The link is a video of Sheriff Paul Babeu, Arizona, speaking to Anderson Cooper about the failure's of the ATF's "Fast and Furious" operation. This was a stunning report - Anderson looked shaken by the ineptness of the government.

Astonishing to see this on CNN. Cooper did a remarkably good imitation of a real journalist there for a bit.

I like NoControllingLegalAuthority’s scenario in post #28.

More astonishing to see Sheriff Paul Babeu stick his neck out so far.

I think he used the words “wacky” and “conspiracy” just for window dressing. The real meat is the rest of what he said.

Input needed. Have now started a new ping list called BORDER WARS since so many of these stories are starting to intersect and overlap. I would like to keep the Gunwalker threads separate. Let me know if you want on the Border Wars list. It will NOT be the same as Gunwalker, though they might overlap occasionally.

ANYONE who thinks this is, or has been, a simple Second Amendment issue is being very naive. THIS is, and HAS BEEN, to foment marxist revolutions in SEVERAL countries south of our border. it will not stop there. It’s on its way here faster than you realize.

Exactly. At least the AG of Mexico is making sounds.

This is so internationally evil it’s mind boggling. At least some news is getting into the MSM. This should bring down the administration and put a good number of people in prison. Will it or not I have no idea.

With this latest exposure of the ATF’s incompetence, and or corruption, you decide, I am reminded of Waco under the Clinton and Reno regime. We know the result there. Now we know the result of the ATF’s involvement in gun running, years later, under the Obama and Holder regime.

Come in Rangoon! Rangoon Rangoon, are you there? If you missed that one, then try this one. Hellooo, helloooo, is anyone out thar? Andy Griffith, “No Time For Sergeants.”

Read transcript @ # 1 , or listen @ # 48.

Then check out # 27 and # 28.

Zer0 wanted American guns planted in Mexico in order to demonize American firearms dealers and gun owners.

The purpose of F&F was to “foment marxist revolutions in SEVERAL countries south of our border”????

Off the wall with that theory aren’t you?

2,000 semi automatic guns to drug cartels is nothing compared to what the drug cartels further south in Mexico can buy for 1/3 the price from the Chinese, the Brazilians, almost ANY country with a standing army armed with full automatic weapons.

For your argument to have any standing at all, we would have to be shipping tens of thousands of military grade weapons and armaments and ammunition. Seriously, come back down to earth.

If you believe that number, I have a bridge....
If you have done any in depth research on this at all, you know that this has barely scraped the surface.

I read a great comment somewhere, maybe here.

Watergate was kind of like Fast and Furious, except for the Body Count.

The simple fact of the matter is that had this happened under a Republican Administration it would be front page news every day until the 2012 Election.

This and now there are Democrats calling for postponing the 2012 Elections. Joking, sarcasm, what are they saying now?

AttackWatch.com must be humming tonight.

I have been following this story for almost a year. Point yourself. The links are on the ping. Several, in fact. Fast and Furious is not the only op being run from different places TO different places. I don’t have time to play this game with you.
Educate yourself and do NOT attack me. That is a very unFRiendly thing to do and I don’t take it well.

Of course anyone that has been following this knows of allegations of several such attempts to walk guns into the hands of criminals in other countries. Obviously you don’t subscribe to the idea this was an attempt by the Obama administration to bump up the statistics in those countries of the number of guns used in crimes in those nations that were sourced to US gun dealers near our border.

To believe walking 2,000 guns each into 3 or 4 countries is going to enable an armed Marxist takeover in that country is beyond belief - to the point of lunacy.

I fully believe that the point of operation 'gunwalker' became the generation of crime scene trace data and bloody headlines to justify in the press a move to further diminish or remove our RKBA.

To believe walking 2,000 guns each into 3 or 4 countries is going to enable an armed Marxist takeover in that country is beyond belief - to the point of lunacy.

Stop and reconsider that statement. 2000, organized, armed, and completely ruthless persons with prior military service and training could overthrow a small country. A Coup de Tete is far more possible with those arms than without.

How amny bandits did Castro have to start?
