Very informative. I was not really “up” on the “Fast and Furious” thing. Thanks.

From the article (found it interesting):
Also, as revealed in our recent reports, there are major stores in Mexico of what Robert Plumlee refers to as, ‘high impact weapons’ which include anti-aircraft guns, rocket propelled grenade launchers and mortars. These weapons are of U.S. origin, they are ample and they include the latest and most deadly, the same high tech weaponry currently deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. While not fully tallied, there are reported sites where thousands and thousands of these weapons exist, along with ‘knock-off’ Mexican army uniforms[11].
Frustrating. Operation gunrunner IS NOT the same as Operation Fast and Furious. This administration wants us to consider them synonomous but they were not.
I remember when we had the Mexican President Felipe Calderón lecturing the Congress, he mentioned that Mexico got its illegal weapons from the USA on May 20, 2011. Could this be what he was talking about?
Wasn’t some ball player looking at time for less?
Fast and Furious and Gunrunner are not the same thing.
I have read this article and others and I am still not able to understand what Gunrunner or Fast and Furious was intended to accomplish. Yes, it they got guns into the hands of the cartels......... then what?
If stimulus money was used, doesn’t that mean Joe Biden knew about it since he’s in charge of that money?
Los Zetas Kingpin: We Bought Guns Directly From U.S. Government
Not that I'm defending Holder, who almost certainly knew about 'Gunwalker'. But this isn't the proof that he did, and its fevered tone will only convince the skeptical that his critics are, um, overenthusiastic.
This was a criminal act of gun running by the BATFE, organized by the Obama administration. I have no doubt this was an attempt to get the Mexican drug cartels to use these weapons so that the Obama administration could claim we need to clamp down on “the easy access to guns because they are ending up in crimes.” They already made such public comments during that time to prime the PR pump, only to have it all backfire when it became known this is what they did.
This is an impeachable offense by Obama and many top level government officials need to go to prison.
Did Holder and the other liberals in the Obama Administration think “Project Gunrunner” was going to nab white middle-class men conservative men? That IS the only group liberal elites and liberal lowlifes traditionally see as ‘the enemy’...
Getting more traction, that’s good. Although I’m still waiting for this to be on the front page of the Philly Inquirer...../crickets/
A year or so ago Hillary Clinton brought up that there were assault rifles being found in Mexico that were bought here in the US. It was part of the anti-gun campaign. I wonder what she knew and when did she know it? Hillary may very well be in the know on this.
It is obvious these people care nothing at all about the Constitution. This “fast and furious” was nothing more than a set up to squeeze out emotional “boo hooing” as a means to demonstrate “how bad and evil American gun dealers and owners are”. It is a complete criminal fraud and criminal conspiracy in order to blame “gun running” on us! A means to kill the 2nd amendment—using this “gun running” as an excuse.
So where’s the impeachment proceedings?? When are the prison sentences for Holder, Obama going to be meted out??

On June 27, CNSNews.com asked White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, “Could you tell me what is the exact date that the president learned about the Justice Department ATF operation to allow guns to flow into Mexico?”
