons."

I'm sure that the POTUS and the AG will get right on that.

The funny part is that, since it was Mexico that asked--as opposed to American citizens and legal immigrants--the two probably will.
