Political spin in reporting generally annoys me. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Fast_and_FuriousAll of these sting operations were certainly ill-advised and have had very negative results that are highlighted by the eventual "Fast and Furious" problem under the Obama Administration but it didn't really start with the Obama Administration and it's doubtful that President Obama even knew about was going on at the Arizona Field Office of the ATF. Field Office operations are generally well below the scrutiny of the President. Of course Fox News puts an additional political spin on this story by wrongfully claiming that Fast and Furious was responsible for the murders occurring with firearms that "walked" into Mexico under Fast and Furious. The reason behind the murders is the War on Drugs that created the Mexican Drug Cartels. If it wasn't for the black market trade in illegal drugs these drug cartels wouldn't exist at all. If we end the War on Drugs then we end the violence associated with it. Ironically "Republicans" are the first to state that when murder is committed with firearms that we can't blame the firearm for the murder.... unless it makes the Obama Administration look bad.
