And in Mexico
Feds didn’t just allow guns in. They allowed drugs out:
U.S. federal agents allegedly allowed the Sinaloa drug cartel to traffic several tons of cocaine into the United States in exchange for information about rival cartels, according to court documents filed in a U.S. federal court.
Why, it’s like they’re trying to encourage the drug war.
Meanwhile, they canceled Newell as attache to Mexico.

So the government runs guns and drugs.
Do you think they sponsor shylocks and bookies, too?

“in exchange for information about rival cartels”
Who are all still in operations with no major arrests or seizure of contraband. Same goes with the guns they were running into Mexico to “build a case” against the cartels.
Sounds to me like the feds were just wetting their beaks and making things worse so they could wet their beaks more…

Something tells me that this Mob of “Chicago Gangsters” in D.C. decided to back the Drug Cartel that the current Mexican “El Presidente” gets his money from, similar to the U.S. backing Hamid Kharzai and the Heroin Trade his family controls, for example. This allows several things to occur: A) Drugs continue to Flow North, and if the opposition gangs are eliminated, they would flow more easily, and the Gringos could be charged more, but more money can also go into the pockets of those “Chicago Gangsters” B) By letting Guns go South, a “Straw Man” is built, allowing the Anti-Gunnies Political Rhetoric to Scream “We need MORE Gun Control!” And we KNOW this White House will be issuing Imperial Decrees that are Unconstitutional and Illegal. Just look at the BATFEIEIO Edict about Multiple Gun Sales in the Border States from a few days ago. And that’s just the Start. God Forbid that the Drug Flow to the Inner Cities be cut off, and all those “Voters” turn against the Anointed One.

If you look at the dates involved….it happened under Bush.
Of course, Obama is famous for continuing Bush’s policies…..

I think it’s important to note that, unless I’m reading the article incorrectly, these are currently only allegations made by an accused drug trafficker as part of his defense, and that there’s nothing to corroborate his story… yet. That’s not to say that they aren’t true, aren’t believable, or that federal agencies have any real credibility either, though. It’ll be interesting to see where this goes.

“Of course, Obama is famous for continuing Bush’s policies…..” –Cargosquid,
You’re correct, Cargosquid. Everything the powers that be want are being continued by Obama: illegal, unconstitutional wars, police-state apparatus, “free trade” sellouts, open borders… And he’s even getting some things done that Bush wanted and didn’t get. Example: Bush worked to get Mexican trucks on U.S. highways according to NAFTA dictates and Obama has recently gotten that done…
