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. Please ping me to any articles you think fit in this catagory. Thank you.

The ATF wasn’t content with a massacre in Waco.

They had to top it.

And these liberal Dims call conservatives and Republicans the NAZIs, the police state.

And yes, though the analogy is not perfect, I am going to refer to this as Obama’s Waco.

“But it’s one of those tipping point deals. Once the cartels have enough power in the U.S., they won’t care about retaliation. And remember: we’re talking about a loose affiliation of animals as well as a highly organized terrorist organization...”

which now, unfortunately, includes our _resident, our secretary of state, and our attorney general.

“...part of a wider America effort to get a handle on the American-financed (however inadvertently) Mexican drug wars.”

Don’t overlook the more covert effort to bolster the anti-gun argument of the leftists by parading out the ‘found’ firearms as clear evidence of the need (their word) for more stringent gun control measures.

I see this as much more like Obama’s Iran-Contra, but that’s just me.

“The ATF wasn’t content with a massacre in Waco. They had to top it.”

Yeah, agree for sure. It's been my belief since Waco and Ruby Ridge that the ATF is a rouge organization, bunch of cowboys as in the movie Tombstone. If we peel the onion a little bit on this Fast and Furious caper I believe that we would find that the underlying motive was to create a perception among the general population that these guns were showing up in the hands of Mexican drug cartels as a result of law breaking U.S. gun dealers. However, the setup when bad and the AFT and Justice is now scrambling to cover it up. I think that when it's all said and done, assuming the GOP led House has the cajones to see this through, we will find that this illegal and neferious scheme was created by both the Calderón administration and the Obama administration were co-conspirators in this...

"Obama’s Waco"

Not even all conservatives know enough about Waco to understand, and the libs who at least are somewhat familiar with it still consider it a good thing.

This SHOULD mean the end of ATF, considering they have all that manpower, and nothing really important to do, that they are willing to engage in politicial activsim probably out of sheer boredom indicates to me that they need to be disolved.

I think most or many Freepers believe that obama & his administration started all this to get the gun out of the hands of lawful citizens. Taking it one step further; They let these terrorist set up “command and control facilities in Texas cities that rival even the most sophisticated battalion or brigade level combat headquarters.” The administration does not have to fight obama’s political enemies or do the dirty work; these terrorist/drug cartels can do it for him (in exchange for access to sell there drugs & weapons to fight legal citizens)

Remember how highly the left thinks of dictators like Chavez and people like Che? We tend to think the unthinkable can't happen, but when we know these marxist goals, we better keep our eyes open for the unexpected.

Our biggest problem is they have put their wall up to protect themselves; the lying media. Citizens won't know what hit this country until it's too late. Are we there yet? We have let international terrorist set up control and command centers in this country. This is a sovereign nation and we are not even fighting terrorist on our own land. People need to wake up.

As bad as Solyndra and the others are, they don't come with a body count.

For any of this to have happened, it needed high level approval, followed by high level interference and now comes the high level stonewall.

Moving a few people around and shuffling a few chairs at the big table appears to help with covering things up, but justice won't be denied.

Figuratively speaking, now we need a hanging.

Literally speaking, now we need a hanging. A public one. For all of them.

There have been at least 200 deaths (SO FAR) from these weapons. Those responsible need the severest punishment possible. Every one of them.
