Foolish operation? The truth is probably that the enemy-Left O-regime wanted to put arms in the hands of leftist terrorists and other scum seeking to enter the US illegally.

Excellent article that every American should read.
How's that working out for the people of Chicago...?
They're quickly passing Detroit as one of the most dangerous cities on earth for gun violence!
It's what the left has done for decades. They're always selling their power grabs as "for the children" or what-have-you. And too many simps fall for it.
Great article. The MSM this morning is framing this as a Republican witch hunt. It’s unbelievable that they will not report this fair and honestly. They pose it as “is it this or is it that”. Even Greta. For heaven’s sake, if the damn thing walks like a duck ...
Sad isn’t it
And no way around that fact for the majority of the Sheeple get their views as dictated by the MSM
Investigate Hillary Clinton and Janet Napolitano as well. To let guns “walk” across the border hits their individual territories big time too.
This whole administration is rotten to the absolute core.
“That word is TREASON.
Holder must be prosecuted and if the evidence also shows Obama was involved (which he almost certainly was) he must be impeached.”
I believe treason is a capital crime too, so lets not just stop at impeachment. Unfortunately, what they did is not Treason as Mexico is not a stated enemy of the US nor are we at war with them.
“I haven’t heard any evidence that the guns of F&F were ever meant to be “TRACKED” to the upper levels of cartel organizations”
Of course not, the same Cartel members whom are already wanted for Murder, Torture, let alone drug running. To think they would simply be arrested for receiving guns is folly.
Why do I hear no one say this:
Fast & Furious was a scam which included the government of a foreigh country to subvert the Constituion. The goal was to subvert the Bill of Rights and the Second Amendment.
The Obama open mike incident with Russian President Medvedev shows that Obama IS absolutely willing to work with a foreign government to work against the interests and safety of the American People.
Will Romney prosecute Obama Administration people on these charges? We already know that the Weeper of the House will do nothing that upsets the media. Cowards, almost all of them.s
Damn, this is way more impressive than Iran-Contra!
Uh Uh. By invoking executive privilege, Obama has tied the Office of the President directly to the operation. If he had no knowledge of the operation, he couldn't claim that.
Liberals accused Ronald Reagan and the CIA of introducing crack cocaine into urban areas on purpose.
Senator John Kerry led a committee investigation of this.
In the black community, many still blame Reagan and the CIA for crack babies and the destruction of the black family.
Fast & Furious is one million times more severe and there is no interest from liberals.
Keep in mind that we only know of a few murders because the firearms were left at the scene.
Since there are thousands of firearms from this program in the hands of the most brutal criminals in North America, there are probably hundreds of Americans who have been killed.
Every murder near the border should be linked to Fast & Furious.
Excellent article.
Bump
Maybe that's what they said, but without any way to track the guns into Mexico, that wasn't going to work. The guns in the aborted Wide Receiver operation had GPS trackers in them, but the batteries gave out too soon for the units to be effective. That is why the operation under Bush was halted.
Fast and Furious is one of several operations which had no chance of succeeding at anything but delivering guns into the hands of the cartels (and other criminals) which could be traced to American gun dealers. That the operation was to provide the data to support subverting our RKBA is the only reason for the operation which makes sense, especially considering the 90% figure had been seriously debunked.
It is infuriating for me to imagine how this would be handled if the repubs were the perps. The dems and their media lap dogs would shut down everything. New 24 hour cable news shows would appear.
It is an depressing reminder of how weak repubs remain.
They have Holder (and possibly Obama) with the blood still dripping from their fingers, but are too timid and cowardly to bring them to justice.
