Obama Orders Launched Fast and Furious
Project
Gun Runner (Fast and Furious) was launched under the orders of
President Barack Obama with the knowledge of Attorney General Eric
Holder. Deputy Attorney General David Ogden announced the Obama
Administration's new and aggressive 'comprehensive plan' on March, 24,
2009. The plan was aimed at disrupting gun trafficking between the
United States and Mexico.

(Hillary
Clinton heads the State Department that oversees the program called
'U.S. Commercial Sales,' which licenses and regulates gun sales to
foreign entities.)
Since Barack Obama took office in 2009, the
commonly-accepted mantra of the Administration, and many within the
major news organizations, is that the violence associated with Mexican
drug cartels is fueled by guns that came from the United States due to
its 'lax gun control laws.' Indeed, the dangerous 'Zetas' drug cartel
obtained weapons in the United States for their criminal activity both
in Mexico and throughout the American Southwest.
However, the
manner in which the Zetas obtained those weapons directly contradicts
the official Administration stance on the consequences of lax gun
control laws.
The Zetas obtained their weapons through a
little-publicized program implemented by the U.S. State Department
called 'U.S. Direct Commercial Sales.' The program was intended to
regulate the sale of U.S. firearms to other countries, and a direct
commercial sale of a firearm requires an export license.
However,
as it has been demonstrated repeatedly with the Project Gunwalker
Scandal at the ATF, honorable intentions often go terribly awry,
particularly when widespread corruption infects a multiplicity of
government agencies
Further, one of the leaders of the Zetas
cartel insists that ALL of their weapons were obtained in the U.S., many
of which were sold to them by the United States government, according
to a direct quote provided by the Washington Times. The evidence
strongly suggests that this is true. The cartel did not obtain weapons
due to lax U.S. gun control laws but due to the activity of a program
operated by the State Department. And as it has been repeatedly
reported, the guns that were not bought through the government program
were likely supplied to the cartel by the illegal scheme perpetrated by
the ATF.
According to published reports, the cartel bought many
of their weapons in Dallas through U.S. Direct Commercial Sales, which
begs the question, why would a program operating under the auspices of
the State Department sell firearms to one of the most dangerous drug
cartels in Mexico? In addition, it just so happens that the airfield in
Fort Worth from which the Zetas fly their guns southward is the same
airport used by the DEA--the Drug Enforcement Administration. Is this
mere coincidence or an indication of even more sinister activity by an
agency of the U.S. government?
Another major issue arises with
regard to the nature of Direct Commercial Sales purchases. The program
is set up so that the sale of U.S. guns to foreign entities involve
direct negotiations with the governments of those countries purchasing
the weapons. The description of the program specifically states that it
regulates the sale of U.S. firearms to other countries or international
organizations.
How, then, did a drug cartel purchase weapons
through this program when it is neither an international organization
nor a government?
Reports indicate that the cartel set up a
company in Mexico that negotiated the sales with U.S. firearms
manufacturers who are regulated and controlled by U.S. Direct Commercial
Sales.

Fast & Furious: IRS, DEA, and ICE Involved
Human
Events notes a heated exchange in yesterday’s House Oversight Committee
hearings into Operation Fast & Furious, between Special Agent in
Charge William Newell and Rep. Patrick Meehan (R., Penn.). After initial
evasions from Newell, Congressman Meehan gets him onto the ropes,
eventually forcing him to admit that the ATF and FBI were not the only
federal bodies involved, but that the IRS, DEA, and ICE played roles
also. “Who’s left to implicate?” asks John Hayward:
