#3 If you are talking about Wide Receiver? No comparison.... Agents had some methods to tracked the weapons.... using tracking devices in the guns, over head planes circling......

Walkers knew airplanes had to go into refuel.. others? well some of the trackers when implanted, just didn't work. The plan was good, the execution didn't work.

Years later, the same ATF agent in charge of Wide Receiver, begins F & F knowing that Wide Receiver was a disaster.

So, to make it better, let's just NOT attempt to track the guns. Yea... good one.... See where they turn up. We look good. Last time, the buyers tricked our trackers, we looked bad. This time? Oh.... just let them go.

And even better, let's have some of our ATF agents purchase the guns! WOW...

With Wide Receiver, there was focus to track the guns, as inapt as it was ..... In F & F, agents have testified.... there was no "tracking" of the guns..... and even were told to "stand down" when wanting to move in.

Now, pass some more of that escargot since it's on your bill...

#4 Isn't it time for another MSM hit piece on Rep. Issa? Not like the first one worked, but still...

#5 Yes. THe MSM response has been to write articles about Issa, not about Holder.

It's like they report a narrative and withhold real news.

#7 Ok, so lets go with the government's "tracking" story. My question is, where is the analysis? Who got the weapons? Where DID they finally end up? The 5-W's please, and in detail. (these facts may tell us a bit more about the project than we may want to know)
