we had to kill Americans to save them, dear God...

While a key part of President Obama's strategy to combat ISIL involves arming supposed enemies of that organization, a program that has previously been roundly criticized is now being bandied about as "prescient" and "visionary" by Attorney General Eric Holder. The program: "Fast and Furious."
"What the President's critics have lambasted as wrongheaded and improvident is starting to look pretty good now that ISIL has vowed to infiltrate the United States via our southern border," Holder bragged. "The Mexican drug cartels are very territorial about what crosses over this border. They won't be too friendly toward ISIL actions that may threaten their smuggling profits."
Holder hailed "the toughness of these people. As we have seen they are every bit as vicious as the thugs running ISIL. They have murdered hundreds—many by beheading. And with the huge volume of firearms we have helped them acquire they are well-prepared to defend their perceived turf against these ISIL interlopers."
Jennifer Lasley, a senior official in the Department of Homeland Security's intelligence and analysis office concurred in Holder's take on the issue. "These Mexican gangs are scary. Setting them up to be our first line of defense against potential ISIL infiltration was a stroke of genius that the Administration won't get enough credit for."
It's possible, though, that ISIL might use a portion of its profits from sale of oil from the wells it seized in Iraq to bribe the cartels for a truce and passage through their border fiefdoms. Should this occur, Holder vowed that "we will put our heads together to try to come up with a 'plan B.'"
In related news, Rep. Eddie Johnson (D-Tex) argues that "the beheading of those journalists doesn't warrant the war President Obama now seems eager to initiate. That was only two guys. As many or more are murdered every week in the President's home town. So, is he going to launch air strikes against the gangs that are terrorizing the streets of Chicago? Aren't they more dangerous to more Americans than ISIS?"

Obama admin: we must defeat ISIS by arming ISIS!
It’s a good thing I know you John...
When satire and reality are interchangeable
things are really in a bad way.
MAGNIFICENT SATIRE !! (but don’t go giving Obama ideas)
Finally we have the explanation of giving guns to the Cartel under Fast and Furious.
Yes, the word is "prescient". They did it in the interest of national security.
Holder is a patriot. He's almost George Washington.
Stop helping these eff'rs.
“When satire and reality are interchangeable
things are really in a bad way.”
Precisely.
I knew when I read the title that it was one of your satire threads.
AND A GOOD ONE. I have been thinking the same thing for a week.
You do a wonderful job of composing these.
You make me sick, sometimes. /s
we had to kill Americans to save them, dear God...
Is he truly out of his friggin’ mind or is his anti-American mindset so deep that he believes that?
got em, right where you want em, huh eric?
we don’t need our military forces or law enforcement to protect the country... we’ve got drug dealers!
so sayeth 0bama and his cronies
It’s so hard to tell satire from reality
LOL. ISIS v. Cartel.
steel cage match. loser leaves town!
I read the title, and I thought, yeah that sounds like something Holder would do.
Then I click on the thread and it’s my ol’ buddy John pulling our leg. Giggle.
Good job, John.
In real life, of course, two strong players won't be fighting each other on command of a weakling. It just doesn't happen this way. Cartels want access to the market - which is people. Cartels have no use of the US government in any way, shape or form. ISIS fights against that government, distracting it from border control (a difficult task, considering that border control is nonexistent.) Cartels and ISIS are natural allies.
Holder thinks just like the rest of the Chicago thugs he represents.
