Your lack of knowledge and your disdain for anything with an R next to it is showing.

These 2 programs are no where the same.

If you believe they are why don't you post the details of the 2 programs.

Sure, it's all about politics. That's why Issa has stalled Holder, to obtain incriminating documents that would cost Obama his re-election. If Issa had demanded those documents last year, there'd be no controversy this year. If Issa had just asked for the truth last year, nobody would be asking questions this year.

Issa did request these documents last year

Sigh. Really? Again?

We need a sticky showing the the difference between Operation Wide Receiver and Fast and Furious.

White House Falsely Blames Bush-Era Wide Receiver For Fast And Furious - Investors.com

Quote:
Dubbed "Operation Wide Receiver," the Bush-era operation was run out of Tucson between 2006 and 2007, ending before Bush left office and before Fast and Furious began under Obama in 2009. The differences between it and Fast and Furious are vast, starting with the fact that Wide Receiver produced no dead bodies.

I can't see the humor in a young man's death. Sorry, don't share the same twisted humor the left does.

Under Bush, far more competent a President than Obama, nobody died, we got the guns back. If this was such a horrible program why did the Obama camp continue it? I wonder if they did not set Brians "accident' up and hope for gun control. Would not surprise me at all. What oh what is in the documents?

Actually, no, we didn't get them all back. 12 went missing and that's what had them end the program.
As far as F&F, I think there's still 1000 or more still unaccounted for.

Colbert will surely do that just as soon as his writers figure out how to do it.

Did Wide Receiver really precede Fast and Furious and the Dems just go ahead from it? I know the answer and I really do wonder if you do.
