Now the federal funding for counter-terrorism and counter-narcotics programs around the world went unfunded by mistake -- an "oversight" by the Under-Secretary of Defense?
DOJ (headed by Eric Holder) falls under Homeland Security (headed by Janet Napolitano). Eric Holder used to work for Janet Napolitano during the Clinton administration. DOD is headed up by Leon Panetta.
Leon Panetta was a member of the U.S. House Committee on the Budget from 1979 to 1985 — and its chairman from 1989 to 1993. Then he was the director of the Office of Management and Budget for a few years. Then he was White House Chief of Staff for the Clinton administration, then headed the CIA.
Now he is secretary of Defense and someone who works for him "FORGOT" to get budget approval for federal counternarcotics programs???
Only person missing from the group of key players / Obama underlings is Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Anyone dare call this treason?
Or is this a setup to get Obama out of and Hillary into the White House?
Of course, then it could be BOTH!
Then I see yet ANOTHER possibility in a "multi-tasking" task force:
Grey Whiskers says: "[maybe] someone high, high up had a specific shipment they wanted to slip through for their own private use..."
OMG.
Maybe the government is so big that they simply forgot what they were supposed to do. Especially the people you list - very very busy arming drug cartels and strip searching 80 year old women before they board a plane. Seriously though, they have taken on so much that they now must also deal with citizen and Congressional backlash - that takes up even more time. All the more reason to scale the size and scope of government back big time.
Or maybe this is the Peter Principle in play. The people in charge have risen to their highest level of incompetence. Scary for all involved. I can believe this.
Or possibly these people have something to gain. If they armed the cartels south of our border and in Afghanistan and Kosovo as alleged (going back over the recent 4 Administrations), then it makes sense that they no longer even want counter intel or to stop the flow of drugs.
Or maybe these guys are all just philosophically opposed to the WOD and, for the first time found a way to sneak a fast one past Congress.
