Pointing out that the ATF has had five acting directors in the last six years, Jones said the resulting weak management structure has given some field agents a license to operate independently of Washington.

Started six years ago. Hint! Hint!

Building the case that Bush did it! then finally! the story will get legs in Obama's servile, complaisant undistinguished media (SCUM).

"It's been tough on people, tough on morale. And yet I think we are pulling the car out of the ditch."

Hot damn! Almost there! Bush drove the car into the ditch -- just like Obama said! Obama's SCUM have verified that many, many, many times. Mmmm, mmmm, mmm.

Obama Justice Department wanted to disclose everything to Congress. "We were floating the idea and asking them to allow us to do that," he said. But he said he was told "it is a long-standing policy of the Department of Justice that we don't talk about ongoing cases."

Bingo! Long-standing! It's Bush's fault!

Obama SCUM doing the Blame Bush Boogie.

I've read on FR that, under Bush, there was a similar program. The difference was that they would install tracking devices in the stocks and the weapons wouldn't cross the border.

Gee...I guess that means all those weapons crossing the border really are Bush's fault! /SARC
