Mexicans say Calderon lies government is winning the war on organized crime what say you?

• Calderon lies (An editorial) El Diario – The triumphant statements of President Felipe Calderon that the government is winning the war on organized crime shows that the federal authority does not pay attention to the reality the country is living. The stubbornness of maintaining such a lie embarrasses our civil leaders, businessmen and lawyers here on the border. Yesterday the Presidential address stated that, contrary to general opinion, we are winning the war against organized crime. Journalists have confirmed that during the last two and a half years confrontations with criminal groups have resulted in more than 6,000 deaths on the border. The perception is that the government has failed to contain the violence. Calderon assured leaders of political parties in Mexico City, “Despite the cowardly acts, like executions of soldiers and federal police officers, the truth is that in the great majority of confrontations between federal authorities and criminal groups, the government has won.” Calderon asserted at the same time that the increase of violence is not an indicator of whether the strategy is working, although the number of homicides is spectacular, (according to CISEN, the number is 28,000) Calderon says the number is not a method to measure. We, on a day to day basis, witness how crime is beating the government http://www.diario.com.mx/nota.php?notaid=afc505954171cc47525e174387391107

• Answer:

  The term pot calling the kettle black comes to mind. One liar + one liar does not equal the truth. Mexicans and Calderon wouldn't know the truth if it landed from outer space and anal probed them.
