While counter-insurgency strategies have been at play in Iraq, Afghanistan and other regions of the world, it is time for us to apply our lessons to battle cartel-insurgents in Mexico, on our border and within our communities. In this session you will learn the characteristics of cartels and new strategies to turn the tide in Mexico, secure our border and better protect Americans here at home from the ever-growing cartel and street gang alliances. Such a strategy is moving its way through Congress. Here from Dr.Paul Chabot, who helped to draft Congressional recommendations and is the author of Eternal Battle against Evil: A comprehensive strategy to fight terrorists, drug cartels, pirates, gangs and organized crime.
Chabot is a military intelligence officer who served with Joint Special Operations in Iraq; was a narcotics officer in California; a parole board commissioner and former senior advisor to the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.
