The Fast and Furious fiasco has been down played by the media. It turns out Mexico didn’t know about it, or so they claim. Mexican Atty. Gen. Marisela Morales, claims she discovered about this operation, through news reports!
REPORTING FROM MEXICO CITY — The United States government has yet to brief Mexican authorities on the failed Fast and Furious gun-running operation that led to scores of American weapons being smuggled purposefully into a raging drug war, Mexico’s top law enforcement official told The Times.
“At no time did we know or were we made aware that there might have been arms trafficking permitted,” said Atty. Gen. Marisela Morales in comments from a recent interview with Times reporters published Tuesday. “In no way would we have allowed it, because it is an attack on the safety of Mexicans.”
Morales said she first learned about the program — which U.S. officials contend was meant to trace weapons up cartel ranks to top capos — through news reports.
Mexico’s attorney general also said the U.S. has not apologized for the violence inflicted by guns smuggled into Mexico under the watch of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in the secret program based out of the ATF’s field office in Arizona. Morales characterized the operation’s main tactic, letting guns “walk” into Mexico, if, she said, that is what actually happened, as a potential “betrayal.”
We go from arming anti-Communist guerillas in the 80’s to Narco-Terrorists. Obama and Holder have blood on their hands. The sad part is, they may get away with it!
