Secretary of State Clinton compares the Mexican drug wars to an insurgency, such as the one that gripped Columbia decades ago.
The Mexican government is offended by her analogy.
And another mayor of Mexico is killed by suspected cartel violence.
Hillary Clinton Quotes:
"These drug cartels are now showing more and more indices of insurgency. All of a sudden, car bombs show up, which weren't there before"
"We face an increasing threat from a well-organised drug trafficking threat that is, in some cases, morphing into or making common cause with what we would consider an insurgency in Mexico and in Central America"
