She, like most everyone, ignores the other 2000 weapons sent to Honduras. The why of that one, I suspect had to do with arming Zelaya’s partisans but we’ll probably never know since no one asks.

I thought that was the State Department's Operation Castaway, not Holder, but Cankles Herownself's outfit--the one whose assistant's mom is all buddy buddy with the wife of the new Muslim Brotherhood's new Egyptiam Prez and part of the MB's ladies auxiliary....

It's just as plain as a briar patch (to keep the American Idle crowd going "it's too complicated" (wah)), but the ties are all there.

There were supposed to be other domestic operations, iirc, in Indiana running guns to Chicago gangstas, et al., Texas, and all the upstream points on that little map they had of how American guns allegedly ended up in the hands of the cartels.

With appropriations, and even government inefficiency, chances are we, the taxpayers of this great land, ended up funding the purchases, too, of what amount to 'throwdown' weapons for the cartels, only semi-autos which would have been far more expensive to purchase at US gun shops than their full-auto capable select-fire military counterparts would be in the world marked, F.O.B.

No, Operation Castaway was run out of the Tampa ATF office. It was part of Project Gunrunner just like F&F.
