On October 11, Eric Holder broke the news that Iran had been engaged in a covert war against the United States, and had even sent an agent to the U.S. to involve Mexican drug cartels as accomplices in a plot to murder the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States.
What is truly amazing about this is that Eric Holder has been engaged in his own covert war against Mexico and Mexicans for the past two years. In the bizarre world of Washington D.C., the Obama Administration was doing the same thing against the Mexican government that it accused Iran of doing against the United States. It has been arming Mexican drug cartels with thousands of highly lethal battlefield weapons. The cartels have been using those weapons to deadly effect against Mexican officials and Mexican citizens. Hundreds of Mexicans have been killed in cold blood with weapons intentionally provided to them by the Obama Administration.
As recently as Saturday, October 8, the Los Angeles Times reported:
High-powered assault weapons illegally purchased under the ATF's Fast and Furious program in Phoenix ended up in a home belonging to the purported top Sinaloa cartel enforcer in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, whose organization was terrorizing that city with the worst violence in the Mexican drug wars.http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-atf-guns-20111009,0,6431788.story
In addition to the blood spilled in Mexico, blood has also been spilled in the US. U.S. Border Agent, Brian Terry, murdered in a firefight against the Mexican cartel on the U.S. side of the border, has had the weapons used to kill him positively identified as being among those GIVEN to the drug cartels by the Obama Administration. In a conversation reported by CBS News, Terry’s death is callously dismissed as “collateral damage.” (See http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31727_162-20109529-10391695.html)
While Eric Holder might plead "not guilty" to the above charges, the facts remain the same. If it is not murder and a covert war, the Obama Administration is left with only one more honorable explanation: they could plead gross incompetence and hundreds of grossly negligent homicides.
The Obama Administration has been a major participant in hundreds of Mexicans being murdered. It has provided deadly arms to the Mexican government's number one public enemy, the blood-thirsty Mexican drug cartels. To date, Mexico has not filed charges in either the World Court or at the United Nations.
Will it do so? Mexico's attorney general, Marisela Morales, quoted in the Los Angeles Times said that:
deliberately letting weapons "walk" into Mexico ...would represent a "betrayal" of [her] country
At this point, the investigation into the Obama Administration's covert war on Mexico has been hampered by obvious obstruction from Eric Holder, the U.S. Attorney General, a man whose incompetence has permitted this travesty to go on.
Morales, Mexico's attorney general, ...told The Times that she first learned about Fast and Furious from news reports. And to this day, she said, U.S. officials have not briefed her on the operation...nor have they apologized. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-mexico-fast-furious-20110920,0,6511144,full.story"At no time ...In no way would we have allowed it, because it is an attack on the safety of Mexicans."
To repeat, Morales said that directing weapons into Mexico to be used against Mexican citizens and the Mexican government is "a betrayal of [her] country."
The Obama Administration owes more than it can ever repay to the families of Mexican murder victims. At the least, it could acknowledge some grave error and begin making reparations to those struck down in cold blood with U.S. provided weapons.
Due process should result in criminal charges. These will be small consolation for the murder victims of the Obama Administration’s covert war on Mexico.
I believe it will eventually be shown that this went all the way to the Oval Office.
Without a doubt. An official government operation to arm organized crime syndicates in a foreign nation is tantamount to state-sponsored terrorism. I can think of no other comparable name for such an act.
BM for later
Sure, as soon as you explain to me why you don’t think Fast and Furious is criminal activity. I can’t believe you’re protecting the Obama Administration like this.
Nothing these guys do just 'happened'. Somebody has the big plan drawn up somewhere.
Mexico should draw up charges and seek extradition.
Maybe Obama’s Job’s Bill chant over and over is only a distraction to keep the msm busy so they do not concentrate on Fast and Furious.
Bingo. We are being governed by complete criminal idiots. Obama and Holder are accessories to the Iranian criminal plot. They sold Fast and Furious High Caliber Sniper Rifles to the Mexican Drug Cartels who are now implicated in an assassination plot within the US. Obama has run back to the devil pit that spawned him, the Roman Senate, and no doubt our traitorous Roman Senators are trying to come up with some convoluted plot to save his stinky but.
The same FBI that was involved with running high caliber sniper rifles to the Mexican Drug Cartels ? The only reason the assassination plot was viable was due to the gun running where 50 caliber sniper rifles were sent to the cartels. And the FBI helped in the gun running.
What are you? A Jesuit? How did you reach the conclusion I am defending the Obama administration?
I’m saying they are responsible. Not the American taxpayer.
You are running a diversion.
The only beneficiary of a diversion would be the Obama family.
Doh! Ya got me. Now drink your warm milk, pull up the covers and go to sleep. Tomorrow is full of promise. Maybe you can convince the taxpayers to pay reparations to the Chinese and Irish who were worked to death building the intercontinental railroad.
You are beside yourself. Perhaps you are overwhelmed by the border debate and illegals. I don’t know. What I do know is that innocent Mexicans were killed.
These were Mexicans who were NOT trying to enter the U.S.
They were murdered by weapons provided the murderers by the Obama Administration.
Do you think they DESERVED to be murdered?
You didn’t answer the question. Do you think that non-illegal residents of Mexico itself deserved to be murdered?
Are you afraid of the question?
You never explained if you were a Jesuit either so we’re even. Now go away.
I am not a Jesuit.
You are afraid to answer the question.
Did the Mexican citizens, not illegals in American, but Mexicans in Mexico, murdered by these guns walked by the Obama Adminitration, deserve to be murdered?
Don’t hyperventilate, obfuscate, or hide....just answer the question. Yes or No.
How is one to know? If they were cartel members, murderers, thieves, rapists, child molesters they got their due.
As an alleged former chaplain you should understand that God works in mysterious ways and uses everyone to do His will.
