The irritating thing is that Fast and Furious was a part of Project Gunrunner. The ATF began Project Gunrunner as a pilot project in Laredo, Texas, in 2005 and expanded it as a national initiative in 2006. So Holder, who btw did a great job as the DC AG, has to take the blame for a Bush initiated project. Yes you don't hear a peep from the reich wing about that part of it. I guess its only a bad thing if a Democratic Party member is in power.
