While speaking at the National Press Club, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said that "the key question" is to make sure that the mistakes made "never happen again."

Why the rush to comment, Janet? It’s only been 14 months since Brian Terry’s death.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The best way to make sure this doesn't happen again is to indict Eric Holder and all the other Obama Administration criminals who were involved in this.
Is Napolitano tossing Holder under the bus?
Hillary is giving it a pass and bowing out.
The State Dept has major dirt on the Justice dept.
Holder and Obama are guilty as sin.
Nappingtotallyano`s whole speech was full of crap.
Mistakes?
No it was part of the plan. The plan from 1600 Penn. Ave. to impose new gun controls because of the out of control trafficking along the Southern Border. But they did not expect to get caught cooking the books by doing the smuggling themselves.
Multi-Agency Coordination means plan from TOP.
THAT is where the investigation must go. To the TOP.
Next time they won't make the mistakes of not destroying the evidence and leaving live witnesses.
It was an intentional effort to undermine support for the 2nd Amendment. Heads need to roll. Well, at the least, jack booted thugs need to do hard time.
Holder and the ATF run a crazy program that circumvents the State dept on export of arms.
They never asked the state dept for approval.(they broke the law)
Then they got like 300 people dead, and all the while it was just to set a scenario to make some law abiding citizen in Tx look bad.
Holder should be in the Federal Pen
“”the key question” is to make sure that the mistakes made “never happen again.”
...the key QUESTION? Does Napolitano speak English? Could she have meant the key GOAL? ... or the key CHALLENGE? ...etc...
Mistakes? (an amazingly inappropriate word in this situation)
This is the most corrupt and INEPT administration I can remember.
“Holder should be in the Federal Pen”
I agree.
He is first on the list.
Lisa Jackson is pulling a strong second
“Serious mistakes were made” and everyone is in CYA mode.
I know you have the ping list for this topic and would like to be added.
Please, just shut up and go away.
vaudine
One of the mistakes was electing a crook like Obama and letting him hire another crook such as holder, and letting Obama hire crooked Janet Napolitano.
When John Kyl announced he would not seek re-election, ole fat Janet called home. I guess the message was, Janet, don’t call home and it will probably be safer not to call Arizona home.
The people of Arizona don’t like you.

"Grenade-walking" part of "Gunwalker" scandal
And this...
Worse Than Gunwalker? State Dept. Allegedly Sold Guns to ZetasPhil Jordan, a former CIA operative and one-time leader of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center, claims that the Obama administration is running guns to the violent Zetas cartel through the direct commercial sale of military grade weapons:
Jordan, who served as director of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center in 1995, said the Zetas have shipped large amounts of weapons purchased in the Dallas area through El Paso.

“They’ve found anti-aircraft weapons and hand grenades from the Vietnam War era,” Plumlee said. Other weapons found include grenade launchers, assault rifles, handguns and military gear including night-vision goggles and body armor.
More about State Department involvement...
— has sources claiming “Obama’s man in the State Department,” (former) Deputy Secretary of State Jim Steinberg, was the State Department operative who helped Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and the Department of Justice Deputy Attorney General David Ogden formulate the strategy that led to the tactics used in Operation Fast and Furious.Steinberg took office as Deputy Secretary of State on January 28, 2009
A little more than two years later, it was announced that Steinberg's time in the Obama State Department was over. From the New York Times, 30 March 2011:
Mrs. Clinton heaped praise on Mr. Steinberg, describing him as an “indispensable” partner. “On every foreign policy challenge, big and small, he has helped formulate our policy and oversee its execution,” she wrote. Mr. Steinberg, she said, played “Oscar to Jack Lew’s Felix,” referring to Jacob J. Lew, her other deputy, who left earlier this year to become Mr. Obama’s budget director.
