Reuters appears to have taken the side of the Obama Administration in the Operation Fast & Furious scandal in which guns were permitted by the Bureau of Alcohol Firearms Tobacco and Explosives in which guns were permitted to be "walked" across the Mexican border via the sale to straw buyers. The Department of Justice has portrayed this as a mere "botched" operation in which "mistakes" were made rather than the result of malignant intent. And if you read this Reuters article about Attorney General Eric Holder's attempt to distance himself from what has been dubbed "Operation Gunwalker" they go out of their way to emphasize the "botched" nature of the operation which has been the administration line on this matter:
(Reuters) - Attorney General Eric Holder on Wednesday sought to distance himself and other senior Justice Department officials from a botched operation to track guns smuggled to Mexican drug cartels, saying they were not involved.

FYI
It was a botched operation.
The overseers of this plan did not succeed in discrediting, perhaps repealing or re-writing the 2d amendment, and demonizing all law-abiding American gun owners

Well, dayum! LOL
Beatcha by 11 seconds, LOL!
Think it is becoming more clear as to why we are seeing a series of botched operations from DC. Apparently we are living in a world with no Soviet Union, but still with most of its American compromised Soviet assets. So they are now quite literally operating on their own. Sort of like - Borg’s Gone Wild. That is my guess, anyway.

Lanny Breuer is the weak link. Start shining the spotlight on him, call him before Issa’s committee, let ALL GOP members cede their time to the smartest, most informed member and subject him to sharp, direct questions, refuse to let him dance and he will fold like a two dollar suitcase.

They're cutting their own throats with that angle and I say let them!
If there was an operation to be "botched" it had to have been approved beforehand so that it could be "botched".
Who approved the original plan and what were the original plans if they were "botched"?
