It was a Bush policy. At the very least, the Congress should have members of the Bush Administration who came up with the policy testifying.

Obama is the President now. Not someone else. You can run but you can't hide.

If it was really a Bush policy, then that will come out, and Bush should be prosecuted. (Not sure what the laws are about going after someone after they have left that particular office, though.) But that doesn't help Obama or Holder. They continued and expanded and executed the program, and they will be held accountable. Obama and Holder will go to prison.

I'm not typically a conspiracy type, but I think that it will come out that there was at least some tie to a coordinated effort by the anti-gun side to cast the flow of weapons to Mexico as a basis for increasing restrictions here. There are just too many 'coincidental' comments using exactly the same talking points made by Feinstein and others at that same time. If you remember back that was when they were holding hearings and generally pushing that issue. But nothing in politics these days happens by 'coincidence.'

Wide Reciever was a much smaller operation and was concocted at the field level. It is unproven and unsubstantiated that anyone inside main Justice under the Bush administration knew of the operation. Once it was discovered by main Justice (under the Obama administration), Holder's top lieutenants irresponsibly expanded the operation.

Two days ago -

Obama: If you want a repeat of the failed policies of the last eight years, vote for Romney.

Today -

Obama: We invoke executive privilege because Bush did it.


Hmm. Seems they have no problem continuing Bush policies when it suits them. So why again is voting for Romney worse?

"Another retraction: Holder withdraws claim that Bush’s attorney general knew about gunwalking

Published: 12:09 PM 06/20/2012

In the wake of President Barack Obama asserting executive privilege to withhold Operation Fast and Furious documents from Congress, the Department of Justice has withdrawn a second statement made to Congress because it was inaccurate.

During last week’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Holder had alleged that former Attorney General Michael Mukasey knew of gunwalking during the George W. Bush administration.

“An attorney general who I suppose you would hold in higher regard was briefed on these kinds of tactics in an operation called Wide Receiver and did nothing to stop them — nothing,” Holder told Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn during that hearing. “Three hundred guns, at least, walked in that instance.”

After the hearing, Grassley wrote to Holder asking him to provide evidence to back up his blaming Mukasey.

Instead of being able to facilitate evidence, though, according to Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley’s office, Holder and the DOJ have now retracted that statement."

Doesn't change the fact it was still a Bush initiative. Yes, the gun walking may have occurred on Holders watch. But the criticism is of the concept of the whole thing...like this should have been expected to happen.

Perhaps you are having trouble following along. As I mentioned earlier: Wide Reciever was a much smaller operation and was concocted at the field level. It is unproven and unsubstantiated that anyone inside main Justice under the Bush administration knew of the operation. Once it was discovered by main Justice (under the Obama administration), Holder's top lieutenants irresponsibly expanded the operation.


You can't really call something a Bush initiative if none of his appointees knew about, let alone authorized such an initiative. I suppose if a government worker took a piss everyday at 3 pm during the Bush Presidency, you'd have called that a "Bush initiative" as well. Dummy.

Well, to be fair to the dimwits on the left, Holder was actually GWBs first AG - for about two weeks.

Then I stand corrected. Thank you.

And if Holder did something wrong during that two weeks, I fully expect the left would have already pulled out a cross and long since sharpened their spikes.

That seems to be the majority of the docs that they've received to date. That was the subject of much of the bitching. They've gotten a ton of stuff on Wide Receiver, but little on Fast and Furious.

Nothing in your wikipedia entry indicates anyone at main Justice knew about this operation. No political appointees were aware of gun walking. This was done by a SAC in the field. Again, nobody at main Justice knew about it. You have noevidence to indicate otherwise.

This was run by ATF. It was called Gun Runner. The fact is both the current and previous administration were fully behind this program, despite its obvious flaws in shutting down the cartels and drug-related militias.

Acoording to Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, Holder and Justice have retracted statements made that claimed Bush know about fast and Furious.

http://washingtonexaminer.com/holder-retracts-claim-bush-team-knew-about-fast-and-furious/article/2500157

Notice the words. This seems to indicate they knew about Wide Receiver but differentiates the two programs.

Interestingly, one of Justice Depts other major rettractions was "In December 2011, the Department retracted its claim that the ATF had not allowed illegally purchased guns to be trafficked to Mexico'

Pretty fucking obvious at this point that Eric Holder has a problem with truth and honesty and that Dumbo Ears is running blocking for him.

If you pay attention to human behavior and value personal integrity, I can't see how anyone could view Obama as anything but a craven liar and the worst of political animals.

Fast and Furious was a component of Gunrunner started in 2009. F&F started after they discovered what the SAC in Phoenix did. Prior to that discovery in 2009, nobody at main Justice knew about this operation. It never crossed the desk of a Bush political appointee. In 2009, Jason Weinstein and Lanny Breuer (both Obama appointees) became aware of the existence of Wide Receiver. Prior to that, the highest it ever went was to third level management at ATF headquarters.

In short, Wide Reciever did occur during the Bush administration, but nobody at main Justice had an idea that this was going on.

Political appointees and very high up officials in the Obama administration knew about and authorized Fast and Furious.

Now you won't look so stupid in the company of adults.

Your own wiki entry indicates "the DOJ reviewed Wide Receiver in September 2009."

I know you have been brainwashed to blame Bush for everything, but there is no evidence indicating that senior administration officials knew about this operation.

The Gw Bush Adm. had 0 to do with this operation and there is 0 evidence other than Holder running his fucking cock hole last week (then subsequently walking it back) to prove otherwise.

The fact is this was an attempt by the Obama administration to embarrass Arizona and AZ's Governor Jan Brewer. Especially at a time when the illegal immigrant issue was in full swing.

Fast and furious goals were thus two fold. Attack Jan Brewer and the AZ legislature and ramp up hard against the second amendment. These stupid fucks (Obama & Holder) think that they are a whole hell of a lot smarter than they actually are.

Their first mistake was to let too many operatives get involved in the scheme. Loose lips sink ships and this is a perfect example. Too many lips knew about Fast and Furious.Rookie mistakes by Obama and Holder.

Now they are proving that they are even worse in trying to cover the whole pile of excrement up.

My God what a disaster. In just a few days everything is coming completely unraveled for President Obama. A double blow. "Dreams Of My Father" is a fiction novel at best making Obama's entire life as he presented it a lie. Simultaneously he is backed into a legal corner to the point of contempt with the F&F drama.

Holder will now have to go. I think they will try to run out the clock out knowing that their re-election chances are evaporating before their eyes.

At least the gun running during Iran / Contra was going to the freedom fighters in Central America and not targeting the freedom and constitutional rights of law abiding citizens of the United States Of America.

Now we have a dead border agent and who knows how many more on both sides of the border. This is what people can go to hell for.

Exactly...

They have "nothing to hide" and the documents released are not being made public, as in a FOIA- the docs are going to investigators within COngress.

And the history of the program was supposed to implicate Bush, though that has been retracted.

Who the fuck in the Bush administration thought selling weapons, not just any weapons, but ASSAULT rifles, to Mexican drug cartels was a good idea for tracking purposes?????? WTF????

I'm wouldn't be surprised now to find out that the Bush administration was helping the cartels smuggle drugs. WTF is wrong with people????

And the Bush administration called the program a success and Obama continued it??? WTF???


http://www.atf.gov/firearms/programs/project-gunrunner/

Gun trafficking to Mexico is a nationwide problem with consequences on both sides of the border. In response, ATF implemented Project Gunrunner in 2006 as a comprehensive strategy to reduce firearms and explosives related violent crime associated with Mexican criminal organizations operating in the U.S. and Mexico by preventing these organizations from unlawfully acquiring and trafficking firearms and explosives. Through Project Gunrunner, ATF works in conjunction with its domestic and international law enforcement partners to identify, disrupt, and dismantle the firearms and explosives trafficking infrastructure of criminal organizations operating in Mexico, along the border, and other areas of the U.S.

Project Gunrunner’s objective is to deny Mexican drug cartels the tools of the trade, which they employ to murder rival drug traffickers, civilians, as well as political, military, and law enforcement figures in order to strengthen their grip on the lucrative drug and firearms routes into and out of the United States.

The cornerstone of Project Gunrunner is intelligence-led firearms trafficking investigations. This process involves the collection of information from a variety of sources such as Federal Firearms Licensees, ballistic and forensic analysis, and data derived from firearms tracing in addition to traditional intelligence sources and methods. This information is then synthesized, analyzed and appropriate leads are disseminated to ATF field offices for investigative action. The information is also shared with our Federal, State, local and tribal partners, as well as our Mexican law enforcement counterparts, each contributing their unique capabilities and resources, forming a multi-layered, comprehensive approach to disrupting firearms trafficking and drug-related violence.

Republicans are not after the gunrunning program, they are after names in the documents that can cut off. Specifically the name of the person(s) in the NRA that leaked the republican program.

Republicans want to cut off a mole in the NRA.

I have a hard time believing that Mexican drug cartels are getting most of their guns from the US. With all the contra's and foreign covert OPs I would think that South America would be better for buying guns.

This must of been some CIA\NSA bullshit under the new "Homeland Security Administration."

You're right, especially when a majority of AK's they were getting
were fully automatic. You don't just walk into a gun shop and buy
one of those. Lots of hoops to jump through.

There is no doubt.

If this was a Bush administration policy/operation in theory or inception, you could bet your first born every last morsel of evidence would have been disclosed as soon as Obama could figure out how to read it off the teleprompter.

You sure as fuck wouldn't need the FOIA he would be screaming from the roof of the fucking White House.

The stupid fucking assholes can't keep a secret worth a shit. Who is leaking what? Leon Panetta? Fuck every one of these ass holes. They are enemies of America and every last tenant and principle that have made this country great.

Anyone who still has the unmitigated stupidity to continue to support and apologize for these creeps should be marked and avoided. Fuck what a mess!

It really makes Obama look strong on the world stage now doesn't it?
Oh yea and also the United States Of America.

Turned on the tube a while ago and they were in the
middle of an interview with a Chuckie Schoomer aide.
Didn't catch his name but this boy is one step away
from a major corornary. He's so mad I thought they
were going to have to throw a bucket of cold water
on him. I love this. Too much fun. What goes around
comes around.

BTW, Gerry I know you're reading these posts. Hows about
a press conference? Your performance yesterday was a
real hoot.

That hasn't been the strategy of the Obama Administration(OA). OA let's the issues get huge in the news, gather good intel to destroy and then they drop the bomb shell that makes republicans look like fools at a primetime.

Take a look at the long form birth certificate. Obama waited for Trump and then when it became a huge political issue and republicans were all hitting the news circuit he dropped the bomb to silence Trump supporters.

The OA motto seems to be "Wait until we really have to release information."

Exactly. Name one Bush official that knew about gun walking at that time. I can name you at least two Obama appointees that knew about and encouraged gun walking. Gunrunner did not involve letting guns walk. It was an intelligence diven and inspection driven process. A single SAC in a single jurisdiction let guns walk. That information never made it to main Justice.

The Democrats lies about this going on in the Bush administration are being exposed.

This is just more that Wayne LaPierre of NRA is pulling. Ever since Boehner and Gingrich had their little tat, LaPierre has been on the war path to make Boehner look bad. Most asinine move every.

Drop the shit Gingrich! YOU LOST!

Looks like the ATF used the Fast and Furious case to argue for more gun regulations..

This is kind of like when they find some VFD wannabe is actually an arsonist himself.

There was a strategy session with main Justice to use this to reimplement the assault weapons ban and impose other new firearms regulations. The stuff not being turned over is damning.

So they wanted a specific reg to track the guns they were smuggling.

It doesn't have the same reach as "more gun regulations".

No, stupid...

Linking to "Talking Points Memo" is lame, it's basically an opinion website run by leftist fagwads..

From the CBS website-
ATF officials didn't intend to publicly disclose their own role in letting Mexican cartels obtain the weapons, but emails show they discussed using the sales, including sales encouraged by ATF, to justify a new gun regulation called "Demand Letter 3". That would require some U.S. gun shops to report the sale of multiple rifles or "long guns." Demand Letter 3 was so named because it would be the third ATF program demanding gun dealers report tracing information.

What more do you want?

Obama/Holder screwed up and their stupid policy killed a border agent and countless Mexican nationals.

Actually the guns that were being trafficked for tracing were not useable.

I don't know how that is possible since what cartel is going to buy a couple of guns that don't work.

I'm sure the first thing every guy does is want to fire a new weapon.

LaPierre of NRA saying the only guns sold from the US in the stings were to the Mexican army is complete bullshit. He's just trying to cover the NRA's tracks.

Holy Christ! Who the fuck thought pissing down Castro's leg with the whole the USSR standing behind him was a good idea in the Kennedy administration??????

Oh wait.........Kennedy (like Bush) is no longer our president. Thankfully Johnson didn't redouble Kennedy's efforts and kill off the whole planet though huh?

Don't know. But Eric fucking Holder is the smartest fucking person on mother earf that's for sure.

How the fuck do you shut something down that by your own admission you didn't know about at the time?

He shut it down as soon as he found out about it but he didn't know about it at the time.

The term for that is "liar".

Hey, get off his back. He made idiotic off-point comments at the hearing the other day. He can't come up with something stupid to say every damn day. Plus it's Friday for fux sake. Can't expect the guy to work on the weekend! Check back on during his normal work week Wednesday-Thursday.
