This is almost embarassing to ask but to be truthful I haven't put as much time into this game as I'd like. However, when I do get a chance I go I try my campaign. Unfortunately, I have been at the same spot forever...the part where you need to protect the Mexican president from an onrush of enemies at the newly destroyed building you are using as cover. Is there a strategy to this because simply trying to pick people off sure doesn't seem to work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Unfortunately for the Mexican president, the APC he was supposed to ride out on will be destroyed
just before he hops inside. Or maybe it's fortunate that it got taken out before he was inside?
Guess it's a glass half full/glass half empty kind of thing.
Anyway, with the VIP2 in tow, run into the parking garage and hit the yellow circle indicated on
your HUD. As you may be able to predict, there's an ambush coming your way, so get your Ghosts
set up behind the oddly placed barrels (seriously, random barrels in a parking garage?) and have
them start dropping fools until you get the cue to head upstairs.
On the roof of the parking lot, you'll find a Kit Station that will allow you to reoutfit yourself with
some sweet, sweet rocket launcher action. With your launcher, you'll be able to fire on the two
Bradleys on the road below you. Although their fire will be intimidating, you should be able to
stand on the edge of the parking garage and fire away at them without getting hit. If you do get
taken down, though, you may want to send your Ghosts close to the edge as well, and use them
as a distraction while you line up your shot with the rocket launcher. You have to stand still for a
second or two before you're able to fire. Just be sure you're actually aiming over the side of the
ledge, or your rocket might hit the ledge and blow you all to hell.
When the Bradleys are gone, feel free to take potshots at the rest of the vehicles scattered around
below you. You can refill your ammo at the Kit Station here, so you don't need to worry about
that. There actually shouldn't be any more live enemies for the rest of the mission, so feel free to
blow stuff up until you reach the Extraction Point.

If that is not the part you're speaking about let me know.

I think you are talking about the end of level 3. This is probably what you need.

After hitting the bombed-out shell of the US Embassy, where the Mexican President miraculously
managed to survive the explosion, it'll be up to you to to defend him for the next few minutes
until your reinforcements can arrive. Be sure to tell your friendlies about the good job they did on
the intel there; they somehow managed to not notice the 30-odd soldiers and assorted vehicles
assembling on your position.
Anyway, the basic task here is to wait. Wait and shoot. It's whack-a-mole with high-powered
automatic weaponry! Position your Ghosts off to the right of the main Embassy entrance, where
they'll be able to fire over the low cover and protect your right flank, shooting at the enemies who
come at you through the mess of vehicles on that side. You yourself will want to guard the left
flank, hopefully ducking behind one of the small walls behind the burnt-out bus on the side
opposite your Ghosts.
After you're set up, it's just a matter of waiting out your opponents. Your teammates should be
able to provide pretty significant amounts of fire on the approaching enemies, but they'll definitely
focus on the right side, leaving you to take down soldiers approaching from the left, who can and
will attempt to flank you by circling around the bus. Just keep solid rock between yourself and all
incoming enemies, though, and you should be able to cut them off before they manage to flank
you completely.
After a while, you'll have to deal with both a Panhard (do your best to shoot out the gunner) and
an M1 tank which will appear and start to shell your positions. When the tank arrives, just keep
your head down, and most of its shells should be aimed at your teammates. Assuming they're still
behind cover, they should be able to ignore most of the damage that'll be coming their way. You
won't be able to do anything to the tank in the meantime, but you will eventually get an attack
chopper as another support asset, so tab over to control it and tell it to attack the tank. A few
ASM's, and it'll blow up real purty-like. From cover, tell your chopper to take out any remaining
soldiers in the area, then start making your way to the extraction point, which will let you end the
mission.
