He had a program that was similar but more control called Operation wildfire not sure. IT did not result in any border partrol agents getting killed or anything but obvioulsy Holder did it only cause Bush did it too. <br /><br />Nevermind that Fast and Furius occured under his tenure. Funny how Bush never had any power to do anything while he was President but now that he is out Barack can't do anything because of what he did four years ago.Individualisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005025873042230314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-83814221493716014152012-06-22T14:40:57.651-04:002012-06-22T14:40:57.651-04:00T-Rav: And once again we see the irony which enti...T-Rav: And once again we see the irony which entirely escapes the Holder/Obama crowd. The Bush administration did work in concert with the Mexican government rather than keeping it in the dark. It also managed to trace most of the weapons and affect arrests as intended. But a few of the weapons disappeared in the process, and a "few" was too much for the Bush administration to tolerate. How could the hapless Holder not know that if a few guns being run and a few guns being lost would be a disaster when a whole lot of guns were run and a whole lot of guns went missing? This was either grossly negligent or intentional, and either way Holder should be dismissed. And also either way, as Harry Truman said, the buck stops at the President's desk. He put this hopelessly incompetent political hack into the job of America's "top cop," and if he had any decency at all, he would 'fess up and get rid of him. But they are two of a kind, and it's very likely that Holder was acting with Obama's knowledge and perhaps his enthusiastic approval. The assertion of executive privilege only drives that point home. Which brings us full circle back to the big question: "What is he hiding?"LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-72212872601661456412012-06-22T14:30:19.649-04:002012-06-22T14:30:19.649-04:00Yes, and let's not forget, the Bush administra...Yes, and let's not forget, the Bush administration's gunrunning operations were done in communication with Mexican authorities. The Obama version was carried out while deliberately leaving said authorities in the dark the entire time.

He also strikes me as the type who will wait for Obama's defeat, then write a "tell-all" book about his experiences and the deviousness of the Obama team which led him down the primrose path. Like John Dean's book <i>Blind Ambition</i> about the Nixon administration, he will paint himself as complicit but only as a naive victim of evil forces. Then, like David Brock of <i>Media Matters</i>, he will turn his coat and seek funding from the other side to advance his own blind ambition.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-88159570092066423922012-06-22T12:20:29.995-04:002012-06-22T12:20:29.995-04:00Bev: I caught that, and I'm sure most of the ...Bev: I caught that, and I'm sure most of the American people who watched that press conference caught it as well.

I'm going to risk a prediction. If past patterns hold, this scandal has only begun to grow, and Obama's assertion of executive privilege is the watershed moment. Particularly apt is the Watergate parallel. It started out with a small news item about a burglary, and ended up bringing down a presidency. Even the <i>Washington Post</i>, a key player in Watergate, is starting to question the President's motives. But I don't expect the <i>Post</i> to be the major player in this one. The MSM will be overly solicitous of the President's position (probably with only partial support for it), but now we have the internet, the blogs, and Fox News. I don't think there's sufficient time to bring this President down during his term in office, but this betrayal of the public trust may be the straw that breaks the came's back with independents and Democrats of conscience at the polls in November.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-91221883210902375032012-06-22T11:53:18.288-04:002012-06-22T11:53:18.288-04:00T-Rav: Yeah.

As this develops, the reactions are more mixed than people would expect if they haven't seen those prior scandals. Eventually, though, the inevitable question comes up, and that's when the general sentiment coalesces: "What are they hiding?" The more they try to cover up and make excuses, the more people ask the question from the other two uproars: "What did Holder know, and when did he know it?"
