Thoughts on the Issa Report: Passing the buck, that's all. It names five "small fry" in Operation Fast and Furious. But it ignores its own evidence, while calling this a failed operation. Failed? You call this failure? From page 25 (of 211):

On November 24, 2009, [Special Agent-in-Charge William]
Newell [of the Phoenix ATF office] informed Dennis Burke, the U.S.
Attorney for the District of Arizona, of the large weapons recovery in
Mexico a few days earlier.Burke responded,“Wow, frickin-A. They were
already across the Border heading south?”


Wow, frickin-A? And this is failure? If Burke had not wanted to hear this, he would have said, “Oh, sh[oo]t!” He wasn't outraged. He was pleased. Pleased as Punch.

You want to know what this is really all about? Last week, John Lott (More Guns, Less Crime) told
Laura Ingraham that he knew the putative President, Barack H. Obama, at
the University of Chicago. While there, the two ran into one another:

The first time I ever met him, I went, introduced myself,
he said, “Oh, you’re the gun guy.” He said to me, “I don’t believe
people should be able to own guns.”

There you have it! Judge it so! Is Operation Fast and Furious a throw-down operation? Or does it prove that the country needs more gun control?

    Make no mistake about it. Fast and Furious was all about throwing down weapons across the border, and then saying, "There! You see! Americans contribute to bloodshed in Mexico? Stop clinging to your guns and give them up, for..."

    No, I won't say that. For it wouldn't be for God's sake. It would be for Obama's sake.

    Obama once said, "I don't think people should be able to own guns." And that means *anybody*, except an LEO or an active-duty military service member. Fast and Furious was bout making an excuse for gun control in the USA, *and* the UN Arms Trade Treaty. The problem: Fast and Furious succeeded too well. People died.

    We need less gun control and more permits to carry. I still have not heard a reason for all the gun sales. Are they trying to bring sown the government in mexico?

    Without testimony from Holder, the report isn't worth the paper it's printed on. The mastermind of this little fiasco HAD to be at or near the top of the chain of command. The Issa report looks like a Reader's Digest version of the Warren Commission.

    As the poll states, five "small fry" are clearly named in the report. This is nowhere near a conclusion, but there are now 5 people with a powerful incentive to start talking. Make some deals, offer immunity from prosecution, and see who wants to help reel in a big fish.

    One good thing about "small fry" is that they tend to be career bureaucrats, not appointed by or aligned with either party. For better or worse, they do what they are told to do.

    It is important to press the issue before election day. Otherwise, Obama will pardon everyone on his way out the door in January.

    F&F; was planed to be a diversion for the DOJ. It immediately got away from the great Marxist Leaders and if it were not for the murder of 100s of Mexican Citizens as well as an unknown amount of Americans it would have a little humor to it. Holder should already be in the slammer today. He has had enough time to comply.

    Top down operation clearly intended to yield compliance to gun confiscation, bans and control. Heartless, dictator-like thugs at the top have no qualms about: 1st: stonewalling, hiding information, ignoring subpoenas, lying etc......but if that doesn't get it...toss a bunch of lower tier guys under the bus. Always need a fall guy (or five) As usual..trying to control guns by hook or by crook. I think I know who the crooks are.

    Fast n Furious was a botched effort to ram a gun ban down our throats but they didn't pass the small arms treaty cuz the Obama knows that would be the end of his regime and political career I would love to see 24hour surveillance efforts on The Obama he's the one that needs to be watched

    Cannot have been "well-meant" when it was engineered by Vidkun 0bama and Eric Hoodlum -- as well, Aurora shootings were part of it (answers how Holmes got the weapons he did) to divert attention after they got caught!

    It is about tyranny which Vidkun 0bama's handlers wish to impose upon this country.

    So what happens to Holders contempt charge and Obama's covering up his involvement with his executive maneuvering?

    I saw a tweet that I think came through today - maybe yesterday that said is anyone watching Fast and Furious - Holder just blew it or something to that effect. Does anyone know what that might have been about?

    Fast and furious was a mess created by this Administration who refuses to acknowledge the mistake or the death of an innocent man in the incident. Fast and Furious had no protocols in place with the Mexican officials like the Bush did with Wide Receiver; which had controls in place to prevent the incidents that have occurred with Fast and Furious and the recent Attorney General.

    F & F was about much more than skewing the stats.

    Libs are prone to overlook things done by other Libs because they serve the overall agenda.
    This weapons trafficking was either supposed to be kept under the radar or at the most, just overlooked because it would advance the lib agenda of a gun ban.

    With the death of 2 Federal Special Agents it became impossible to sweep under the rug.
    BP Agent, Brian Terry, and ICE Agent, ____ I forget his name (my apologies).

    If a FFL dealer had done this on his or her own, they would never breathe outside of a federal prison again in this lifetime.

    In spite of his ranting, Calderone was in on this from the beginning; as were Obama, Hillary, and Janet. Otherwise how could they all be talking about American guns fueling the drug war before the operation began?

    That is 4 of the 5 that should have been indicted.
