The Mexican government should have something to say about the consequences of this program on Mexican citizens. Wonder why they’re not saying much?

And still we’re on board with the UN plan to register all guns everywhere.

That program eclipsed incompetence all the way to unbelievably STUPID! Who gave the order? Wanna bet it went all the way to Obama?

It wasn't dumb. It was brilliant. Surreptitiously move semi-autos to Mexican cartels, and then blame FFLs, gunshops, and gunowners.
Go to the UN and tell them how EEEEEVVVIILLL semi-autos are and have them banned by treaty.
The only thing is F-Troop got caught, and their game to disarm the citizens of the United States, or at least, severely restrict their choice in home defense firearms has been curtailed by their malfeasance.
I wouldn't put it past F-Troop to be in Central America training "death squads" to kill Americans with Fast and Furious guns in order to initiate a crisis.
FU Ftroop. You are worthless! I hope you all get fired and put in prison.

At least your scenario makes sense of this. Incompetence does not make sense - these people cannot be that stupid......can they?

The country is being run by morons. These Federal law enforcement agencies are in the control of incompetent political hacks. They run everything else in The Administration.
Obama and his ambitious rookies need to go.

To: DCBryan1
You are correct. This was going to be the proof that gun dealers were selling weapons to the drug cartel in preparation for seizing American weapons under the cover of whatever fig leaf they could find. Mexico is quiet b/c they expect to get something in return.

Don’t overlook the very real possibility that one, or more, persons were financially profiting from this scheme. Follow the money.

At this point, only total morons and active Obama/Holder allies can hear the “sting” explanation for F&F without laughing out loud.

Holder and the ATF honchos must be real idiots if they thought that F&F could accomplish that end without extreme blowback.
They do not live in the real world.

The ATF has been unAmerican and in enemy hands for decades.

Yes.
They can most certainly be “that stupid”.
Ignorance can be easily corrected with factual knowledge.
Stupidity /Incompetence is incurable, and prevalent in modern society.

Well, not only have agencies within our government been this stupid, incompetent, or diabolical (take your pick), but we, the taxpayers, have been paying them the whole time.
Time for them to check out the job market, and not on our payroll, after those responsible have been up on charges and the guilty served their time.

No, they are not morons. That implies that they don’t know what they are doing. They know exactly what they are doing. They are nothing but evil.

Now IBD has picked up the "Fast and Furious" story.
As far as the title goes, there was no "incompetence" -- this whole corrupt action was a carefully-planned operation to bolster the FedGov's agenda to disarm We The People.
The BATFE & its superiors simply didn't count on a US law-enforcement officer getting killed by a weapon that our own government provided the drug cartels, with the weapon recovered afterwards.

The Mexican government should have something to say about the consequences of this program on Mexican citizens. Wonder why theyre not saying much?They're probably quietly laying the legal groundwork to extradite and prosecute the leadership of the ATF, if not the DoJ, and letting Issa do their criminal investigation for them.
