After weeks of hard lobbying by Mexico's President Calderon, U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Carlos Pascual is...GONE!
After only 19 months on the job, Pascual is the first top diplomatic victim from WikiLeaks revelations.
Why?
Calderon said publicly he didn't trust Pascual and barely spoke to him.
Analysts believe Calderon was really angry because of critical WikiLeaks cables written by Pascual about Calderon's ineffective war against the narcos...and because Pascual's girlfriend is the daughter of an opposition legislator.
Pascual served for 23-years in the State Dept.and U.S AID.
