Yes, but it is much worse than Iran Contra. These guns were intentionally allowed to 'walk," and ATF agents warned their bosses that people would be killed. Their bosses were not just stupid--it was criminal manslaughter and possibly treason.
And agents are coming forward, blowing the whistle. Senior Agent Dodson is testifying that this policy goes up at least as high as Holder's Justice Dept. They will be made to supply their records.
"House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) said in a national interview that he believes the Justice Department is covering up information relevant to a congressional investigation of an operation in which the department knowingly allowed intermediaries of Mexican drug cartels to purchase guns at licensed firearms dealers in the United States and then get away without being arrested or the guns being retrieved. Issa pointed to two things he says indicates a Justice Department cover up. First, he cites a letter that Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich, head of the Justice Department's office of legislative affairs, sent to Sen.
Charles Grassley (R-IA), the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee on February 4, 2011. Issa characterizes that letter as a "lie." Secondly, Issa says the Justice Department made excessive and unjustifiable omissions in documents it provided to his committee.
The entire "grandiose" operation began in 2009 and ended in early 2011 with ONLY the indictment of 20 individuals on relatively minor charges for illegal gun purchases!" Now, is that what Mr. Obama meant by "change?" Officials are admitting that these guns,which our government allowed to "walk," were used in at least 150 shootings.
Those of you who are more concerned about promoting your political candidate -aren't you at all concerned that your federal government, charged to protect, has instead been an ally to criminals? The key question for the Obama administration is: "What did you know, and when did you know it?" Congress needs the records--we can't believe a word they say anymore.
No. The Iranians never came over here and killed innocent americans like the drug cartels did. Obama should be removed from office.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
