ATF Planted Guns to ensnare Drug Cartel

Quote:
On Dec. 14, 2010, Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was gunned down. Dodson got the bad news from a colleague.

According to Dodson, "They said, 'Did you hear about the border patrol agent?' And I said, 'Yeah.' And they said 'Well it was one of the Fast and Furious guns.' There's not really much you can say after that."

Two assault rifles ATF had let go nearly a year before were found at Terry's murder.
This is a developing story.

It's time to stop concocting hair brained schemes for passive border patrolling.

The time is now to man the border with the military and put an end to this garbage.

Now it's coming to light that the US allowed guns from this country to go south of the border in some scheme to catch a drug cartel.

Under the watchful authority of the ATF!

How do they allow a cartel to buy 2,500 automatic weapons right under their noses!

OK OBAMA! You're on NOTICE for this one... some heads need to start rolling!

We knew this was going to blow up a year ago because we were discussing it here on this forum. Look at it now!

Quote:
President Obama has invoked executive privilege over previously undisclosed documents pertaining to the Justice Department’s “Fast & Furious” program, which allowed a cache of weapons to make their way across the Mexican border. The idea behind the program was as follows: ATF agents would give Mexican drug cartels access to weaponry, which, in turn, would allow them to track the gun runners. However, things got a little dicey when one of the weapons was used in the fatal shooting of a US border patrol officer.
