Iran-Contra was about arming freedom fighters in Nicaragua. Gunwalker is about arming the drug cartels in Mexico. It had a secondary purpose: disarming the American people.
Gunwalker was part of a new strategy to persuade the public of the absolute necessity of federal gun registration…and ultimately, a tight new regime of federal gun control.
The same people in the Administration who were constantly claiming that the cartels were being supplied by American weapons – were the ones supplying them with American weapons!
Prior to this scandal coming out, we were starting to see stories everywhere in the news about how easy it was for Mexicans to get guns from the US. Little did we know that it was easy because the ATF was making it so. Notice how the Democrats and the MSM have quit talking about this issue now that the scandal has come out?
Team Obama is claiming that Gunrunner was an “attempt to develop enough gun-running evidence to bring down a cartel…” . I don't get it. If the Mexican government hasn’t been able to shut down the cartels by prosecuting them for (a) illegal drug sales; (b) kidnapping; (c) murder; (d) assault; (e) terroristic threats; (f) bribery; ... then there’s NO WAY that bringing gun-running charges against the cartels will make the job any easier.
Is this Hope, Change, smart diplomacy, or bringing narco-terrorists into the American judicial system? What?
On this one, Congress needs to bring to bear every power it has to uncover the truth and bring those responsible to justice.

I'm sorry that the quality of our government has fallen so low. I hope the guilty can't hide.
This is like the Three Stooges go to Washington. The only thing is in this movie real people die.
