Wow! I found more:

http://extras.mnginteractive.com/live/media/site525/2011/1126/20111126_081147_Sinaloa%20document.pdf

My guess (last line of page 1 of the document above) is that the weapon they were after (30 of them) was the FGM-143 Javelin —that’s my guess.

They’re talking about being bored of AK’s and .50’s, of wanting to blow up buildings, so they might have been after the thermobaric version (which is available).

That’s just a guess, however.

I like the part “met with roaring applause by the audience”.

Me too - favorite part...

I will sptry to send this to Issa. Believe it or not - he responds directly to things on his Facebook page. I posted on one of his threads, and he emailed me twice.

Question:

Wasn’t “Fast and Furious” intended to form a basis for gun control legislation that would undermine the 2nd Amendment?

If so, is that not in itself a subversion of the Constitution?

Just asking.

*Fast & Furious* was designed, it seems, to prop up the Sinaloa Cartel, to whom all the guns went. Their arrangement was to arm them, to attack Los Zetas, who were thought to be planning a para-military style attack on the Mexican Gov’t.. The US Gov’t. has already dropped serious indictments re. massive drug-smuggling against top members of the Sinaloa. Two of them. Now, one arrested Sinaloa operative says he had an agreement with the us Gov’t., to leave him & his Cartel alone, in return for secret information on all the other Cartels. Also, to allow large drug shipments into the USA.

Thanks for the reply.

So, was the effort aimed at curtailing drug shipments into the U.S. or a Progressive, adolescent attempt at undermining the 2nd Amendment.

Thanks again for the reply.
