the senior administration official said the emails, obtained Thursday by The Times, did not prove that anyone in the White House was aware of the covert "investigative tactics" of the operation.

Yeah it does.

“Newly obtained emails show that the White House was better informed about a failed gun-tracking operation on the border with Mexico than was previously known. “

When will the net tighten enough to hang the sob?

Now we know what they knew, and when they knew it!

I know what to do.

Let's give the ID thief and his mooching wookie another 2 trillion fun bucks to spread the wealth around on lavish all expenses paid including entourage world wide vacations!

LA Times may try to spin it as the WH still not being involved, this whole thing is unraveling right before their eyes.

Operation Gun-walker was WH operation to arm an army against America. Chalk up a success for the WH, as the president of mexico says, Go North, murder, rob, pillage, rape, destroy. Thanks to the other gun runners throughout the world, besides our WH, the trouble to be, is only beginning ... a prayer I am wrong.

Interesting. In the LA Times, no less.

Not that this will go anywhere. The full power of the federal government leviathan will see to that.

“According to the emails, William D. Newell, then the ATF field supervisor for Arizona and New Mexico, was in close contact with O’Reilly and sought the White House’s help to persuade the Mexican government to let ATF agents recover U.S. guns across the border.

After earlier emails from Newell to O’Reilly surfaced, Newell testified to congressional investigators in July that the two were friends and acknowledged that he probably should not have sent them to him. But the new emails indicate that Newell and O’Reilly were in deeper discussions about gun operations on the border.”

In the new world of Pravda/ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN etc., will this ever be made a public issue?

But Michelle Bachmann is viewed as “too extreme”. So too is Rick Perry with 17% of independent respondents in a FOX poll feeling HE is “too extreme” (nevermind that a certain percentage of independents are liberals ANYWAY and will never vote GOP).

FOX is running interference for the WORST POSSIBLE choice for GOP Veep candidate - Mitt Romney.

“Went out of control...”. Bullsh!t!!! There was never ANY effort to control or track these weapons. It is clear the ATF nor anyone else ever cared where they went as long as the first step was toward Mexico.

It’s remarkable. Nobody in D.C. gives the OK for “Gun Walking,” or asks how the weapons will be monitored once they leave the stores?!

If the MSM pushes this hard, they could be clearing the way at a Hillary candidacy. They have to see that this guy is in way over his head, and they could really explode this issue to get Hillary to take him on.

If this becomes HUGE, be sure that this is the game plan.

"But the effort went out of control after agents lost track of many of the weapons.

An obviously weak attempt by the LA Times to legitimize what was at the very outset, an illegitimate hairbrained scheme, in direct violation of Federal and State law as well as a direct breach of public trust.

Heads need to roll.

What is really interesting is that in April, 2009 Obama was quoted as follows:

"A demand for these drugs in the United States is what is helping to keep these cartels in business. This war is being waged with guns purchased not here, but in the United States. More than 90 percent of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States, many from gun shops that line our shared border."

This startling statement, along with a desire to renew the ban on certain assault weapons, occurred a full 2 years before the revelation of Gunwalker aka Fast and Furious. Interesting coincidence don't you think? If I were the suspiscious type I would conclude that all of this was being done to support a complete ban of semi automatic firearms and get a Senate ratification of the UN's gungrabber treaty .
