What a coincidence.
Another strange coincidence is that the Cartel driven violence ramped up from a low level of violence among cartel members in Jan 2009 when Obama took office to to a fever pitch of senseless, gruesome mass murder of both cartel members and innocent bystanders by the end of 2010.
Soon after the new Republicans took office in Congress after the 2010 elections when facts about Fast and Furious began to be made public and Issa began his investigation, the extreme violence in Mexico abruptly began to subside all on their own with no corresponding crack down by law enforcement on either side of the border. For the last year or so there have been minimal reports of cartel driven violence in Mexico.
Very strange. I am not sure I am comfortable with some of the conclusions that can be inferred from the recent events on both sides of the border.
Since when do crooks become believable? Do we just pick and choose what to believe from his story? Eric Holder is up to his neck in this muck.
It was already ramping up by 2009...
