"Fast And Furious" Just Might Be President Obama's Watergate (drip, drip, drip..)
Forbes ^ | 9/28/2011 | Frank Miniter

Posted on 09/29/2011 1:32:19 AM PDT by WMarshal

Why a gunrunning scandal codenamed “Fast and Furious,” a program run secretly by the U.S. government that sent thousands of firearms over an international border and directly into the hands of criminals, hasn’t been pursued by an army of reporters all trying to be the next Bob Woodward or Carl Bernstein is a story in itself.

This not only ties in known facts and a timeline but also the politics and public statements surrounding them that paints a damning picture.

Obama and his 40 thieves are depending on the media to protect them.

Sadly, I think that’s a pretty safe bet.

Good, clear article. If this has made it to Forbes, perhaps there is some chance that it will get the attention it deserves.

Why a gunrunning scandal codenamed “Fast and Furious,”...hasn’t been pursued by an army of reporters...

Because they're part of the conspiracy.

Granted. However, certain elements of Obama's crowd can't be depended on to let well enough alone. They're going to interpret the SRM's continuing protection racket as conferring upon them god-like powers. They're going to push it harder and harder. Sooner or later, someone (or someones) are going to turn up on a slab. Sooner or later it's all going to be too much to cover up.

The media's willingness to maintain the Obama fantasy seems to be diminishing.

As some of you might know, I run the Gunwalker ping list. I am thinking of starting new list called Border Wars. Anyone who thinks this is good idea, please freepmail me. Many of these things seem to overlap and/or be interconnected. It’s up to you guys. Let me know.

I think a lot depends on how much Hillary knew/knows. If she decides to make a primary challenge and gives the media the signal that she wants it investigated, the gloves will come off.

If, on the other hand, she’s implicated or can be implicated, they will weld the doors shut.

I think these weapons...and others that Obama has been giving away...will be used to start trouble on the borders and metropolitan areas in order to facilitate his declaring martial law.

Anderson Cooper actually covered it on CNN last night.

That is why I thought it might be time for a Border Wars ping list. What do you think? We got to start keeping track.

The state department and hillary are already involved in this. hillary has known about this an approved it since its inception. State department resources and “assets” have been used to facillitate this.

Great article. Its good to see Forbes and others finally putting the story together! The crime is abhorrent. The cover-up is unforgivable. I hope to see some serious jail time for several of these ATF criminals.

What I really think is that the citizen can’t do anything about this traitor to the Constitution in our White House.
It will take the military to buck him and his cronies.

Since carter, the military promotions have been skewed heavily towards the left. With clinton, even moreso. And since then, the Officer Corps has become so PC there is no way the military is going to do anything.

Wish I didn’t agree, but it’s all too true. And the academies, while still a bit behind the academic PC curve, aren’t helping. They just don’t realize that the worm has turned.
