Even with that, it's a serious enough situation that he should have known about it. Not knowing means that his subordinates are circumventing procedure behind his back, which doesn't give anyone confidence in his leadership. He is either incompetent or a criminal, and Americans are dead because if it.

Not to mention dead Mexicans.

These shenanigans go on all the time behind the scenes. Rarely does the public find out.

I think Holder should step down. He either knew or he has no control over who works for him.

We are all aware that the practice of "gun-walking," which is what "Fast and Furious" is all about, actually began in 2007 during the Bush administration, correct?

Holder and ultimately Obama have responsibility for allowing it to go on, but let us not forget where it, like the Solyndra affair, began.

Operation Wide Receiver was really not the same thing. The guns were intended to be tracked to the border and confiscated by the waiting Mexican authorities. It didn't work. It was stupid as hell and risky, but they really ramped it up with F&F. "Don't tell Mexico, pump thousands of guns into Mexico, add those two up and you magically take down a cartel, somehow. "

Nice job, Eric.

Honest questions.

At what level was this operation planned and initiated.
 
2011-11-08 02:48:16 PM
I have a hard time believing he didn't know it was going on. International arms smuggling is serious business. I don't see how it could have gotten past Holder for as long as he claims it did.

Either he knew and allowed it to continue, or he really is as incompetent as he's acting and his subordinates went behind his back. However it happened, he shouldn't be in charge anymore.

He does seem to have a much better memory than the last couple of AG's though.

It's going to be hilarious to watch him develop a case of Republican Witness Stand Amnesia.

Republicans are going to throw a shiat fit every time he says "I don't recall" like their heroes.

If it's people that kill other people and not the guns, why would someone hold the government/Holder responsible for the agent's death?

This is the same Holder that bypassed the DOJ with all of Clinton's last minute pardons when he left office. Is anyone surprised this guy is still a crook?

The concept was initiated by the semi Autonomous department known as the ATF. The concept of the program was signed off on by Holder's predecessor, Mukasey towards the end of Bush II's 2nd term.

Holder got a memo.

ATF asked to expand the program and gave justifications for that expansion.

The details Holder received regarding the expansion of the program are the only questions remaining.

I would love to see Holder replaced with someone less politically connected. But the witch hunt being pursued by Issa in the manner in which it's being pursued is counterproductive.

Issa is a corrupt piece of shiat who also, definitely, belongs in jail. Nothing that comes out of that creeps circle of influence should ever be trusted at face value.

Holder should go, but he's not necessarily culpable for this. ATF is a pretty headstrong semi-autonomous department. I can easily see ATF holding back

Yup.

Not that I would mind seeing Bush era DOJ and ATF officials go to jail as well.
 
2011-11-08 03:05:34 PM
Ok, Holder. We understand you say you're not responsible. However, F&F didn't just happen. Someone came up with the idea, authorized and funded it. So, who IS responsible and why are they not incarcerated?

Wow its been a while since I've seen someone write something so racist. Speaking as a white guy that goes to Mexico on a regular basis, I think I can say, that some people care if violent criminals are turning the generally peaceful small towns of Mexico into a bath of innocent blood. Expectantly when OUR Government is supplying those psyco's with the guns to do it. I hope you are just joking.
 
2011-11-08 03:11:07 PM
Aww. Given the headline, I thought he was resigning.

The entire concept of "America's guns arming the cartels" is just so ludicrous it boggles the mind that anyone still buys into it.

Let's see.. pay American retail price for a semiauto rifle (say, $300-$800 depending on quality) with all the inherent risks involved in not just the purchase, but smuggling over the border (Bear in mind, the gun dealers CALLED THE ATF to say these people were sketchy, but were specifically ordered to complete the sales)

OR... pay $65 a pop for fully automatic rifles, in bulk, from any number of other countries and their arms dealers.

I mean sure, have purchases in America gone south over the years? I'd be real surprised if they hadn't. But acting like the border states are the primary source of cartel weaponry is an obviously transparent gun control PR stunt.

I believe the captain of the Exxon Valdez was sent to prison because he was in charge even when he didn't know what was going on. ... just a thought

Mexican isn't a race.

When the Mexicans pick leaders who will lead them instead of taking payoffs from cartel bosses, they might be worth a squirt of piss. Mexico is a quasi medieval shiathole with virtually no rule of law.

hey idiot, the ATF GAVE the farking guns to the cartles and funded it with TAX DOLLARS.

You are an idiot. Get more informed

Yes it is. Step out of the 17th century, Mexico, and you might accomplish something.

Lou Brown: If it's people that kill other people and not the guns, why would someone hold the government/Holder responsible for the agent's death?

Because according to Obama, Holder, and the rest of the gang of idiots, if the killer didn't buy that gun through F&F, he would have never been able to buy a gun since only legal guns are the problem. No one buys an illegal gun, surely you must know that. Therefore, no gun, no shooting of Agent Terry.

Now, I know YOU can see the flaw in this logic, and I see the flaw in this logic, but they don't.

Yeah welcome to Class Based Trotsky Socialism. Everyone that runs is paid off by someone. And even with that they tried to vote for someone that said he would do something about it and so they get 20,000 dead. The Mexican Govt is fighting this as a police action instead of an insurrection so they will lose.

Except under the Bush admin they either arrested them before they crossed the border or in the messed up case of Wide Receiver, tried this (FF type op), but the Mexican authorities dropped the ball. They stopped letting them cross after that failed.

Solyndra funding was DENIED under the the Bush admin.
