When the sh*t is about to hit the fan, direct attention towards Bush.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/earlier-atf-gun-operation-wide-receiver-used-same-tactics-as-fast-and-furious/2011/10/06/gIQAuRHIRL_story.html
Republican lawmakers for eight months have been leading the probe into “Fast and Furious,” the controversial ATF gun operation, and trying to determine who in President Obama’s Justice Department knew what, and when they knew it.
But it turns out there was another gun operation run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives years before, using the same tactics of allowing guns to flow illegally onto U.S. streets and into Mexico. This operation was conducted under the Bush administration’s Justice Department.
As it turns out, in Wide Receiver the fed actually worked with the Mexican gov't to follow the guns and track down the dealers/cartels (and even so, there are people that have been prosecuted for this op).
Seems that this administration used that operation as a blueprint, which they altered a bit to push other goals (like blaming gun violence in Mexico on US guns to restrict 2A rights).
