Operation Fast and Furious — the “botched” gun-tracking program run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives — did, in fact, deliberately allow some 2,000 high-powered weapons to be sold to Mexican drug cartel agents and then waltzed across the border and into the Mexican drug wars — just as Sen. Chuck Grassley and Rep. Darrell Issa, who are leading the congressional investigations, have charged all along. [More]So if it did what it was designed to do, and that was to deliberately allow guns to walk--why would you still characterize it as a "'botched' gun trafficking operation"?

Just replace the word "botched" (or other inappropriate word) with "exposed" in all these stories to add a dose of truth.
ReplyDeleteThat "article" actually makes my head hurt. How can the post write something like that... admitting that they all lied DOJ, ATF, DEA, etc)... but sounding like the post is defending them all the same.
ReplyDeleteI'm just in awe of the blatant disregard of any semblance of moral virtue.
I know, we shouldn't be surprised that they are all liars, both politicians and "authorized journalists", but my daddy raised me better than that. Some serious "come to Jesus" meetings need to be held all over this nation.
because we found out about it.
ReplyDeleteDavid, To me that looks like scare quotes. He's quoting someone else who called it botched and he put it in quotes to show that he doesn't believe that at all. That's what the rest of the article says. He's using the quote marks as a way to sneer at the people who keep pretending that this operation was botched.
