PHOENIX - Weapons linked to a questionable government strategy are turning up in crimes in Valley neighborhoods.
For months the ABC15 Investigators have been searching through police reports and official government documents. We’ve discovered assault weapons linked to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ controversial "Fast and Furious" case strategy have turned up at crime scenes in Glendale and Phoenix communities.
More guns sales ineptly handled by BATFE are showing up at crime scenes on this side of the border. The story and the reporter repeatedly talk about this as a "strategy".
This was hardly a "strategy". At best it was a tactic, so poorly thought out and ineptly implemented as to assure its failure from the beginning. The architects of this clusterfumble are trying desperately to cover their tracks and find a scapegoat they can blame this on. Remember when the White House couldn't remember or find out who hired Craig Livingstone ? Good luck finding the fingerprints of anyone high enough up the food chain to be truly responsible for the "Fast and Furious Foul-up" on this
In other news, the BATFE plans to let children play with matches as part of a "strategic" plan to watch children get hurt. Eric Holder could not be reached for comment.
Update: There's a Petition to Fire Holder here.

This has turned out to be a "Real Men Of Genius" operation. Did they not think that something like this would happen? First Brian Terry is murdered, then a Mexican official (a prosecutor, I believe), and now guns are showing up in your average, garden variety crimes in the US. Holder says he won't let Melson testify, so that pretty much says he's mightily worried about something. I doubt we will ever know the whole truth about this or how high up this actually goes.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine that something like this, along with its international implications, could have missed at least the attention if not the approval of Eric Holder.
ReplyDeleteLot of CYA going on in the oxymoronic Obama Justice Department.
