I doubt anyone’s going to put this into simple enough prose for the vast majority of the country to understand until Palin addresses it as part of her campaign against Obama.

She will put it into pithy terms that even the casual observer can understand.

A simple search for the title brought it right up.

Wasn’t there a Fast and Furious shredding party at the White Crib so they can claim there is “no shred of evidence”?

“Under the program, ATF agents allowed illegal gun purchases and hoped to track the weapons to Mexican cartel leaders.”

I’ll continue to post this on every thread I see. The cartels are multi-billion dollar enterprises. Cartels see guns as consumables. That’s why the get left at the scene. Once a gun has fired bullets, it’s trackable by ballistic markings on the expended shells and fired slugs. Keeping the gun would tie the shooter to the shooting scene; blowing a firearm possession charge into murder. Since the guns are in effect “consumed” they are consumables. Cartel leaders don’t buy consumables. If they did you’d see the CEO of Wal-Mart visiting warehouses full of aprons and toner cartridges. Low level buyers buy consumables. The same buyer would also buy the cartel’s toilet paper, pencils and torture implements.

Therefore, the ATF’s motive was not to find the leaders of the cartels. If they want the leaders, all they have to do is ask any underling in the right circumstances and he’ll say who his boss is. You can’t exactly hide your identity when you have 10,000 employees. The ATF motive was to undermine the second amendment. And, it meant nothing to the ATF planners for Fast and Furious that Mexicans and Americans would die because of this plan.

Scary scenario:

Since they can't take our guns from us, they need to arm their side when they start “The revolution” against free people. Obama can set up a “crisis” and call for Marshall law as well as whatever executive laws he wants to make to handle the “crisis”.

"It marks a significant step in the committee's investigation into the failed gun-tracking operation..."

Let's call it what it really was: a failed attempt at drumming up support for and justification of further anti-gun laws to disarm the citizens of these United States of America.

People need to go to jail over this. If the pressholes were worth a tinkers damn these days it would be the 1st Idiot’s Watergate.

I prefer to not receive my news from social networking sites.

Why not use the direct link to the LA Times article?
