Special mention needs to be repeatedly made that the Bush administration’s “Operation Wide Receiver” was shut down in 2007, well before these pathological liars were even in office.
Not only that, but there’s vast information out there (on Sipsy Street, today in the Washington Times, and elsewhere) that Gunwalker was announced by the administration back in March of 2009, just prior to Hillary, and Holder, visiting Mexico. Also, Obama had visited Mexico as president-elect, then as president, and discussed upcoming programs between the two countries.
Sipsy Street believed early on, that the Gunwalker, then F&F programs were developed through the State Dept’s insistance on maintaining claims of high percentages of guns walked into Mexico that had proven to be false. They needed the high percentages in order to prove that additional anti-gun legislation was necessary.
