The Puzzle of 'Operation Fast and Furious' When Will Team Obama Come Clean About Failed Gun Program?

There are two puzzles in the so-called “Gunwalker” or “Operation Fast and Furious” case. This is the shocking case where Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents ordered American gun dealers to sell guns to obvious Mexican drug gangs over the objections of the gun dealers.

Here are just some of the questions that the Obama administration still has not answered:

1. Why would the government go through with the policy when it was seemingly obvious to everyone that there was no law-enforcement benefit to the operation?

2. Why won’t the Obama administration remove Acting Director Ken Melson from continuing to run the agency?

The Obama administration claims that guns were sold to Mexican drug gangs with the hope of tracking those guns. Yet, everyone involved in the operation knows that there were no mechanisms available for following the guns once they have left the gun stores. There were no also tracking devices placed on the guns used in the operation.

The truth is going to have to be dragged out of them.

They will not volunteer the information, and there is a good chance that some people might die, if the heat becomes too much.

Never. They will lock-arms around some bodacious lie and the MSM will support them. They will probably fabricate some stuff about Ken Melson to try and discredit him.

This case can almost be viewed as if the Obama administration wanted to increase the number of American guns used in crimes in Mexico.

Is it possible that the Obama administration pushed this program to help gin up more support for gun control in the United States?

The truth is, the obama regime was employing GUNWALKER to ultimately grab the guns away from law-abiding U.S. citizens.

The puzzle of Obama and MO’s ties to why Gerald Walpin was fired...

I am so grateful to Issa for ignoring unfounded conspiracy theories in favor of real provable Federal crimes.

When will they come clean? Never, on their own. They’ll have to be dragged into the light, kicking and screaming.

Obama now being silent on it shows his guilt.

I think this is the first time any news outlet came out and said all of this outright; in this article.

To be honest, Obama acts like he doesn’t have a care in the world. He knows the media will back him up.

We are watching a slow motion coup right before our eyes and the sheeple are asleep.

I keep having an unrealistic and unfounded fantasy that the hold up with the debt ceiling negotiations is, as part of the deal, Republicans are demanding the appointment of a special prosecutor for F ‘n F. ...and a unicorn is in my backyard, mowing the lawn.

Mr. Lott is a regular guest on George Noory's CoastToCoastAM the most listened to night time show and Number One in some major markets.

Too bad there's no way to blame this on Bush.. Noory at least up until now does not permit any criticism of PRESIDENT Obama, emphasis on PRESIDENT!

In fact I remember one time when Mr. Lott referred to Obama several times but without says PRESIDENT! Obama. Noory actual got furious and asked Lott why does he not refer to PRESIDENT Obama as PRESIDENT? Lott explained he does not like what PRESIDENT Obama is doing.

I figured Lott would be banned but he has appeared at least once since then,

All this fuss about PRESIDENT when referring to Obama after at least six years of Noory and most of his regulars calling George Bush everything except president. Go figure.
