“Near midnight, the assassins, later identified as hired guns for the Mexican cartel La Linea, broke into a one-story house and opened fire on a gathering of nearly 60 teenagers.
Citing a Mexican Army document it obtained and published, Univision reported that “[t]hree of the high caliber weapons fired that night in Villas de Salvarcar were linked to a gun tracing operation run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).”
That operation was Fast and Furious.

Univision is doing a better job exposing Obama than the US MSM…..This is journalism rather than agenda peddling and it’s good to see.
Obama and the left can’t take the Hispanic vote for granted anymore. Obama got punked by Univision last week and now THIS! I don’t think there will be many Obama campaign signs flying in the yards of Hispanics this year now that the truth is getting out.
Talk about October surprise!
S&F
Of course, there is a huge business connection there... they are, after all our "Partners in Prosperity" as the NAU was renamed. Perhaps there was political expedience in their silence...

Because of course without Holder no one in Mexican drugs cartels would have guns. And now that the ATF has stopped Fast and Furious the murders in Mexico will all stop.
Fast and Furious was a retarded ATF plan, but it certainly wasn't the aim of F&F for Mexican teenagers to be killed.
That being said, if we're gonna start a position to make it hard for everyone to get handguns and assault rifles, I'll happily sign up.

Your soooo right
Well we should just start to publicly sell arms too the cartels.
No big deal at all.
Holder didnt have nothing to do with it at all, let them kill each other and kids
with guns given to them by obama and friends.
What is "Wide Receiver"?
"Wide Receiver" is the name ATF assigned to a group of gun trafficking cases investigated out of the Tucson, Arizona office beginning in 2006. Like Fast and Furious, it was supervised by ATF Special Agent in Charge Bill Newell. Sources indicate it involved about 275 "walked" guns. According to sources who worked directly on the case, the vast majority of guns were not tracked and Mexico's government was not fully informed of the case. Apparently worried that the gunwalking tactics could be viewed as inappropriate, federal prosecutors in Arizona abandoned the case. Then, in fall of 2009, Justice Department officials decided to go ahead and prosecute the case.
uhh... and the blood on Bush's hands?
Now the operation was startedlink
On December 1, 2008, Obama announced that Holder would be his nominee for Attorney General of the United States.[28][29] Obama praised his "toughness and independence." Obama went on to say that "[Holder] is deeply familiar with the law enforcement challenges we face: from terrorism to counter-intelligence; from white-collar crime to public corruption." Holder emphasized national security as a priority if confirmed, "We can and we must ensure that the American people remain secure and that the great Constitutional guarantees that define us as a nation are truly valued."[30] He was formally nominated on January 20, 2009 and was overwhelmingly approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee on January 28 with a bipartisan vote of 17 to 2.[31][32] He was officially confirmed by the entire Senate on February 2, 2009 by a vote of 75 to 21.[33] becoming the nation's first African-American Attorney General. His installation took place on March 27, 2009 at the Lisner Auditorium of George Washington University.
Now remind me how this happened to be Bush's fault? Nine months into Holder's tenure as Attorney General? When does this administration own anything it started?
The Fast and Furious investigation was initiated in October 2009

14 dead and 12 wounded teenagers just from this one shooting. How many dozens (or hundreds?) more have been killed with weapons supplied by the ATF.
Somebody should hang for these crimes but the way Washington works these days it will end in promotions for whoever was responsible.
Disgusting, saddening and absolutely unnecessary.
More "casualties" in the endless war on drugs.
Equivalent to shooting the patient to stop a headache.
If someone does something wrong,
they just hand out executive orders like candy.
Only way these guys get in trouble is if they get caught with a secretary.

You seem to be missing the big point. This cannot be put on Bush, wide receiver was found to be flawed and stopped. Plus they at least tried to put tracking devices on the guns sold then. If it was already proven not to work why do you try again with even less effort made to follow the guns or even inform the Mexican authorities? Holder was in charge of things at the justice dept when F&F started. linkNow the operation was startedlink

Obama just appointed the wife of the owner of Univision to be a UN representative ---
This is a ploy by the Obama administration and Univision to enact a UN confiscation of guns in America.
