MEXICO CITY, Feb. 18 (UPI) -- Critics say the Mexican government is winning battles while continuing to lose its war on the drug cartels.
The policy of using the military and national police, begun under President Vicente Fox and embraced by Felipe Calderon when he took office in 2006, has had many successes, CNN reported. For example, last year 16 leaders of the notorious Zeta cartel were arrested or killed, but the Zetas appear to be conducting business as usual.
