I believe Fast and Furious was the name the ATF designated to the program for internal correspondence. Gunwalker was something the justice department used to describe it in their communications.

It was called “Project GunRUNNER” by ATF, “GunWALKER” was used as an ironic term by those reporting on the fiasco.

Two distinctly different programs. Under the Bush admin Gunwalker was used to nab agents of the cartels trying to buy arms in AZ, NM, etc. but these arms were tracked electronically and not allowed out of the country. The Fast and Furious program went too far under Holder's administering it, allowing weapons into Mexico.

One can only guess why Holder would want arms from US dealers killing Hispanics in Mexico, but the propaganda barry bassturd's admin fed to the whoreish media about most of the arms in cartels coming from America might be a clue as to what Holder and company were trying to accomplish.

Conflating the two distinctly different programs is now the talking points approach to connect this to Bush and absolve the criminal democrats of their crimes. Don't help them establish this blatant lie.
