A new member of Congress who rode into office during the 2010 American rejection of Washington's business-as-usual practice today said that a special prosecutor needs to review the actions of Attorney General Eric Holder regarding the "Fast and Furious" gun scandal where weapons were sold to carriers known to supply Mexican drug lords, and the circumstances make it appear that President Obama could have dirty hands in the deal.
During an appearance on the Steve Gill Show, U.S. Rep. Allen West said the roads that appear to lead to those responsible for the botched program that was supposed to trace guns to high-ranking drug lords are alarming.
"This is just another sad chapter in the Eric Holder book of ineptness and incompetence," West said. "Eric Holder needs to be brought before an investigative committee and if those charges are warranted he needs to be held accountable.
"At least the president needs to realize that Eric Holder needs to be removed from the Department of Justice
or else it appears President Obama is complicit and in approval of the actions of his attorney general," he said.

Will Holder get thrown under the bus? Does he hold cards that the President doesn't want shown?
Seems like the AG and the POTUS are covering each other.
It's time.

West is obviously a racist.
I think West finally broke the apparent taboo of holding Holder accountable. Kind of tough for the Marxist thugs to play the race card on West. And if they try the “Uncle Tom” thing I don’t think West will not take prisoners when he retaliates.
West must be driving The Black Caucus nuts. Come to think of it I haven’t heard much from that group for a while.
I don’t think obammy can afford to throw Holder under the bus—he knows way too much about the president that he probably wouldn’t be bashful about telling the media.
Good for West!! There should be many more supporting his efforts in this.

Go West!!

Watch this short video wherein Col West eloquently makes the case that Muslims are the enemy of the U.S- ALL Muslims:

I’m afraid the Republicans In NAME Only will have to find a spine first.
This thing could blow up into something REALLY BIG!!!
I admire Lt Col West keeping a light on this; considering the stakes, national media has been virtually mute.
You mean Holder would snitch out the head “peep”? Tell me it ain’t so!

I had not yet seen that clip. Thanks for posting that!
So refreshing to hear someone in government tell it like it is.
Interestingly, the MSM didn't have a cow and breathlessly attempt to portray the good Colonel as an extremist. Guess the risk of level headed people agreeing with him was to risky.
Go Allen!
Steadfast and Loyal!
No Prisoners!
A man unlike most in Congress.
Wish he would at least consider the VP run for 2012. I take he has ruled out a presidential go. For me, he is one in a million.

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?
