I listed 3 sites about Fast and Furious. the one during Bush's term was NOT the ATF selling guns but tracking gun runners. ABC reported on it.

Democratic Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton of the District of Columbia. Fast and Furious began in October 2009 and Horowitz said subordinates should have told Holder about it well before 2011.

In this operation, which began in the fall of 2009 and continued into early 2011, the federal government purposefully allowed known or suspected gun smugglers to purchase guns at federally licensed firearms dealers in Arizona.

The incident arose on Sept. 27, 2007, when ATF agents were conducting surveillance on subjects under investigation for gun trafficking and they hoped to work with the Mexican government to interdict them. The emails’ existence was first reported by The Associated Press Friday night.

Confusion over the incident came to the attention of ATF headquarters from Carson Carroll, who was then the deputy assistant director for the Office of Field Operations.

“ATF agents observed this vehicle [carrying guns] commit to the border and reach the Mexican side until it could no longer be seen,” Carroll wrote in a Sept. 28, 2007 email. “We, the ATF … did not get a response from the Mexican side until 20 minutes later, who then informed us that they did not see the vehicle cross. For the first time we are working hand in hand with the GOM [Government of Mexico] and providing them with what they want and this is what we get!”

someone has badly misinformed you . Operation Wide receiver (2006) was a joint operation between the US and Mexican governments . This operation involved equipping guns with radio transmitters , tracked by aerial surveillance and intercepted before crossing the border.
The gun smugglers quickly learned to simply drive in circles until the plane had of refuel and then cross the border . In addition to damage to antenna by agents forcing the transmitters into the guns. It was considered a minor scandal when approximately 300 guns were able to cross the border and the program was ended . ( 2007 )

YEARS PASS

Now two years later ( 2009 ) someone in the Obama administration decided that selling guns to Mexican drug Cartels was a good Idea . No tracking , no interception , No coordination with the Mexican Government . Just sell the drug Cartels guns. ( provide reasoning for this here , http://www.examiner.com/artic... )
In the fall of 2009 DOJ decided to prosecute the wide Reciever case
