Bring in the helicopters!!! Our new motto for the drug war in Mexico. Haha.

I just saw this on my facebook page, a "kings cake":

That is very cool. In all my years of coming to Mexico, I never knew this! Thanks for sharing.

Terry - there were two vehicles inside the main gate turned sidewise as a roadblock. One was a silver SUV and one was a dark blue car. Neither of them was the blue van.

I am looking for some details on the blue van in the attached picture. It was facing north going away from Bella Sirena. Do we know anything about its passengers? Please post or PM me, thanks.

Does anyone have a internet link in english to the new mexican government comments above by Canuck?

Steve and Rosie are both right. Steve saw what looked like the helicopter firing into Bella Sirena, but he saw it from 1/2 mile away at Esmerelda. In reality, I think the only target for the helos were the trucks, armored trucks that is. I see no pictures with 50 cal damage other than the trucks...

I know Joaqin well, and recommend him.
