I thought that once too, That the whole thing was to give Obama a chance to tak a shot at the 2nd. Amendment. Now I am not so sure.
I believe now that Obama’s shot at the 2nd. Amendment was just a happy happenstance of supplying the Cartels with guns, and that the drug deals and money paid off to American CIA and who knows who in American politics was the real reason.
I believe this thing if properly investigatd goes to the top and will make Watergate look like a Grade school field trip.
This was a CIA op. Multiple cartels have gotten guns from this program. One jailed cartel leader says he was a CIA asset. He isn’t allowed to speak to anyone but his attorney and jailers above a certain rank. They rotate him between 4 cells.
Holder may have been told to let those guns walk.
I am not excusing anyone...but if you read the colums from the two people who broke this story..it is clear the CIA was involved with this.
It is possible it was put in place by Holder and CIA saw an opportunity.
My favorite quote so far is from Michael Levine:
“Running guns into Mexico into the hands of criminals? There can be no objective to this but death, and lots of it.
The events in Operation Fast and Furious are eerily identical to those surrounding the arrest of General Ramon Guillen Davila, a CIA asset who was [indicted for] smuggling a ton of cocaine into the US [in] 1996, in what was described as an intelligence gathering operation, the problem being that no intelligence was ever gathered and that the ton was only one of many other similar shipments of cocaine that actually hit the streets of the U.S. by way of CIA agents.
If I were a criminal profiler, it wouldn’t take much to identify a CIA pattern here [with Fast and Furious]: A wacko, barroom commando, illegal operation that makes no sense whatsoever, run outside the control of law enforcement”
