Not a bad summation, but he is missing the Honduras and Texas connections so far.

If there is a problem with posting an entire Weekly Standard article, I would like to know. I did not see a copywrite notice.

It’s not malpractice.

It’s malfeasance.

[RobinOfKingston]

In April 2009, the administration claimed that “90 percent” of the weapons used in Mexican cartel violence originated in the United States, a figure that was also parroted by the Mexican government.

When congressional hearings examined the substance of that claim, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) revealed that figure referred only to guns that the Mexican government handed over to the ATF. Of the total number of guns seized by Mexican authorities, about 8 percent were of U.S. origin.

I should have included the subtitle:

A misbegotten scheme to boost gun control turns deadly.

The 0bama admin's Operation Fast & Furious caused death and destruction, solely for the purpose of more gun control here. Right Hillary, right Janet, right Mr. Caldaron, am I correct Mr. Holder?

If you are not sure, Eric, ask your boss, or Sarah Brady.

It’s not malpractice.

It’s malfeasance.

I'll see your malfeasance and raise you treason

[Roccus]

"The program was so out of control that when Arizona representative Gabrielle Giffords was shot last January, ATF agents immediately feared that the gun would be traced back to Fast and Furious."

...and just who determined that it did not? just axin'

FOR REFERENCE:

We are working undr the Radar ,Obama told sarah Brady

Now we know what they were doing.

What will be done about it.

Nothing— if the Media and democrats have anything to do about it.

>>On July 11, an ATF-Justice Department order went into effect requiring gun dealers in Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas to report the purchase of two or more semi-automatic rifles over five days....<<

Isn’t this an Executive Order from Zero?

When you click the Preview or Post buttons on the thread posting page, the software checks the URL of the article you're posting against the "gotta be excerpted" or "no posting allowed" databases. If the posting software does not complain, you're good to go.

Now, keep BOTH eyes wide open and if there is no PROSECUTIONS of upper level officials as a result of this report then you will have proof that both parties were in collusion with each other.

I am willing to state right now that we shouldn’t expect any prosecutions because the Progressive (communist) Democrats are too intertwined with Establishment Republicans. Guys like McCain will jump up to defend Holder, Zero and Napolitano long before they get close to a courtroom.

I’m afraid that you are right.

That this story is being ignored by the MSM and all major newspapers is horrible! Would it do any good to write to the editors of the paper in our local cities and towns and ask them why they are not reporting this?

[Palladin]

Holder is the enemy.

Get rid of him NOW!

The program was so out of control that when Arizona representative Gabrielle Giffords was shot last January, ATF agents immediately feared that the gun would be traced back to Fast and Furious.

The program wasn't "out of control," it was going exactly as planned.
