how could they differentiate between them and the mexican gangs down there? they both behead about the same number
Sad thing is that it isn't even close. At the height of the Iraq war, the number of deaths was a mere fraction of the Cartel murders in Mexico. I have no clue why the level of violence there is so under reported in the U.S.

Because someone will question my previous statement.
A recent United Nations report estimated nearly 9,000 civilians have been killed and 17,386 wounded in Iraq in 2014, more than half since ISIL fighters seized large parts on northern Iraq in June. It is likely that the group is responsible another several thousand deaths in Syria. To be sure, these numbers are staggering. But in 2013 drug cartels murdered more than 16,000 people in Mexico alone, and another 60,000 from 2006 to 2012 — a rate of more than one killing every half hour for the last seven years. What is worse, these are estimates from the Mexican government, which is known to deflate the actual death toll by about 50 percent.

Because they aren't trying to kill whitey.
They are killing each other and Mexicans who stand in their way.

1. Cartel murders don't make Bush look bad.
2. They killed any and all journalists who dared to cover the murders.

Probably because its 90% drug cartel folks killing other drug cartel folks.
