For the safety of Americans, and now we find the world, the BATFE needs to be changed to the BAT (Bureau of Alcohol and Tobacco.)

Take away their guns and badges and give them business cards. Let their job be to put Tax Stamps on booze bottles, chase moonshiners and bust stills with fire-axes, and look for bootleg cigarettes without Tax Stamps. Then put them under the IRS as glorified tax collectors.

Nothing More.

They've proved beyond any reasonable doubt that they're just too STOO-PID^™ to be allowed anywhere near a firearm.

Bush is no longer President.

You might tell the Bush apologist who initially brought Bush up on this thread.

He wasn’t perfect but he was a hell of a lot better than what we have now

That aint saying much. Chucko would be better than what we have now.

Drudge is finally starting to covering this. link

That wouldn't surprise me at all. I don't think we've heard the half of what Issa and Grassley have found out so far and I think they've just gotten started.

My investment tip of the day is; buy lots of popcorn! ;-)

Never mind, Druge took it down.

Sorry but I cannot help but believe that at the core we will find drug running by the government and the administration in exchange for political contributions.

Frankly, I'd bet that has been going on for a long time. Why else is the Southern Border not secure? It isn't like we need 40,000,000 farm workers.

I’d just about bet my socks there is another operation or two buried yet, in Texas, New Mexico, or maybe even Illinois. (just some of the ‘problem’ states for trans border arms traffic, according to their model)
