How is anybody getting that close to an embassy unless the embassy is expecting them? They gotta put some space into the mix there.

Well, hopefully if they do, it will be The Congress! Those feckless turds need that kind of a wakeup call! Sorry to say!

It's a consulate, not an embassy, but putting that issue aside, check out the US embassy in Berlin. Bollards to keep from driving right up to the building, but the street is as close as the street was to the Murrah building in Oklahoma City, and one wall appears to abut a shopping center and an apartment building.

How do they know it was a Cartel person? Could have been a Soros operative or one of Raúl Grijalva’s cousins doing the bidding of the DNC.

And wouldn’t it be a grenadier, rather than a gunman?

Maybe they recognized the make of the grenades.

"Grenade-walking" part of "Gunwalker" (Fast and Furious) scandal

And this...

Worse Than Gunwalker? (F&F) State Dept. Allegedly Sold Guns to Zetas

Phil Jordan, a former CIA operative and one-time leader of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center, claims that the Obama administration is running guns to the violent Zetas cartel through the direct commercial sale of military grade weapons:

Jordan, who served as director of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center in 1995, said the Zetas have shipped large amounts of weapons purchased in the Dallas area through El Paso.

(snip)

“They’ve found anti-aircraft weapons and hand grenades from the Vietnam War era,” Plumlee said. Other weapons found include grenade launchers, assault rifles, handguns and military gear including night-vision goggles and body armor.

More about State Department involvement...

— has sources claiming “Obama’s man in the State Department,” (former) Deputy Secretary of State Jim Steinberg, was the State Department operative who helped Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and the Department of Justice Deputy Attorney General David Ogden formulate the strategy that led to the tactics used in Operation Fast and Furious.

Steinberg took office as Deputy Secretary of State on January 28, 2009

A little more than two years later, it was announced that Steinberg's time in the Obama State Department was over. From the New York Times, 30 March 2011:

Mrs. Clinton heaped praise on Mr. Steinberg, describing him as an “indispensable” partner. “On every foreign policy challenge, big and small, he has helped formulate our policy and oversee its execution,” she wrote. Mr. Steinberg, she said, played “Oscar to Jack Lew’s Felix,” referring to Jacob J. Lew, her other deputy, who left earlier this year to become Mr. Obama’s budget director.

Which comes to this...

Grassley to ask for resignation of highest-level person who signed off on Fast and Furious

Which just doesn't seem like enough.

I had forgotten about that.

We really need to close the Grenade Show Loophole.
