Regardless of the merits and demerits of Operation Wide Receiver, you do not foster an intelligent or productive discussion of the subject by omitting key facts which serve to deceive the participants and listeners in the discussion. You also do not do your argument nor yourself any favors by falsely attempting to argue that I am defending Operation Wide Receiver because I had the temerity to call attention to your misrepresentation of the facts by your ommission of key information which clearly demonstrates the vast difference between the actions of the Obama Administration and Bush Administration.

The Obama Administration has been caught obstructing efforts to stop the gunrunning, whereas the Bush Administration was caught making sincere but ineffective efforts to stop the gunrunning already underway despite prior efforts to stop such gun trafficing. Criticizing any ineptness by either Administration does nothing to change the basic difference in the actions of the two Administrations.

I didn’t omit anything Mr. X. It was a stupid idiot operation regardless of motive.

They found the tracking devises, and cartels who have billions at their disposal, electronically sweep everything going into their compounds and safe areas. Hello??

Then Bush’s boys coordinated with corrupt Mexican law enforcement, many of which are on the payroll of these cartels?

Stupid! No?

After that scheme with Bush, did the violence subside? Hell no, the violence exploded and continued, and the fact is many of the weapons in operation Wide Receiver were never recovered and were lost in Mexico.

It would be like intentionally flooding your town with Heroin in the hopes of finding and tracking the users and buyers. Reckless and stupid.

Just for you, regardless of who is in charge, or their motives, ya don’t intentionally allow U.S. weapons to go into the violence of Mexico, knowing damn well many will simply disappear into that corrupt war zone, just as they did with Operation Wide Receiver.

These types of lunatic government operations and schemes we’re incredibly dangerous, reckless and just plain stupid.
