"Fast and Furious" Corpses Pile Up
Human Events ^ | 09/15/2011 | John Hayward

Posted on 09/15/2011 2:39:00 PM PDT by neverdem

The New York Times had better get some more ridiculous hit pieces cooked up against House Oversight chairman Darrell Issa, because some more dead bodies have turned up in connection with the Obama Administration’s plan to push American guns into Mexico. CBS News has been following “Operation Fast and Furious” like a hawk, and they’ve got the latest body count:

Weapons linked to ATF's controversial "Fast and Furious" operation have been tied to at least eight violent crimes in Mexico including three murders, four kidnappings and an attempted homicide.

According to a letter from U.S. Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich to Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), the disclosed incidents may be only a partial list of violent crimes linked to Fast and Furious weapons because "ATF has not conducted a comprehensive independent investigation."

I can hardly wait for the full list of violent crimes linked to Fast and Furious to be compiled. So… what does it take to get the ATF cracking on one of those “comprehensive independent investigations?”

Among the crimes listed by CBS are a “confrontation between the Mexican military and an armed group,” which was armed with two Fast and Furious AK-47s, and “the terrorist kidnapping, torture, and murder of Mario Gonzalez Rodriguez,” whose sister was the attorney general of Chihuahua. She maintained her brother was kidnapped by corrupt police officers and cartel thugs.

The kidnappers released a video of armed and masked goons standing around Rodriguez, which became a sensation in Mexico. It’s possible some of the guns brandished in the video might have been provided courtesy of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. It’s hard to make out all the hardware carried by the terrorists, and there’s no way to get their serial numbers. The gang reportedly had...

There are two videos at the source: one with Issa and one in Spanish. I tried to post the Sharyl Atkisson(sp?) story, but the window gave me an error message that when clicked it closed the four open windows.

Could someone try posting the Sharyl Atkisson(sp?) story, if I can't. I'll give it one more try.

The blood of all these victims is on the hands of the 0bama administration. Methinks Holder et. al. can't wash it off. The stain will remain.

In the bowels of this administration, they plotted and implemented a sinister plan to limit the Second amendment rights of the citizens they took an oath to protect.

And none called it treason, as the gallows wail...

Impeach Obama.

At long last, have we had enough of this worse-than-watergate abuse-of-power?

Add in Solyndra and his illegal deriliction of duty in immigration law enforcement.

I seem to distantly recall Obama at a press conference, some time before all of this came out. Some reporter asked what he intended to do to advance the anti-gun agenda, and Obama answered something like ‘we’ve got some things going on under the Radar’.

Anyone else remember that? Was that Obama admitting knowledge of GW and F&F?

I believe that comment was made to one of the Brady campaign drones (who then made it public) when they asked Barry to do more on gun control.

Yes, that sounds right. Wonder if he was referring to these operations?

Yes, those responsible will be held accountable...just like Bill Clinton and Janet Reno were for Waco.

There is no logical reason other than Obama and Holder cooking up the entire F&F escapade to erode the 2nd amendment.

Barry LOVES gun control and would disarm us all if he could.

If even one drop of oil is spilled by an oil company, non-stop 24/7 coverage by the MSM.

Bodies piling up because of a treasonous idea hatched by this administration=Crickets.

Absolutely pathetic.

Methinks there is a special place in hell for those two.

This administration doesn't care: The victims were Mexican and Obama and Holder are racists.
