President Felipe Calderon insists his country will win the battle against the narcos...but not before his term ends in 2012.
“What I can say is Mexico will be safer,” he said, “and to have not acted, it would have deteriorated much more.”
“We would have done it in a more aggressive, much more determined way from the start,” he added.
An estimated 40,000 have died since Calderon's war against the narcos was launched in December 2006.
Calderon currently has a 53% approval rating.
