WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder says an investigation of arms traffickers called Operation Fast and Furious was flawed in concept as well as in execution, never should have happened and "it must never happen again."

Facing tough questioning by Senate Republicans, the attorney general said in remarks prepared for a hearing Tuesday that he wants to know why and how firearms that should have been under surveillance could wind up in the hands of Mexican drug cartels.

"Unfortunately, we will feel its effects for years to come as guns that were lost during this operation continue to show up at crime scenes both here and in Mexico," the attorney general said.

The Driveby Media are too busy transcribing Gloria Allred’s press releases to be concerned with DOJ getting Americans killed, democrat money laundering at Solyndra, possible nuclear war in the east, and Zero's creation of two more radical Islamic States.

Holders part in this is like the old saying about a fart that has slipped out.

Him that smelt it dealt it..

Obama knows damned well how it happened , he guided it for Obama.

"it must never happen again."

I believe that's Dr. Conrad Murray grounds he will use for the appeal!

What! No who?
Who, what, when, where, why and how.
Is this an unconscious admission that he already knows who the 'in absentia' "who" is since he doesn't want to know that?

Treason with pre-meditated, agenda-driven murder.

Meanwhile the press and talk radio is on 24/7 watch for potential Cain bimbo eruptions...not even concerned they don’t hold any credible accusations.

I see Herman is doing a PC today. He should come right at at the beginning and make a confession: I admit I was driving that car with a young a lady onboard when it went over the side of the bridge and she drowned and all these years you have been shielding Ted as the potential culprit.
