But even so, the footprints are getting closer.

After months of debate from GOP presidential candidates on topics ranging from Gardasil vaccinations to nuclear Iran, the topic of Operation Fast and Furious was finally mentioned during the Fox News Sioux City, Iowa debate Thursday night and met with roaring applause from the audience. Considering December 15, 2011 is the one-year-anniversary of the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, who was killed by an illegal Mexican drug cartel member in the Arizona desert using a gun provided through the Obama Justice Department, the timing was fitting. Fox News host Megyn Kelly asked the question about Fast and Furious without mentioning Brian Terry, didn't give background on the operation and framed it in a way that benefited Eric Holder. She asked Rick Santorum and Rick Perry if republicans were politicizing the scandal by calling for his resignation. Rick Perry has joined with 57 House Republicans in calls for Holder to resign immediately.
It would have been helpful for viewers to understand the Obama Justice Department deliberately allowed 2000 guns to be placed in the hands of Mexican drug cartels. The fatal result of this program? Two U.S. federal agents are dead, more than 300 Mexican citizens have been slaughtered. Even Eric Holder admits more people will be killed as a result of the operation for years to come. Questions to GOP candidates about whether criminal charges should be pressed against DOJ officials for their role in Fast and Furious and how they would repair the U.S. relationship with Mexico over the issue would have been more productive in moving the Fast and Furious conversation forward.
Both Santorum and Perry said if Holder was their attorney general, he would be fired for his role in Fast and Furious, whether he knew about gun walking techniques or for being incompetent for not knowing about them.
Although the discussion surrounding Fast and Furious tonight was brief, under 60 seconds, I'm glad the topic finally came up as it has been ignored for months by the mainstream media and been falsely classified as a "botched" operation. Fox News' Bret Baier credited Twitter for pushing the topic into the debate. Hashtags used to promote the topic were #fastandfurious and #murdergate.
Now Megyn Kelly will be detained indefinitely for being a terrorist!
Megyn Kelly in handcuffs?
Even though she's a scummy lawyer, I'll sacrifice myself, for the good of the Country, and volunteer to be the jailer, but only for 10-15 years.
After that, she'll be rehabilitated. heheheheheheh
They have to send in the paramedics for me during the first couple of hours.
The gov’t admits over 200 Mexicans were killed with F&F guns, but court documents show that the number is actually much closer to THREE THOUSAND.
Imagine that the Watergate break-in featured 1 hotel staff being killed —would that have worsened the scandal, a bit? OK now instead imagine that 3,000 people at the hotel died —fanciful, right?
Now, venture into the inky black of deep, deeeep space and imagine the entire US media IGNORING that event for a period of ONE FULL YEAR...?
Are your eyes rolling up into your head?
THERE LIES THE CURRENT USA.
Meaning that in spite of MSM obstructionism the word is getting out.
‘bout time. Ping.
Where do you get the number 3000?
The son of the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel was arrested and extradited to Chicago.
He cites that number in court papers there —they asked him.
The number 200 enumerates only those Mexican dead found near a gun confirmed as an F&F gun.
#murdergate on Twitter
May it help the Terry family find some justice.
Season’s Greetings to all! Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah & Happy New Year!
Good for the two Ricks! Santorum actually said he wouldn't wait for a resignation, he'd fire Holder on the spot.
I like the part “met with roaring applause by the audience”.
But even so, the footprints are getting closer.
Contact your reps and tell them to vote in favor of HR 490.
Impeach and prosecute Holder, the racist Socialist bastard!
DING! DING! DING! DING!
Notch another one for the Pajamarati! Well done, people!
Amen, Sarge!
Adjacent cells for Holder and his boss -- so Holder can amuse himself ripping Bozo's throat out through the bars.
The MSM is the Democrat Party at work. They will lie and cover-up for their chosen Obama the Great!
Right! Warmer, yes.
And this:

About 2 months ago I ran across a link to the original gov’t doc, which was Zembada’s deposition in Chicago about a month after he arrived there, and started telling his amazing stories.
I was totally amazed.
At the time the doc was a fairly raw .pdf, but was a real page-turner; US officials phoning senior members of the Sinaloa to tell them about surveillance, etc, as part of the US “intel for no load interference”-arrangement.
I’m going to look some more for the original document.
**200* counts only the LAST victims of F&F guns and does factor TOTAL Mexican victims.
It is really puzzling how many US publications have latched onto the numbers, 200, and more lately, 300.
