Issa Confirms 200 Mexicans Killed by Fast and Furious Weapons
American Thinker ^ | September 21, 2011 | M Catharine Evans

The cover-up of Fast and Furious is unraveling at breakneck speed. As a result of the ongoing investigation by Rep. Darrell Issa, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, the LA Times and Townhall.com are both reporting Mexico has been kept in the dark about the deadly fallout of the botched operation.

While information about the mounting carnage trickles out, a black cloud has descended over the White House, the DOJ and American-Mexican relations.

From Townhall.com:

"I would be remiss if I didn't mention, as the Attorney General in Mexico is so concerned, she's made the point that at least 200 Mexicans have been killed with these weapons and probably countless more," Issa said. [snip]

This is not surprising, considering out of 2500 weapons the Obama Justice Department allowed to "walk," and that only 600 have been recovered, the rest are lost until they show up at violent crime scenes.

The LA Times:

Marisela Morales, Mexico's attorney general and a longtime favorite of American law enforcement agents in Mexico, told The LA 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 gone awry, nor have they apologized...

When we say that the Obama administration is a hard-leftist organization who will stop at nothing to destroy America for the purpose of pillaging its resources, we are NOT exaggerating.

How long would they have hidden the blue dress? But even Drudge won’t touch this. Wonder if it is because Sipsey Street has been in the lead on this since it started?

Eric “Muffin Man” Holder.
You know, this whole Fast and Furious thing was supposed to show us how bad guns are, and instead, they have shown us how bad a liberal Democrat government is.

Seems to me that Obama has caused America to fit our own definition of a terror supporting nation.

I'm starting to think he wants to start a war with Mexico??

The dead Mexicans are not Holder’s “people.” He’s breaking some eggs on the way to a defenseless Utopia.

Bizarre? for the media?

business as usual.

We got a full blown war with daily invasions going on at the border and Obama is eating ice cream and playing golf between fundraisers, beer and cigs..

American citizens lives are cheap these days as are their future hopes if he gets re-elected.

Maybe Katie HiColonic can do a special someday about it.

What were they thinking??????

What was Stalin thinking? You can't worry about irrelevant peasant lives when greater global socialist goals are at stake.

It seems that the operation was a success. Maybe some low level employee will be thrown under the bus but the real purpose of the plot is to prove that:

“GUNS KILL PEOPLE”

for the sake of enacting gun control. Nevermind that the guns were placed in the hands of murderers who used them accordingly.

Wow, 200+ people murdered. I would say we deport the players for a Mexican trial and prison.

In one of the links is a transcript of a conversation Holder had while being questioned about Fast and Furious.

Holder was asked if his Deputy AG James Cole authorized FAF. His reply, “my guess would be no”.

Holder is Cole’s boss. He should be able to pick up the phone and know the answer in about 2 minutes. What the heck is going on here?
