Absolutely. Wide Receiver the ATF worked with Mexican authorities and were supposed to track and seize the weapons previous to their use. When it was found that the bad guys knew and avoided the tracking it was shut down immediately by both sides. Fast and furious was nothing at all like this, the Mexican authorities had no knowledge and no attempt was even supposed to be made to track the weapons at all.
Some agents, breaking their orders, put some Radio Schack tracking devices onto some of the guns, but they weren't strong enough and the placement twisted the antenna making them even less affective, however the orders were to just let them have the dang things and we'd find out where they'd been when we found them at crime scenes...
At the point they started to be found at crime scenes we had our illustrious Sec. of State standing with the Mexican President and blaming the lax US laws on the fact that many of the guns found at these murder sites were US weapons. Only later did we find out that it was because the ATF was running a program in at least 7 cities dumping guns into Mexico directly into the hands of some of the worst criminals that exist...
The "plan" was to "find" the guns at "crime scenes"... Can anybody here tell me what kind of crimes drug syndicates in Mexico commit with this kind of weapon? I'll give you a hint, it isn't robbery it starts with an "s" and it ends with "laughter"... The plan was to let them kill people so we could then "track" who had them? That's not a plan, that's criminal negligence at the felony level (and in the US that is felony murder).
When Mexico found out about it they were PISSED, as any nation would be. We armed the very people who were killing their cops, their soldiers, and fighting an all out war with the government and slaughtering citizens not because we thought they'd overthrow and create a better government, not because we thought the Mexican government were tyrants... nope, it appears we did this so that somebody could blame our laws and create more laws to restrict the weapons themselves rather than just ask the ATF to do what they are supposed to rather than exactly opposite of what they are supposed to do...
Now we're at a point where we see the Congress asking for (as I said in an earlier post) a specific universe of documents while the head law enforcement agent gives them lies in letters, blames others, a different set of documents than the ones subpoenaed, retracts his letter because he "accidentally" lied in it, and finally begs and obtains the Presidents blessing to claim executive privilege because finding out they may have asked to wiretap somebody will apparently be a shocking revelation to the criminal community and they'd stop using their phones....
Hundreds murdered, including an agent (armed with a bean bag gun because that's what they have to shoot with first) of one of our own law enforcement agencies.
With all of that happening they have literally tried to tell you that working with Mexico, what Bush did, is the same thing as arming their worst criminals without their knowledge so we can find the guns later at "crime scenes" (slaughters) and that the AG has been only honest and helpful and given them everything yet still needs privilege to hide behind? This isn't supposed to be used in place of the Fifth.
