I don’t feel like doing the research, esp since FR is so well-populated with history buffs and people who know these things off the tops of their heads so I’ll just ask the question here (instead of looking it up myself):
What drove the Iran/Contra story? Did the press shoot first, or did the Dems hold congressional hearings on the subject to trumpet it to the world?
The reason I ask is because no matter how much the MSM covers F&F up, it would be hard for them to ignore congressional hearings held by a REPUBLICAN-LED HOUSE into this matter.
Wasn’t the subject of “shipping guns to a country south of our border” one of the big aspects of Iran/Contra?
But regardless of whether there are Iran/Contra parallels here or not, I pose this question: WHAT IS THE REPUBLICAN-LED HOUSE DOING ABOUT FAST & FURIOUS?
How many people -let alone Americans- were killed by weapons transfered via Iran/Contra?
