Mexico's female presidential candidate raps U.S. over drug use, gun trafficking

A few days ago I wrote a brief note about Josefina Vázquez Mota, a PAN (National Action) Party pre-candidate for president in next year's election.

Yesterday she delivered up some tough talk, saying that the "United States has failed to carry out its duty to combat drugs. And it must stop allowing the sale of arms (to Mexican drug cartels)."

She emphasized that in the war against narco violence there can be "neither negotiation nor truce," an apparent reference to some (notably former Mexican president Vicente Fox) who have urged peace talks with the cartels.

Here's the original post on Vazquez: http://mexicogulfreporter.blogspot.com/2011/09/mexicos-first-female-presidential.html
