Just a day after U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., called for Attorney General Eric Holder's removal, alleging a White House connection to the "Project Gunrunner" that allowed weapons to be delivered to Mexican drug lords, confirmation has come that the program originated at the highest levels of the Obama administration.
The link is the $10 million in taxpayer dollars designated to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for Project Gunrunner in Obama's 2009 American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, otherwise known as the Stimulus Bill.

[Gun Owners of America President Larry] Pratt also believes that some of the guns were purchased by the Mexican cartels directly from federal agents.
"One of the founders of the cartel, one of their top 14 directors if you will, a guy whose nickname is El Mamito, has said that he was buying guns directly from the federal government," Pratt explained.
Jesus Rejon Aguilar, nicknamed El Mamito or "Pretty Boy," he third highest ranking member of the drug gang Los Zetas, was captured Monday by Mexican authorities.
Pratt said he believes for the guns to go across at a designated location, there had to be coordination between several federal law enforcement agencies.
That kind of coordination could only have happpened with the Illegal's full knowledge and support.
It's also iteresting how the Mexicans have just released the information from El Mamito's interrogation. Looks like they're out to stick it to the Illegal, too.

Mega PING! Obama/Holder FAST & FURIOUS GUNs continue to kill people.
We had to pass the stimulus to find out what was in the stimulus. We found corruption, waste and criminality.
This only can have intended to escalate the border issues...into WAR..with US?!!!!!
It would have been nice if this came from any other place other than the nutty World Nut Daily.
This is an IMPEACHABLE act on the part of the 1/2 White House. Kongress better grow a pair and soon as they are becoming more and more irrelevant every minute.
‘Yo takes ‘yo friends where ‘yo kin find ‘dem and this article has some great, solid stuff in it.
The DOJ have been working on passing secret gun laws. Will be in affect in a few months.
HR 495 http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h495/text died in committee but was rolled into the stimulus.;

Watergate started very Slow and even was known as Nixon won relection.
Michelle Malkin wrote about the "Porkulus II" tie-in back on March 30th.
Glad to see that word is spreading, by whatever means.
World Net Daily will try and claim credit for "exclusives" on it. It is a pathetic site nowadays.
“It would have been nice if this came from any other place other than the nutty World Nut Daily.”
Keep reading the New York Times. Nothing to see here.
That’s true. What’s interesting is it started a couple of months before the 1972 election, was contained until after the election, and then exploded like Karakatoa. Gunwalker, OTOH, has started nearly two years before the 2012 election, is making lots of rumbles and is shooting out smoke and steam right now, about 1.5 years before the 2012 election. On that schedule, it might well explode not long before the election. Let us all hope, work, and pray to achieve that end.
How odd you would call WND “World Nut Daily”.
WND’s web site reads like your home page.
Oh, no! My apologies - I now see you were responding to someone snarky, without a home page and who smeared WND.
So sorry! My bad.
