Operation gun runner, fast and furious

Last February the U.S. extradited the son of one of the most powerful cartel leaders in Mexico to stand trial in Chicago for cocaine trafficking. The capture of Vicente Zambada-Niebla, son of Sinaloa cartel leader Ismail "El Mayo" Zambada Garcia, is the DOJ’s highest-profile catch in years and a nominal drug war victory. But in July, Zambada turned the tables on his captors by claiming that he had “public authority” to traffic cocaine into the U.S. over a span of five years in exchange for providing intelligence on his rivals. For nearly two months the Justice Department declined to comment, fueling speculation that “Operation Fast and Furious,” a gun-smuggling operation conducted by the U.S. Attorney’s office in Phoenix, was part of a trend of state-sanctioned law-breaking. The DOJ’s eventual response, filed September 11, did little to assuage those concerns. Prosecutors admitted that Zambada’s lawyer in Mexico had been a confidential informant for the DEA, supplying intel that the Sinaloa cartel had gathered on its competitors to U.S. law enforcement. Prosecutors also admitted that Zambada’s lawyer had in fact arranged a meeting between his client and the DEA in 2009, but that the meeting was supposed to have been cancelled at the last minute.
“The agents who met with defendant were expressly ordered by the highest ranking DEA official in Mexico not to even meet with (Zambada-Niebla), and no official with actual authority, namely the United States Attorney General or a United States Attorney, authorized agents to promise defendant immunity,” the filing read.
If that claim sounds familiar, it’s because we’ve heard it before. Attorney General Eric Holder’s second reaction to Operation Fast and Furious (after first claiming that the allegations couldn’t possibly be true) was that the actions taken by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and the U.S. Attorney’s office in Phoenix couldn’t possibly have been sanctioned by the higher-ups at the Justice Department.

Operation Fast and Furious Is Just the Tip of the Iceberg

If you can lose your blind loyalties to party, ideology and the State in general and be willing to look, the whole drug cartel mess in Mexico has and always has had a US Gov't stinch to it all. Study the CIA and covert defense community in regards to south of the border drug activity and a very different picture from the Ministry of Truth propaganda will begin to emerge. And Obama's not the cause but rather just the latest actor in the continuing political play.

House Oversight Committee Releases Documents Showing Holder Received At Least 5 Memos On “Fast & Furious”…
And yet Obama just claimed Holder knew nothing about “Fast and Furious.”
(Beltway Confidential) — Attorney General Eric Holder received at least five briefing memos about operation Fast and Furious, which runs contrary to what he told Congressional investigators in sworn testimony.

The memos were released today by House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.
Fast and Furious was a program run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that allowed thousands of guns to “walk” into Mexico, where they fell into the hands of drug lords — several of the guns were found at the scene of the murder of a U.S. border agent.
