This opinion piece is spun to the max to shield the Obama administration. But, that is what is expected of The Washington Post.

[Joe Brower]

SSDD. "Mexico's corruption is a byproduct of American freedoms".

Anyone who buys that line deserves to be a slave.

[muawiyah]

The Post is protecting its own reporters, editors and managers who engaged in puff pieces for Fast and Furious BEFORE IT HAPPENED.

Notice that the Posties still won't say that about 99% of guns found involved in crimes in Mexico CANNOT BE TRACED.

This concerns only the TRACEABLE GUNS ~ most of them provided directly by DOJ (Holder) to Mexican Narcotrafficantes.

This is why they've got to be kept under observation, and possibly investigated, to see if any of them are worth prosecuting here, or maybe just shipped to Mexico to be charged.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Damned black rifles again...

[bmwcyle]

They still push forward with a lie.

[Travis McGee]

Hey, the 90% lie is down to 70-80%! I guess that's progress.

[Smokin' Joe]

What good does it do to pass more laws?

The DOJ was the entity which either broke the law or directly suborned such acts. The very government which passed laws against selling to straw buyers pushed that, knowing where the guns would end up.

If this kind of crap doesn't indicate the whole purpose of "Fast and Furious" was to push more gun control, nothing does.

And why isn't anyone discussing where the Republican candidates stand on this vital issue?

[Psycho_Bunny]

In the real world outside of newsrooms, this editorial would be titled “Poor cultural standards and tolerance of corruption allow murder and mayhem to become commonplace in Mexico.”

[umgud]

“Operation Fast and Furious,” during which U.S. law enforcement agents, in order to trace weapons to higher-ups in a criminal enterprise, failed to interdict guns bought by suspected straw purchasers.

BS, they never intended to interdict any of the weaspons and can't show where they had.

F&F is not a failed program. They might not like the way it has turned out, but it did exactly what it was supposed to do.

[DesertRhino]

even if it wasn’t a propaganda lie,,, i just do not care. My second amendment right are not conditional depending on how they affect other nations.

My free speech rights and open internet also has negative impacts on China,,,

And last,, does this Mexican REALLY want to get into a discussion about how Mexicos policies affect the USA negatively?

[PubliusMM]

“Law enforcement officials in both countries acknowledge that 70 to 80 percent of the traceable guns seized in Mexico can be tracked to the United States.”

Well...if that’s the starting point, then the conclusion is indisputable.
What about the ones that are NOT traceable? Then, let’s compare raw numbers.

Until then, shut yer pie hole.

Just like BOR...with the leftists, the spin never stops.

[KC_Lion]

This is down right Insulting, Gunwalker is out there and known among the media, and still they come out with this S@*T!

Gunwalker Denial Ping and Charlie Brown AAUGH! Ping!

[Walkingfeather]

so this is the article that was supposed to run earlier if fast and furious wasnt discovered?

[LucianOfSamasota]

A hundred years ago we would have just sent the army across the border to deal with the problem.

[iacovatx]

This propoganda article was designed to run after the Fast and Furious program was underway, but the editors did not expect that the Fast and Furious program would be exposed and its managers subjected to Senate scrutiny. Now that a few months have passed and it looks like the managers are going to get away with it, the W Post is restarting the propoganda part of the program.

[smokingfrog]

Can someone tell me how many lives were saved by the assault weapons ban?

[Lazamataz]

Lax U.S. gun laws A.T.F. enable killing in Mexico

Corrected the headline for spelling and grammar.

[G Larry]

The drug cartels use fully automatic weapons stolen from police and military throughout Central and South America, in addition to imported Chinese weapons.
They don’t give a damn about the semi-auto’s available from the U.S.!

[Iron Munro]

[unixfox]

And the propaganda continues.

[Wage Slave]

Who pulled the triggers of all those guns?
