BATFE-monitored weapons found in the hands of drug cartels

According to Fox News 5 assault rifles were found in a weapons cache by Mexican police which had been “watched” by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and allowed to cross the southern border during their attempts to track firearms smuggling;

U.S. authorities have identified at least five Romanian-made AK-47-style rifles as having been purchased in the U.S. by suspects the ATF was tracking in the Fast and Furious operation. Documents from the ATF’s National Tracing Center detail the makes and serial numbers of the firearms, their recovery in Mexico, and dates in 2009 and 2010 when the ATF entered them into a database of suspect guns.

So it’s the US Federal government that’s letting guns “walk” across the border, not regular US citizens like this Justice Department would have you believe.

The Justice Department said last month that the Fast and Furious operation was first approved by the U.S. attorney’s office in Arizona and the ATF’s Phoenix field office, and later by a multiagency organized-crime task force.

Tracy Schmaler, a Justice Department spokeswoman, said: “The attorney general takes the allegations that have been raised seriously, which is why he has asked the inspector general to investigate and made clear to everyone in the department that under no circumstances should guns be allowed to cross the border.”

Too late. They aren’t “allegations” now – weapons which the BATFE were “watching” ended up in a drug dealer’s house in Juarez. How much more needs to be proven?
