Disestablishmentarian,
Well thought of. But the problem with it all is not who is killing with weapons we gave them, but the killing at all. And the opportunity for the DOJ to clean up the pieces after many are dead makes it look like your government is saving your cookies and protecting you when they are really putting you at risk. I don’t know of any cartel that can be trusted, and it was evidenced with the spreading of the weapons all over the southwest to be used by the many. I believe the liberals were up in arms about a like situation during the Reagan administration called Iran/Contra. I know some about that one and it is still the government passing out weapons for political purposes and costing lives.

Red, I do not disagree with you about the morality. I’m just saying to follow the money on these outrageous deals like F&F and the Iran nuke fiasco.
The drug trade is in the $hundreds of $billions per year. It depends upon sharing the wealth with law enforcement and government officials in many nations and on many levels of government. Believe it.
Iran nuke deal is $150 billion . . . gone pfft.
As a businessman, all my alarms go off on inexplicable deals like this. Generally, they become intelligible if you ever find out the payoffs.
Hence my suggestion that Obama and Kerrey bank accounts are going to be SIGNIFICANTLY fattened when this is over.
I am certainly NOT saying Sinaloa cartel is a worthy ally of the U.S.
