Seems like this could be a case of a slip of the tongue: Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry says he is open to sending American troops to Mexico to help battle drug cartels.

I wish it would all be that easy, that formulaic.
A spokesman has clarified that Perry is open to all options to cooperate with Mexico.
Once a front-runner in polls, support for the Texas governor is “evaporating like a puddle in the west Texas sun,” according to the Christian Science Monitor.
