Future Drone Watch

I'll stick with my prediction that we will be using drones to attack the Mexican drug cartels before the end of the year.

Dozens of gunmen mounted rare and apparently coordinated attacks targeting two army garrisons in northern Mexico, touching off firefights that killed 18 attackers.

The attempts to blockade soldiers inside their bases – part of seven near-simultaneous attacks across two northern states – appeared to mark a serious escalation in Mexico's drug war, in which cartel gunmen attacked in unit-size forces armed with bulletproof vehicles, dozens of hand grenades and assault rifles.

Plus, I bet you can get a great vacation deal in Mexico right now.
