Attorney General Eric Holder at the Mexico/United States Arms Trafficking Conference CUERNAVACA, MEXICO ~ Thursday, April 2, 2009

Remarks as prepared for delivery.

First, let me express my thanks to Attorney General Medina Mora and Secretary of Government Gomez Mont for making this conference possible.

This is my first trip to another country as Attorney General. I wanted to come to Mexico to deliver a single message: We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with you in this fight against the narcotics cartels. The United States shares responsibility for this problem and we will take responsibility by joining our Mexican counterparts in every step of this fight.

And, together, we will win – thanks in large part to the courage of my Mexican colleagues here today, who are on the front lines every day, and with whom I am proud to collaborate.

The topic that has been addressed over the past two days could not be more important – the development of an arms trafficking prosecution and enforcement strategy on both sides of the border.

I would like to thank the Mexican and U.S. experts who have worked so hard on this issue. On our side, Secretary Napolitano and I are committed to putting the resources in place to increase our attack on arms trafficking into Mexico.

Last week, our administration launched a major new effort to break the backs of the cartels. My department is committing 100 new ATF personnel to the Southwest border in the next 100 days to supplement our ongoing Project Gunrunner, DEA is adding 16 new positions on the border, as well as mobile enforcement teams, and the FBI is creating a new intelligence group focusing on kidnapping and extortion. DHS is making similar commitments, as Secretary Napolitano will detail.

But as today’s conference has emphasized, the problem of arms trafficking will not be stopped at the border alone. Rather, as our experts emphasized, this is a problem that must be met as part of a comprehensive attack against the cartels – an attack in depth, on both sides of the border, that focuses on the leadership and assets of the cartel. This is the type of full-bore, prosecution-driven approach that the U.S. Department of Justice took to dismantle La Cosa Nostra – once the most powerful organized crime group operating in the United States. With partners like those we have here today, I am confident that together, we will defeat these narcotics cartels in exactly the same way. I am proud to stand with you, and to join you in this fight. Thank you again for inviting me here.

Quiero que el pueblo Mexicano sepa que mi nación está con ustedes en la lucha contra los narcotraficantes.

México y los Estados Unidos comparten mas que una frontera—compartimos cultura, sangre e intereses comunes. Somos hermanos unidos contra una batalla que ganaremos.

Tenemos que aprender de uno a otro, trabajar juntos y luchar juntos. Si hacemos estas cosas, si nos dedicamos juntos a esta lucha, no tengo duda que tendremos éxito.

I would love to know if anyone on here could dig into the Exec Orders issued by Obama around this time to see if there is any correlation.

What did Holder testify to? Did he testify to knowing nothing of Fast and Furious of did he testify to knowing nothing of problems?

Or did he testify to having no knowledge of Gunrunner?

Cudos for posting!

Here is a money quote, “ I would like to thank the Mexican and U.S. experts who have worked so hard on this issue. On our side, Secretary Napolitano and I are committed to putting the resources in place to increase our attack on arms trafficking into Mexico.”

This is a great clarification. Altho, I’ve got no defense left for Bush these days as I finally faced up to the progressive he is. This situation is definitely sitting on the lap of the current Marxist administration.

Not a big fan of W either, but at least the plan started under him arrested the straw purchasers BEFORE the weapons hit the border. IMO, he just wanted to stop the gunrunning. Zer0 and Holder on the other hand, had a TOTALLY DIFFERENT plan. They wanted to FACILITATE the transport of as many weapons as possible to points south of the border for PROPAGANDA PURPOSES! When the straw purchasers weren't moving enough weapons, the administration supplied TAXPAYER MONEY to achieve the numbers they were looking for. Any reference to a “botched sting operation” is an outright lie when it comes from the government. Any such reference by the media demonstrates enormous ignorance, colossal stupidity or total complicity with this corrupt administration.

This is very sick and criminal, it really puts into perspective how obsessed they are with their agenda and any means possible.

Makes one question everything, like the oil spill.

Gunnrunner started under Bush. It isn’t the problem. Operation Fast and Furious is a PIECE of that larger program...and THAT was started under Obama...and is the piece that gave weapo0ns to the cartels.

What happened with the program in the years since George W. Bush left office won't matter to the media. They will focus like a laser beam on the fact that Project Gunrunner started during his administration. Once the mainstream media is forced to cover the story, each report, newspaper article, etc., will begin with the sentence: "Project Gunrunner, an initiative begun under the Bush administration....."
