Here's how this works. The money for Fast and Furious had to be approved by someone at the top. You don't just write you own check at the bottom. Secondly, this is just a matter of throwing a few people at the bottom to the sharks to protect those at the top from being eaten. Ergo, you get your full retirement for taking one for the team. Lastly, no Field Agent dreamed up this ridiculous scheme.

The money for F&F came from Stimulus funding so who would approve that?

Every agent along the border knows how dangerous this would be. Only some idiot in Washington with a hidden agenda to trump up the need for more gun control would even consider something this stupid.

Now who could that be? Who in Washington has had a long time goal of increasing gun control and subverting the Second Amenement? Let's see. How about Barack Obama and Eric Holder? Yep! That's the rock all these snakes are hiding under.

This is not a mystery. It's crystal clear how this started and who's responsible for it.

and a very necessary ingredient in this batch of poison is the preservation of retirement benefits for those thrown to the sharks, otherwise they might talk. we must preserve the people in power, so they can continue to "fundamentally transform" america.

Precisely so. The linchpin of the Bil of Rights is the Second Amendment. No free people should or will accept compromise of this God given and Constitutionally affirmed right. And if these bozos think some outside, flakey group like the UN should have any say whatspever about our tax-paying citizens' rights, and oif they establish or try to implement anything that curtails that innate right, then I fear for the outcome and civil disobedience. Those who seek to curtail what cannot rightfully be reduced or eliminated overstep the Constitution and merit no respect for such laws.
