The more they find out about this, the more distrubing it becomes. I only hope Obama will be like Nixon and appear on TV how Nixon did declaring, I am not a crook !

The embattled head of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has told congressional investigators that some Mexican drug cartel figures targeted by his agency in a gun-trafficking investigation were paid informants for the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration.
Not surprising. The DEA/ATF and the cartels are really two sides of the same coin.

ATF agents had witnessed the transfer of weapons from straw purchasers to others "without following the guns any further"The plan was to flood Mexico with American guns so as to increase pressure from both outside and inside the US for federal gun control over American citizens. The idea that they were using the guns to trace the cartel bosses is false, because they didn't even bother tracking the guns.
It's the "community organizer" way to get things done - create a crisis (the old Reichstag fire trick) and then move in to "solve" the problem.

Drug Cartels? What cartels? This is the Mexican version of ACORN. Sure they play a little rough but so does the Chicago branch.

This is as bad as it can get. Obama and three or more Federal bureaucracies hiring and paying individuals to attack with lethal force, security officers and citizens of the United States.
Insurrection and Treason.

It is apparent that they never considered the consequences of their actions.

I let my Mexican drug lord license expire. Am I still eligible for the free machine gun program?

Under the gun-trafficking operation known as Fast and Furious, the ATF lost track of the guns. Because they never made an effort to track them. That wasn't the point...
Two U.S. law enforcement officials are known to have died as a result. And over 150 Mexican law enforcement officials. Plus an unknown number of civilians.
Nobody died in Watergate!

Isn’t the idea behind this to make U.S. like Mexico where it will be a crime for citizens to own guns ? This is what Mexico is aiming for. Always see Mexico say we allow guns and cash to reach the cartels, nevermind Mexico has no real border security to see who is coming in with what and who is departing the country with what. Mexico will soon be shipping out illegals in trucks under Obama’s let their them Mexican truckers on american roads-10-4

I wish I could understand what the motive was for the F&F. Didn’t we already know that guns were used by the criminals in Mexico? Was there some possibility that they would end up at the convents? The whole scheme just does not make any sense.
To: moonshinner_09
Interesting. A Charlotte newspaper (not New York or Washington) comes up with this. Some one in Congress is leaking big time.

Not to mention assassinate at least 150 Mexican law enforcement officers. And uncounted civilians. Mexico could charge, at the UN and International court, that this is an Act of War, and likely be sustained at the General Assembly and Court. A US veto on the Security Council would prevent UN action, but the US would be adjudged "waging aggressive warfare" and be guilty of human rights crimes and defenseless in court.

I wish I could understand what the motive was for the F&F. To create statistics that support a (fraudulent) purported crisis requiring draconian gun control as the ONLY solution.
Standard Alinsky.

As usual, a FReeper has quoted a masterpiece. This would be an excellent one-liner to educate the ignorant left.

It looks like Honduras could make the same claim. They should.

"This is exploding."
If there is a explosion in the USA and the MSM does not report it, did it happen?

Someone needs to make a t-shirt with that line on it.
