How does clandestine U.S. Mexican policy relate to casino attack?

As long as that policy remains in shadows, as long as stonewalling on “Project Gunwalker” continues, answers to questions like which agencies and departments were involved--to what extent, for what purposes, and how high up in the administration knowledge and direction of operations went--will evade discovery.

And perpetrators will evade justice. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes blood seeping through a stone wall. Lots of it.

Let's face the facts. The whole investigation of "Project Gunwalker" is over. There is nothing that anyone can do about the stonewalling!! We have been shown by our current government just how powerless we truly are.

This boils down to the one finger salute from the White House.

You evidently know a lot more about this than I do then.

Okay, so what can be done to force the information from the hand of the government???

If the necessary information is not forthcoming then it's game over.

This is no different than any other government scandal. One can only proceed so far up the ladder before the PTB reaches down with a saw and cuts the ladder off at that point.

Odd. Today's Chicago Tribune has President Calderon blaming the attack on corrupt Mexican officials and the U.S. for allowing the cross-border shipments of guns and for allowing demand for the illegal drugs.

"Lashing out at corrupt officials in Mexico and "insatiable" U.S. demand for drugs for fomenting the violence, Calderon urged Congress to stamp out drug consumption and stop illegal trafficking of weapons across the border into Mexico.

"We're neighbors, we're allies, we're friends, but you are also responsible," a somber and angry Calderon said to the United States in a speech after meeting his security advisers."

Since this was a grenade attack followed by gasoline fueled arson, it is odd that Calderon would mention illegal cross-border shipment of weapons, as there is no significant non-military, non-police legal trade in live grenades in the U.S. Just as Mexico is responsible for stopping weapons from crossing its' borders, the U.S. is responsible for stopping drugs from entering the U.S.

When you have no effective control of your situation, it is easier to blame some "other" or "boogeyman" for your problems than to fix your own problems. The Devil made me do it, I swear!
