The good news is that the Obama administration is in full defensive mode on Project Gunwalker and people with brighter minds, more free time, and a much broader reach than I are making the same connections I posed back on May 21st.ATF and Holder, and all the rest of the cranks, insist it was to track the guns to the bad guys. But given the way democrats feel about gun rights you have to wonder if they had other motives. “Finding” American guns in the hands of drug cartels plays right into their rhetoric.Being who they are, that would demand that they short-stroke this “discovery” into expanding gun control legislation, and I’m not convinced that this was not a convenient side effect if not the entire point of the program.
My conclusion was that previous comments by whacked out leftists about American guns in Mexico was a precursor to the expectation that Gunwalker would eventually prove them right. How convenient that the Obama administration just happened to be running a secret program, at the same time as the remarks, that would provide that very evidence? Bob Ownes over at Pajamas Media is hot on the trail. In his June 20th article he brings the main course to the table.
ATF agents testifying in front of the House Oversight Committee could not explain how the operation was supposed to succeed when their surveillance efforts stopped at the border and interdiction was never an option.ATF Agent John Dodson, testifying in front of the committee, said that in his entire law enforcement career, he had “never been involved in or even heard of an operation in which law enforcement officers let guns walk.” He continued: “I cannot begin to think of how the risk of letting guns fall into the hands of known criminals could possibly advance any legitimate law enforcement interest.”
Given the dubious nature of the program, cross-border violence perpetrated with weapons purchased in America becomes a more likley goal, and seeing as the program is supported by a manifold of gun haters in the executive branch, brain-walking yourself to the conclusion I posited back in May is easier than finding hypocrisy in the New Hampshire Democrat party; Obama’s boys are manufacturing a crisis to support a thesis; Drug lords use American guns to kill people, including Americans. So the only way to stop it was to control the firearms.
It is, however, beginning to look like the carnage is the result of Leftists willing to end more human life to advance a political agenda and increase federal power over the people. Hardly anything new for the party of death but it looks like the “smartest people in the room” overlooked something. They forgot that there really are decent, law abiding Americans who take their oath to defend and protect our citizens as something other than a gag line at private left wing parties, and public political events. The whistle blowers have blown this wide open and it is only a matter of time before a special prosecutor has to come in and unravel another democrat plot to rob law abiding citizens of their Constitutional rights.

They better get a special prosecutor appointed and it better be done pretty quickly. I believe the Secretary of State, the U.S. Attorney General had to have known, Janet Napolitano had to have known. Many, many federal agents of several agencies had to have known and approved of the operation.
If you listened to the whistle-blowers testimony or read it, he said that Operation Fast & Furious was a sanctioned Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force Case (OCDETF), which means after the ATF agents made the proposal, it had to go to the regional OCDETF office.
That office is supervised by an assistant U.S. attorney. The member agencies of OCDETF are DEA, ATF, FBI, and ICE and each has a designated special agent assigned as the regional coordinator. So after the proposal has met the approval of the ATF Phoenix Special Agent in Charge (SAC), it has to be reviewed and approved by these coordinators and the regional boss.
Then they ship the proposal to what is commonly known as “Main Justice” or DOJ, for further approval by the OCDETF Program Director, who would be high up on the food chain at DOJ.
The operational proposal contains what DOJ would classify as “sensitive” issues. First, letting the guns walk, and the second would be knowingly allowing them to go into Mexico.
This means the DOJ folks would have to run this by the U.S. Department of State, starting with the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, who would assemble his “in-country” team of top advisors and that would include ALL of the Legal Attaches. The legal attaches are special agents from ATF, DEA, FBI and ICE. So there are a bunch more folks that should have been deeply involved in the approval process. All of which submit tons of reports to their headquarters in Washington.
Now the ambassador has to decide to crucial items; does he permit the operation to go forward and does he tell the Mexicans. See the political ramifications involved here, so do you think he wrote paper to support the operation and NOT tell the Mexicans.
Oh yeah, the ambassador that was in place to approve this has since resigned, claiming wiki-leaks was the reason.
This potato is too hot for any single agency Office of Inspector General to handle.
