REPORTING FROM MEXICO CITY -- The United States government has yet to brief Mexican authorities on the failed Fast and Furious gun-running operation that led to scores of American weapons being smuggled purposefully into a raging drug war, Mexico's top law enforcement official told The Times.

"At no time did we know or were we made aware that there might have been arms trafficking permitted," said Atty. Gen. Marisela Morales in comments from a recent interview with Times reporters published Tuesday. "In no way would we have allowed it, because it is an attack on the safety of Mexicans."

Memo to Mexico: We, the People of America, are having a hard enough time getting this lame ass idiot-ridden administration to explain such. Join the club and get in line. =.=

U.S. has yet to explain Fast and Furious to Mexico, official says

Well, Vin Diesel is the head of this gang that hijacks trucks and modifies Japanese cars. Michelle Rodriguez is his angry girlfriend and Jordana Brewster plays his sister who falls for the cop who infiltrates their gang. Actually, there's not that much to explain - just enjoy the cars.

REPORTING FROM MEXICO CITY -- The United States government has yet to brief Mexican authorities on the failed Fast and Furious gun-running operation that led to scores thousands of American weapons being smuggled purposefully into a raging drug war...

There. I fixed it.

This could only be a purposeful understating of what went on.

He is trying to pretend it never happened.

Hey Mexico, 0bama and Holder were using you in their crack-pot scheme to remove our 2nd Amendment Rights!

[MurrietaMadman]

Evil, America hating people are in charge Yes

there’s been a coup at the WH. I don't think it's complete, yet. I think any action by Mexico I alluded to in the earlier post is part of future events

Obama's change chumped America but he got chumped first. Those who will unseat him will not undo anything he did but will run hard with it.

We, the People better snap out of the dazed and confused mode and find someone(s) to trust politically and rally around.

[MurrietaMadman]

I’m missing your point here. I know the story.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Fast and furious rose out of the same thought processes as the Solyndra debacle, Lightsquared and the runaway tyranny of the EPA and the other alphabet agencies.

"Progressives" have an end goal and they will justify any means to get there.

Their zeal precludes rationality, logic and truth.

Imagine what would have happened had we not managed to wrest back at least some legislative power and the zealot idiots still controlled both the executive and legislative branches of government.

What's to explain? The Obama administration simply wanted proof that guns sold by US gun stores were being used in crimes and murders in Mexico and the US. Of course, the part they didn't want anybody to notice was the fact that it was the US government that facilitated getting those guns to the criminal drug cartels in Mexico (and possibly other countries, like Honduras). And of course, there's that little "fly in the ointment" of the death of the Border Patrol Agent. And at least 200 dead Mexicans. "Oopsie, Holder and Obama's bad..."

Yep, imagine. (horror)

[MestaMachine]

Ot was just an add on to show that murders of American agents as well as Mexican citizens have resulted from this op with more to come and should be dealt with in the harshest way possible.
A response to:
“My optimism could be betraying me but I think Mexico is getting ready to help level the executive branch.”

[jmacusa]

Mexico has yet to explain why it meddles in the sovereign affairs of The United States and why it actively encourages it’s citizens to violate our borders.

[jmacusa]

ROTFLMAO!!!!! Oh man, that’s funny!

[crazydad]

And Paul Walker the worst Actor in Hollywood would be a better cop then any of the idiots working on the Fast and the Furious gun running.

[MurrietaMadman]

In opening statements at the conference on Wednesday, Attorney General Marisela Morales called for strengthening the strategy against “narcomenudeo”, or local drug dealing for domestic consumption, which she admitted is the real engine driving violence in the country, and was the motive for the murder of the 35 people in Veracruz.

That statement, as I read it, indicates a significant departure from the Mexican presidents claim that the flow of guns from the US is the cause of violence in Mexico.

Something's up. That was my point. I was not favoring their dead over our dead.

[MestaMachine]

Nor was I. just mentioning it. Our government is responsible for murders on both sides of the border. And we don’t know yet, but it is VERY possible that the weapons used in the Carson City shooting of National Guardsmen were ALSO walked weapons. I want this administration to be held acountable, and the Mexican government, if their president knew, should be held accountable as well.
Add to that we don’t know how many weapons went to OTHER countries besides Mexico. ALL of this needs to see the light of day.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Because there is no explanation that does not make Obama look like a liar or like he is trying to destabilize the Mexican government.

[MurrietaMadman]

I’d like to know for sure if a domestic version of f&f wasn’t in place, too.
