If I offended you, I apologize. I certainly didn't intend to, so I'm sorry you took it that way.It's obvious that you're reduced to personal attacks so this will be my last response to you.
You must have missed the first few hearings. My claim is not without citation, as that is precisely what the whistleblowers said. That they were told, under no uncertain terms, to let the guns go, when they KNEW there were no means involved to track the guns.I never said that there wasn't a cover up and that the BATFE did an incredibly stupid thing. But to hang this on one man who didn't even initiate the project is ridiculous. You're using uncorroborated statements like "We know F&F guns were lost on purpose." without citation and repeating them as fact.
AKA: Lost on purpose.
Since you are obviously an obama supporter, please don't make references to dishonest politics. The specious attacks on Bush's admin persist to this day.Just because Speaker Boehner's press spokesman said that the WH use of an EP declaration "implies that White House officials were either involved in the ‘Fast and Furious' operation or the cover-up that followed. The administration has always insisted that wasn't the case. Were they lying, or are they now bending the law to hide the truth?" Doesn't make it fact. Posing a theory as a question is misleading at best, dishonest politics at worst.
As far as: Should Holder be held responsible?"
OF COURSE he should. He's the head of the DOJ. Another famous Democrat has advice for ol' Eric,...
"The Buck Stops Here" as old Harry would say. And I'm sure he'd tell obama the same.
Hiding holder's complicity behind obama's claim of executive privilege is ridiculous. And obama's use of executive privilege smacks of his own involvement as well.
Please remember, that this is the man that claimed he would run "The Most Transparent Administration in American History."
Doesn't sound like transparency at the DOJ. It sounds like a cover-up. One that the admin is directly involved in.
And we wonder why he just promised to stop prosecuting Mexican students and workers. It sounds like he trying to make it up to them for giving guns to those that would kill their relatives back home.
Want to compare deaths due to lies by admin? Sure! Look up the Gulf of Tonkin incident,... You don't stand a chance with that one. We can lay every death of a Viet Nam vet after 1964 at the feet of LBJ over that one.I'm touched by your regard for human life but I seriously doubt that you want to begin comparing body counts due to government lies by Republicans as compared to Democrats, do you? If you want to do something to protect our Law Enforcement officers, do something about illegal, stolen and criminal straw purchases here that killed 72 officers in the US in 2011.
Be careful what you ask for.
Or FDR's refusal to acknowledge the coming attack on Pearl Harbor?
So you want to lay all the domestically-straw purchased guns at the feet of republicans? How so?
And please tell us all how more, and more-restrictive gun laws would stop those purchases?
And then please tell us how many legal purchasers you are prepared to throw under the bus to accomplish your goals.
Because it sounds like every one of us.
