MEXICO: Clinton Visit Supports Calderon Narco Fight, Damage Control After Wiki Cable Leaks.

BBC/

   Secretary of State Hilary Clinton stopped in Guanajuato to repeat her support for President Felipe Calderon's fight against the narco terrorists.
    Clinton said there was "no alternative" to confronting the narcos. "It is messy. It causes lots of terrible things to be on the news," she said. "The drug traffickers are not going to give up without a fight".
    Observers speculate that the visit was  intended as an exercise in damage control after Wikileaks revealed that some US officials were sceptical about the ability of Mexico to fight the narcos.
