#1 "And, candidly, it's just not right."
Di Fi inadvertantly repeats her shrinks mental evaluation report.

#2 Doubletalk and Doublethink. It's always 1984 in the Democratic Party.

#3 Actually, Di Fi has finally said outloud what the real agenda of F and F was...to make the gun laws appear so lax that the Dems could ram through comprehensive gun control.

It never was about tracking Narcoterrorists or locating Cartels, it was about making a travesty of our gun control laws to create the illusion that comprehensive gun control is necessary. Most of the weaponry used by the Narcs in Mexico are not available for sale in the US. The F and F program creates the ILLUSION that most of the weapons came from the US. Most of the really heavy stuff comes from China and Cuba. Of course we don't even want to mention the Al-Qaeda/Quds/Hizbullah connections to the Narcs in Mexico.

#4 Yeah, and Finestein has the solution (for her version of a totalitarian nightmare). Collect everyone's guns. Washington, NYC, Chicago, and all those other Democratic-controlled strongholds have done so well at being crime-free. Right? Jeebus these people are disgusting.

#5 While the guns were busy walking the Dems were busy hollering about how most of the weaponry captured in Messico came from the U.S.

Has anybody heard that song lately?

#7 Suggestion for a new graphic for this kind of story: A spinning top.

#8 Mexico's Gun Supply and the 90 Percent Myth
As we discussed in a previous analysis, the 90 percent number was derived from a June 2009 U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) report to Congress on U.S. efforts to combat arms trafficking to Mexico (see external link).

According to the GAO report, some 30,000 firearms were seized from criminals by Mexican authorities in 2008. Of these 30,000 firearms, information pertaining to 7,200 of them (24 percent) was submitted to the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) for tracing. Of these 7,200 guns, only about 4,000 could be traced by the ATF, and of these 4,000, some 3,480 (87 percent) were shown to have come from the United States.

This means that the 87 percent figure relates to the number of weapons submitted by the Mexican government to the ATF that could be successfully traced and not from the total number of weapons seized by Mexican authorities or even from the total number of weapons submitted to the ATF for tracing. In fact, the 3,480 guns positively traced to the United States equals less than 12 percent of the total arms seized in Mexico in 2008 and less than 48 percent of all those submitted by the Mexican government to the ATF for tracing.

#9 Let me see if I get this:

Dianne thinks that the cartels could have just wandered up here, loaded up on 50-cals, sniper rifles, assault rifles, tanks, aircraft carriers, etc., that BO et. al. didn't do anything that the cartels couldn't have done for themselves, and therefore it's not so bad. Of course, this leads to the conclusion that BO, Holder, and the rest of his cabinet and czars are qualified to run for a second term and continue with the drunken spending orgy that they have embarked on.

As a side-effect, this situation can be used to further tighten gun control legislation.

And since tightening gun control legislation in this case would be the usual emotional reaction, doesn't this make F&F a crisis that our rulers all Americans are feeling?

#10 She also said, back during the Clinton gun ban, "Mr. and Mrs. America, If we had the votes we would have made you turn them all in."

#11 This argument could only appeal to the mental midgets already sufficiently confounded to have voted for her in the first place.

#12 This statement was made with the media in mind. Now the media can 'report' on F&F by declaring that lax gun control laws is the reason for it (A congresscreature said so!) and the reason that agent ws killed - never mentioning that it was Holder and Obama who sent the guns to the Mexican Cartels.

#13 DiFi does NOT like guns. Well...for us little people anyway.

#14 DiFi does not like guns, but her security detail has some, I am sure, and that is ok with her. So what is good for thee is not good for ye.

BATF should be beaten up because of what they do.
