SAN DIEGO Mission un-accomplished. I thought the goal of federal law enforcement officials was to keep guns out of Mexico and away from drug traffickers, not help them get in.

It's time to drive that point home to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and its acting director, Kenneth Melson. Thanks to reporting by CBS News and its investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson, the agency finds itself embroiled in an ugly controversy that might wind up soiling the Justice Department.

It's hard to tell who is more eager to get to the bottom of what CBS is calling the Obama administration's "gunwalker" scandal Mexican officials or House Republicans.

Mexico's attorney general has demanded explanations from the administration.

It also leads them to so much "end justifies the means", that they will construct pathways for the populace,, as in, voters, to follow.

And there is no stooping too low, when they work to manipulate public activity and opinion. Even to the point of have the ATF set America up for

some kind of justification, at least in their own minds, for trying to circumvent our Constitutional guarantees of free speech and the right to bear arms.

They know they cann't keep the power they lied and cheated so desperately for, without that control over the American people, as much as they

can wrangle it to happen. Now that the American people SHIFTED THE GOOD SHIP AMERICA back to the ...Right... of the iceberg, those on the Left

are enraged that they have come so close, yet are so far away.

And this, historically proven true, is where, all too often, oppresion has lambasted the innocent with violence, and penalty for anyone who

tries not to be intimidated into shutting up. This doesn't bode well for us. Obamao and his revolutionaries are quite capable of pushing our country

over that line.

"You are hereby commanded to be and appear before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform," a Mar. 31 subpoena signed by Chairman Darrell Issa orders Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Acting Director Kenneth E. Melson.

The committee is requiring Melson to produce scheduled documents at the Rayburn House Office Building at 5:00 p.m. on April 13.

Included with the subponea is proof of service, and a schedule demanding "documents and communications relating to:

* the genesis of Project Gunrunner and Operation Fast and Furious..."

Big, big trouble. This is a serious situation, and Ballpeen is absolutely correct.

ATF officials instructed wary U.S. gun dealers to sell to suspicious buyers, who often used brown bags of cash to make large purchases of high-powered guns. The ATF wanted to track the guns to drug cartels in Mexico. But the guns were subsequently used in many murders, including that of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in December 2010, according to reports.

CBS news spoke with federal agent and ATF whistleblower John Dodson. He and lower-level agents had confronted their superiors with concerns, but they were told, “If you’re going to make an omelette, you’ve got to break some eggs.”

The Department of Justice (DOJ) and ATF continue to stonewall investigations into the ‘gun walking’ allegations, Grassley tells The Examiner. Both agencies have publicly denied the claims, but he said that whistleblowers keep coming forward to confirm them.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has called for a Department of Justice inspector general to look into the gun trafficking efforts by U.S. agents along the Mexican border, but Grassley wants an independent investigation. “There may as well be a fox guarding the chicken house," he says.

They don't care about Congress, nor the U.S. Supreme Court's disagreement.

It's the ultimate arrogance - to order the ATF to allow, even encourage guns to be sold to mexican illegals...

so they can use it as a crisis for gun control.

We're in big, big trouble in our country.
