Only an absolute moron would think that the Att. General (or one of his subordinates) would wildly dump guns into Mexico and not monitor their location.
No, it takes a community organizer with Zero IQ to use that “program” to set up the US gun distributors and manufacturers for massive government controls because the US guns were in Mexico.
Only Obozo is stupid enough to try it. Obama is a criminal, he needs to hang for this.
My humble belief is that a couple of idiots dreamed up this whole thing within the ATF/Attorney General’s office to start with. I doubt if they really drew out a firm plan or wrote a “end” order to have handy and quickly be able to act on the “end”.
The Bush guys walk out...the Obama team walks in. No real discussion over this program between the two. The Obama team is on automatic, and probably got a presentation or two the first month....but never paid any attention to it.
I imagine one or two guys at the operational level kept asking when to shut it down...but were continuing to get a green light. When the stuff hit the fan....everyone was standing there and asking what happened? The obvious answer is no one knew what this was to start with, and no one knew what happened when they did shut it down.
There are probably fifty people who should be removed from their positions and never allowed into law enforcement again, if the entire story was explained.
