Why aren't the critics going after the last Bush administration where this whole thing began. AG Mulkasey had to have approved "Fast and Furious" and the Obama administration came along and decided to continue it. I think they decided the threshhold on what is and is not legal, had been lowered so they just embelished it by involving many other agencies of the federal government.

Many times when something like this happens in our government the comment is, "I was not protecting the man, I was protecting the presidency". Well, after the news this past week on John Kennedy and Miss Mi Mi, I believe there is not much left to protect.

Because when Bush did it he had the approval of the Mexican government and actually put tracking devices in the guns - unlike now, when neither of those is the case any more.

Under Holder it’s a whole different bird; it’s not even a weapons tracking program, it’s simply a drug cartel arming program. An act of war against Mexico in an attempt to get the Mexican government to pressure the US to get rid of the 2nd amendment.

“Why aren’t the critics going after the last Bush administration where this whole thing began.”

From what I’ve read, it was carried out QUITE differently under GW than BHO. The guns were tracked and successful stings were made. Under Holder/BHO, there’s been no effort to track the arms - they just put them out there.

Motivations/intent between the two administrations are significant.
