I would not put it past the Obama administration to be the one on the Mexican side passing the guns to the drug cartel. In fact, that makes a lot of sense. Being the middleman means that they know who is selling them AND who is buying AND who is smuggling them across the border. The missing piece in that is the fact that the Mexican government would have to arrest the buyers and sellers and assist in apprehending the smugglers. But since the Mexican government was not even aware of the operation, it makes it less likely.
