Why ‘Fast and Furious’ matters

Why “Fast and Furious” matters. “Hundreds of people died because of the operation, but no one takes responsibility.” Of course not, Bush never takes responsibility for these things.

  • I hope this doesn't turn out to be another case of letting Dumbs sweep stuff under the rug.

  • Another point is that Mexicans can use this as a way to "get even " with innocent U.S. Citizens who visit Mexico or even here in the US.

  • This is wrong in so many ways. So the messiah decides he hates guns. And to better control his subjects, means they should not be able to have firearms. So what does our clever man-child come up with? Well, he'll just smuggle many guns south of the border, and give them to the Mexican drug cartels. The Mexican cartels then will use them for crimes, and obomie-the-commie's lap-dogs in the media will dance and sing and convince everybody how evil guns are. The problem is obomie's media is getting less and less important, and someone in the alternate media reported that this was caused by an obomie hatched scheme called "Fast and Furious". (IMPORTANT NOTE: Bush had a MUCH smaller program called "Wide REceiver", which was an abysmal failure and was promptly cancelled. F-n-F was much larger and was not haled when the error of it became obvious. So enter corrupt-o-crat AG Eric Holder. Congress gets word of the involvement of the Department of Justice. They haul up holder to find out who knew what, and when. Well Holder does the hokey=pokey, mumbles this and that and weasels his way out. Congress threatens a Contempt charge, and his hero obomie-the-commie comes to his rescue with an Executive Privilege. This was never intended to be used to hide illegal events.

      • Help me out Mr. Kick (again) but I thought it could only be claimed to cover 3 things to begin with: national security, diplomacy (State) and military. Let's see, can't be ns or military, and seeing as Mexico didn't know and hundreds of people died I'm sure they like us even better now, can't be State. So isn't it a bogus claim from the get-go and your point about covering Holder's contempt the icing on the cake?

        Not to mention the millions in civil liability that will flow through the courts over the next 20 years.

  • It matters due to the fact that barry and holder attempted to circumvent the US Constitution and in the process got a Border Agent killed along with an ICE agent.

    I’m sick of hearing how every thing is Bush's fault, not barry’s. barry has had 3.5 years in order to do what he claimed he would do to improve the lives of all of his followers. All he has done is made their lives miserable and in the process took the rest of us with him.

    When it was determined that the cartels had found the rfis in the weapons that where being used in Wide Receiver, that operation was shut down and during this operation, the Mexican government knew about it.

    Boehner and Issa need to stop with the games and just bring the vote to the floor.
