Agent: I was ordered to let U.S. guns into Mexico

(CBS News)

WASHINGTON - Federal agent John Dodson says what he was asked to do was beyond belief.

He was intentionally letting guns go to Mexico?

"Yes ma'am," Dodson told CBS News. "The agency was."

An Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms senior agent assigned to the Phoenix office in 2010, Dodson's job is to stop gun trafficking across the border. Instead, he says he was ordered to sit by and watch it happen.

Investigators call the tactic letting guns "walk." In this case, walking into the hands of criminals who would use them in Mexico and the United States.

If they can't prove US guns fuel Mexican violence they'll just have to make it happen on its own.

2 of these weapons were used to kill BP Agent Brian Terry in December.

Quote
Then in December, two weapons recovered at the scene of a murdered Customs and Border Protection agent, Brian Terry, were traced to the ATF operation, according to Sen.Grassley.

Our ****ing government refuses to allow the Men who protect our borders to be properly armed, yet they have no problem sending arms across the border to the enemy who have no problem using them against American Officers.

Yes, it is a shame and a disgrace.
Nappytoano should be fired and replaced with someone with common sense. The same with Obozo and the other red diaper doper baby, Eric Holder. These goons are killing this Country.

At this point, I'd pay the PLO or Islamic Jihad to take his worthless ass hostage for the next 23 months.  Boehner ought to be able to tapdance rings around 'Slow Joe' in Teh ObeyWon's absence.

Good plan and then instead of giving the ransom in taxed cash they can hold a fund drive. Then once the deficit is paid off they can pay the ransom.  :whistling:

Actually, I was kinda hoping they'd ask for us to release "political prisoners" in order to secure Teh ObeyWon's freedom.  President Palin could release a whole plane-load of the Gitmo scumbags the day she takes office - from 35,000 feet.

Meh.  Myself personally, I'd probably show them the one and only parachute, and make 'em fight to the death for it.   Then toss it off the plane ahead of the "winner".

Why yes, I AM a saadistic bastard...  :-)

obama unaware of gun smuggling operation in mexico

president numbnuts asleep at the wheel...

Quote
Obama told Univision‘s Jorge Ramos that President Felipe Calderon wasn’t informed of the operation because he — the president of the United States — wasn’t informed either. When asked whether he knew of the weapon smuggling plan, Obama responded that it is “a pretty big government” with “a lot of moving parts.”

gee, this government thingy is pretty big with all kinds of tricky moving parts and gizmos and stuff...

A leader takes charge and makes sure he is aware of everything that happens on his watch. This P.O.S. in the White House looks for excuses for his failures. Maybe if he would spend less time on the golf course or working on his ****ing basketball brackets or running off on a vacation everyother day he might get a grasp on what is going on in this Country. :banghead:

meanwhile the weapons that were sent to mexico under his watch have been implicated in the murder of a B.P. Agent and another U.S. Agent working in mexico.

**** obama and his worthless administration!!! :bird:

I got memory fade....who was it in the Obama administration at the very beginning of it said, "Don't put anything in writing".? "Plausible Deniability"

Remember someone saying that the flow of guns into Mexico was the cause of all the gun violence along the border and that "WE" needed tighter gun control laws.

It's all a liberal conspiracy. Send them guns, cause a lot of trouble, kill some people and then we get the type gun control we want. Sounds like a liberal plan to me.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

So, if a policy or operation put into effect by this administration can be directly linked to the death of an American citizen, does that citizen's family have standing to sue the POTUS and all others involved for wrongful death?  :fuelfire:
