Blow away (or make a serious attempt) on elected US Officials. If this happens there will be an overt war between the US Government and the Cartels.

Drug Cartel puts $1 Million price on Arpaio's Head

PHOENIX - He's been at the center of the discussions and controversies surrounding illegal immigration enforcement in Arizona for quite a while.

On the day parts of Arizona's immigration law, SB 1070, went into effect, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is in the news for another reason: there's a price on his head - allegedly offered by a Mexican drug cartel.

The audio message in Spanish is a bit garbled, but the text is clear.

"It's offering a million dollars for Sheriff Joe Arpaio's head and offering a thousand dollars for anyone who wants to join the Mexican cartel."

A man who wants to remain anonymous says his wife received the text message Tuesday evening. It also included an international phone number and instructions to pass the message along.

"She showed it to me..I was kind of disgusted..I reported it to the Sheriff's department yesterday..they said they were going to direct the threat squad on it."

Lisa Allen of the Sheriff's office says they believe the message originated in Mexico.

Although the Sheriff has received numerous death threats in the past, they believe this threat is credible because of its timing.

"Arpaio gets threats pretty routinely, but obviously with this heightened awareness of his role in the immigration issue we've got to take this one a little bit more seriously with a million dollar contract out on him," said Allen.

But she says what really concerns investigators is how quickly the message may have been spread. "It's going so many different places that our folks are looking at it and thinking well at any given point in time it could land in front of some crazy person who thinks I can do that."

We have a "non-state actors" concerns, just like Iraq and Afghanistan.

Regardless of the complicity of the Mexican government in the life of the cartel, the cartels are not state operators.

And we see how damn hard it is to fight non-state operators.

Only way Obama would get involved is if the target were someone who refused to enforce immigration laws.

F Arpario....Even though he is a corrupt and despicable human being...I would not wish death on him....Maybe a nice long jail sentence in his own facility though.

The sheriff Arpario, is doing the job the people of his jurisdiction elected him to do. What is corrupt and despicable about the job he has done? It maybe your opinion but only a punk would assume he is guilty of corruption without any due process.

We need more Joe Arpaios, not less.

So which Mexican state will we annex this time?

So are we going to start a third war with troops and money we don't have?

or will the sale of woolen rugs and marble chess boards pay for the war just like the Iraqi oil paid for theirs?
