It still would be a cave in for the brassless wonders, but is there a chance there are fingerprints from the Bush administration on the origins of Gun Walker.
I can completely understand why they would halt the Fast and Furious investigation. There’s the important issue of athletes who take steroids that must be investigated immediately.
I haven't seen any hint of a motive for GWB to have intentionally allowed large numbers of guns to fall into the hands of Mexican gangs. I believe his administration may have allowed some guns to fall into gangs' hands as a result of some totally incompetent planning, and it's conceivable that the number of guns involved was much larger than has been let on, but I've seen nothing to indicate that GWB would have had any motive to intentionally "lose" large numbers of guns, nor that he ever displayed craven indifference to the fact that some guns got lost. By contrast, Barack Obama clearly had a motive to let firearms end up in the hands of Mexican gangs (it would justify his otherwise-unjustifiable claims on the matter). Further, since the operation was discovered, Barack Obama and Eric holder have displayed craven indifference toward it. Laws were clearly broken by federal agents. Assisting in the prosecution of such agents is Eric Holder's job. Refusal to assist is refusal to do his job. Barack Obama should be demanding Eric Holder's head. His refusal to do so demonstrates craven indifference to Eric Holder's refusal to do his job.

The better question can be seen here from the discussion by former DEA agent Mike 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.”
