“This Fast and Furious debacle started under the Bush administration,” Jackson Lee declared. “And it is been evidenced by various reports that it started under the ATL office in Arizona unbeknownst to leadership in Washington DC, at least leadership that came in under the Obama administration in this instance, Eric Holder.”
Attempts by Democrats to pin the Fast and Furious operation on Bush, however, don’t stand. National Review’s Andrew McCarthy explains:
Wide Receiver actually involved not gun-walking but controlled delivery. Unlike gun-walking, which seems (for good reason) to have been unheard of until Fast & Furious, controlled delivery is a very common law enforcement tactic. Basically, the agents know the bad guys have negotiated a deal to acquire some commodity that is either illegal itself (e.g., heroin, child porn) or illegal for them to have/use (e.g., guns, corporate secrets). The agents allow the transfer to happen under circumstances where they are in control — i.e., they are on the scene conducting surveillance of the transfer, and sometimes even participating undercover in the transfer. As soon as the transfer takes place, they can descend on the suspects, make arrests, and seize the commodity in question — all of which makes for powerful evidence of guilt.

I was just about to do that when I saw your post. dennisw, you nailed that one to the wall, glued with Super Glue, encased it in plexiglas and highlighted it with Day-Glo Orange.
What a racist.
And a loon.
I thought ATL was Atlanta, not Arizona.
Doesn't matter; she's a dolt any way you look at it.
She wants to know if astronauts will pick up the American Flag when they go to Mars.

“In a way, I sort of admire Sheila Jackson Lee. It takes something really special to make Nancy Pelosi look sane...”
HA!
We have no idea how many people were killed in regards to those weapons.
Jackson Lee is a moron politician from Texas..Everyone knows this.
Was fast and furious worse? Absolutely, no question!
But the bottom line is, the government concocting schemes where guns are sent into the colossal violent corrupt country of Mexico, was a really bad and stupid idea, regardless of which politicians were in charge.
This would be like intentionally distributing heroin or hard core child porn all over the country, in the hopes of finding/tracking the users. El Stupidio!
BTW, for the politically hysterical...I hope Omama and his AG are charged, prosecuted and imprisoned in regards to F&F.
