MEXICO CITY – A shootout between Mexican troops and a convoy of gunmen left 15 assailants and one soldier dead hours before President Barack Obama arrived in the country to show his support for the fight against drug cartels. The shootout happened in a remote, mountainous region in Guerrero state, where the Pacific coast resort of Acapulco is located, Mexico's Defense Department said in a statement Thursday.
Soldiers came under fire from a convoy of gunmen on Wednesday while patrolling the drug trafficking hotbed. One was killed and another wounded in the firefight near the town of San Nicolas del Oro. Troops later seized two .50 caliber Barrett rifles, 17 other rifles, eight grenades, two handguns, ammunition and eight vehicles.
Obama met Thursday in the capital with President Felipe Calderon, who has sent more than 45,000 troops to drug hotspots since taking office in 2006. More than 10,670 people have died in drug violence since then, about 10 percent of them police and troops killed in the line of duty. The rest have been smugglers, many killed by rival gang members, the government said.
As an old spook I’m calling BS
1)   The day the POTUS shows up, there is a gun fight in which the Federales have a 15/1 KIA  ratio. Hell ,if they can do that they don’t need our help.
2)   The picture with the article shows a Federale with a Barrett 50.  I wonder if they bought that from the cartel or the other way around,
Please next time try a little harder to be believable.
