I just think that if the goal was to set the American people up to accept more restrictive gun laws, that there are so many more effective ways they could have gone about it than allowing guns to get into the hands of Mexican drug gangs. Mexicans are dead, scores of them and I don't think that particularly bothers anyone this side of the border. Yes, two Americans are dead, but that wasn't supposed to happen.
What do Mexican drug lords have that the worst within the Obama administration might want to trade the guns for? How about money? How about as much or more money than Obama's largest corporate donors?
Our President has spent all but four hours a day fund raising for the past three months. I think they would accept a "donation" from anyone. Could the drug cartels have carried out some other mission for Obama/Holder? Why is Calderon not screaming for someone's head? Mexican police have been killed by these guns. Why wasn't this an international incident months ago?
Guatemala? I don't have much more than a hunch that the Zelaya ouster and subsequent demand by the Obama administration to reinstate him, that perhaps it ties somehow to indirectly arming Zelaya's proponents in Guatemala through Mexico. Just a hunch. The Guatemala incident was a big black eye for the Obama adminstration and these people are vindictive in the extreme.
Interesting post, way. Food for thought.
