Based on the results, it looks like the "i" is in the wrong place.

I like word play, but I'm not seeing what you guys are laughing at. Enlightenment, please?

Now, I definitely see that it's more of a "mordita initiative". The U.S. generally has two foreign policy plans: bribe them, or bomb them.
Move the 'i' right after the 'm' and then google it. :)
Ah! I don't need to google it, I know it. :lol:

Let me put it this way, we're all on the verge of (if we aren't already) breaking forum rules with the word in question.

I call Bull on this the ATF is the most incompetant and political enforcement arms of the US government after the Infernal Revenue Service:

"Since 1996, the ATF has traced more than 62,000 firearms smuggled into Mexico from the United States.[28] Mexican government officials suspect that corrupt customs officials, on both sides of the border, help smuggle weapons into Mexico; as reported by ATF, the most common "traced" firearms now include the Colt AR-15 .223 caliber rifle, the AK-47 assault rifle, FN 5.7 caliber semi-automatic pistol and a variety of armor piercing .50 caliber long range sniper rifles and machine guns. Also, there have been occasions where grenade launchers were used against security forces and twelve M4 Carbines with M203 grenade launchers have been confiscated.[29][30][31] It is believed that some of these high power weapons were stolen from U.S. military bases.[32]"

If all these assault weapons and military hardware are coming from the US I would think it would be difficult to find 82% that could not be traced. I'm sure the US military has the serial numbers recorded of the weapons in their armory stockpile. I'd bet most are out of the Mexican armory, and various third party country's that we gave military aid to.
