Not in the exerpt is that one of the USA .50’s was later used to SHOOT DOWN A MEXICAN POLICE HELICOPTER.
OK now we all knew there is a narco-state down there, sure, but you have to understand is this:
The Obama admin is apparently very good friends with the operatives of the Mexican narco-state and SUPPLIES THEM.
How would you like to be working for BP in the hot desert, with your buddies being killed by the guns your bosses provide to the enemy you’re paid to stop..?
OK uh...let me get this right:
ATF GS-12’s took time off from the completely apolitical soft-ball game, right? So they have some free-time. And they’re chilling on some brews, these guys, and then all of a sudden they’re like:
“Why don’t we export a whole bunch of guns down to Mexico to find out who’s buying them..?”
“Well Tex, how would you track them as they were used..? GPS or what? Ya think that’ll WORK...?”
“Nah, well...they’ll get used down there, and then when they’re strewn about some narco-shoot-out then we’ll fingerprint the bodies, and then we’ll know who bought them...”
“Won’t the serial numbers be off, by that point? You think they’ll be easy to trace...?”
“Well....some might still have those numbers. Some, sure...”
PLAUSIBLE? NOT IN A MILLION YEARS..!
“Never let an Emergency go to waste....”
There was no emergency of the type they felt needed, and when they saw that they ***MADE*** the emergency.
