Mexico's president calls for investigation into Obama-era Fast and Furious Operation

Mexico's president asked the United States for answers and an apology for the Obama-era gun-running operation known as "Fast and Furious." On Friday, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador called for an investigation into Operation Fast and Furious to prevent it from happening again.

"What seems serious to me is that a violation of our sovereignty was carried out, a secret operation, and that Mexicans were killed with these weapons," Lopez Obrador said during a press conference in Mexico City on Friday.

"How could this be? A government that invades in this way, that flagrantly violates sovereignty, international laws," Lopez Obrador continued. "We have to shine light on this so that an action of this type will never be carried out again."

"There is still time for the U.S. to apologize," the Mexican president stated.

He also said that his government would send a diplomatic note to Washington asking for information on the gun-running scheme. Mexico Foreign Affairs Minister Marcelo Ebrard confirmed the communication, and said he was sending a letter to the U.S. regarding Operation Fast and Furious.

If he tells them, "pretty please, you guys, don't you do that again, would that suffice?"

Holder belongs in a Mexican prison until the day he dies.

Obama and Holder should be extradited to the Mexican authorities.

This was one of the earlier crimes of the Kenyaneisan Usurpation and it was a doozy.

The premise was to run guns to Mexican cartels to ramp up violence in Mexico to undermine support for the 2nd Amendment in this country.

Let’s make a deal with Mexico.
They take back all of their citizens illegally in our country and we will make sure we never have another non-natural born citizen enemy agent in the White House, plus we will give them Eric Holder.

That’s the end of Weiner-Holder’s brokered-convention aspirations.

Holder and probably Obama should be held accountable for Fast and Furious, but this is the first I've heard that the operation took place in Mexico. Is that right? If so, it makes it much worse.

He doesn’t need answers from the US, he can get any info he wants on the matter from his drug cartel kingpin buddies.

The U.S. should respond promptly to any Mexican government request for the extradition of Barack Obama and Eric Holder.
