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 todays 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 fronteracompartimos 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.

What was the MAJOR NEW EFFORT Holder was talking about along the border?
hhhhmmmmmm????????
Google Fast and Furious...there are some media outlets covering this..although most are just out to cover Obama and Holder’s backsides.
bump
Why didn't I think of that!
; ]
Thats probably in all the blacked out paper the DOJ has been issuing.
Are we to believe that Holder knew enough to mention this in a speech but not enough to really know what was going on?
I believe Issa will produce the damning mosaic, but it will take time.
Whistleblowers are emerging and information must be verified and analyzed.
As others have pointed out, operations conceived and executed in the shadows aren't so easily dragged into the light.
Huh? New rules? Hey Obama how about starting with preventing Mexican criminals from buying guns with your OK, while you watch them allowing the criminals to kill at will with your approval?
Government White House Plans to Release New Gun Safety Measures in the Near Future

WASHINGTON (The Blaze/AP) Six months after Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was shot, the White House is preparing to propose some new steps on gun safety, though theyre likely to fall short of the bold measures activists would like to see.
Spokesman Jay Carney said that the new steps would be made public in the near future. He didnt offer details, but people involved in talks at the Justice Department to craft the new measures said they expected to see something in the next several weeks. Whatever is proposed is not expected to involve legislation or take on major issues, like banning assault weapons, but could include executive action to strengthen the background check system or other steps.
Eric Holder, say hello to van “the bitch” jones......you guys have alot in common....
Unless or until State-run media gets involved, this will go nowhere. Chances of that happening are slim and none.
So...the evidence showing that the head of the DOJ has PERJURED HIMSELF was discovered by a Freeper..? Super huge congrats, but isn’t it funny to you all that our MEDIA claims to be impartial and working it’s heiny off, but never found this first...?
1. Monica Lewinsky - story broken by a former gift shop attendant (Drudge)
2. ACORN - story broken by 2 college kids with camCorders (O’Keefe + that foxy girl)
3. DanRather Gate - broken by a Freeper (typesetting all wrong)
4. Weiner - Breitbart
5. DOJ Perury case - broken by a Freeper, no
The media is as healthy as ever —IT SIMPLY BELONGS TO US.
AND THOSE GUYS ARE FIIIIIIIRED.

HOLDERS’ TESTIMONY
He lied his ass off.
I sent this to Issa, Grassley, etc.
Holder needs to be brough back to testify as to what the MAJOR NEW INITIATIVE WAS ON THE BORDER was he was referring to.
ping
We need to see a Holder perp walk, either in Washington DC or Mexico City.I would prefer Mexico City... and Obama.
Well, ok, but I still like the idea of ‘off with their heads. :)
