Agent: I was ordered to let U.S. guns into Mexico

[TFOGGER]

wow, what can you say about that. did they even nab the US dealer who was selling the weapons.

so not only are we not going to close the border, but we are going to arm the enemy? WTF WTF WTF WTF

The dealers that brought this "unusual" activity to the attention of BATFE, even though it was not illegal, were told to complete the sales as part of the investigation. I posted this up a week or so back, from the CBS news website. The mainstream media seems to be seriously ignoring this, probably to take heat off of the Chosen One....

In late 2009, ATF was alerted to suspicious buys at seven gun shops in the Phoenix area. Suspicious because the buyers paid cash, sometimes brought in paper bags. And they purchased classic "weapons of choice" used by Mexican drug traffickers - semi-automatic versions of military type rifles and pistols.
Sources tell CBS News several gun shops wanted to stop the questionable sales, but ATF encouraged them to continue.
