Where are the lefties that cried about Reagan arming the Contras?

Surely, Obama's and Holder's arming Mexican drug cartels is worthy of the left's ire?

Also, what did Hillary know and when did she know it?

What's up with Mueller at the FBI? Didn't he recently agree to stay on and not retire?

Bobby Three Sticks is not loved by many within the Bureau. Just after Obama virtually begged congress for a two-year extension to Director Mueller's ten year reign- he's the 6th FBI director, and will be second only to J. Edgar Hoover when he retires- the FBI *suddenly* gets their big break in the search for Top Ten Fugitive Whitey Bulger- which may yet become a nasty embarassment for the FBI. And any baby agent can tell you that rule one at the Bureay, is Don't Embarass the Bureau.

Add in the continued failure to bring forth an indictable suspect in the AmericaThrax anthrax terrorism investigation, and Mueller has real problems.

Indeed, the reason for Mueller's retention may be Obama's fear that any attempted appointment of a new director would be subject to Senate investigation and approval, which may very well not be granted with the one-two punch of the Gunwalker Scandal and potential charges against the BATFE Acting Director that could result in sworn testimony against the Attorney General. Or higher....

They are busy applauding the arming of the rebels in Libya.
