Obama asked the drug cartels to leave guns at murder scenes.
This is your theory.
...a question that I've not seen addressed in the media.
KUHNER: Obama’s Watergate
Why are so many of the guns being left at the scenes of the crimes?
I mean, how would we know that so many murders, in Mexico, were committed with guns acquired in the United States if the guns weren't recovered and traced back here?
It's as if someone was trying to support a "pulled-from-the-ass" number...
Counting Mexico’s Guns
Well, at least that's not what the statistics showed then. But, if you flood the murderous Mexican cartels with enough American guns and ask them to conveniently leave them behind at the scenes of hundreds of murders...you just might be able to bump those numbers up, eh?President Obama says 90 percent of Mexico's recovered crime guns come from the U.S. That's not what the statistics show.
Okay, that's my second why question.
Why did the United States not make any effort to track the guns after they crossed the border and, now, why did the cartels leave the guns behind? They paid good money for them.

if clause. idle speculation.
watergate..lol
Yeah, the "Hyphen-gate" is getting a bit worn.
But, that doesn't discount the legitimate questions of why the U.S. allowed guns to walk across the border and why so many of them are abandoned at Mexican crime scenes, does it?
I think Obama forgot to pick them up..
Quien sabe?
Who said they were abandoned at Mexican crime scenes?
Oh, I also forgot -- lol Moonie Times.
God, you're on fire today!
Because that's where they were found.
to bolster his 2009 claim that guns used by the cartels were from the U.S. Kinda like when he illegally annexed seven Candian states to bolster his claim that the U.S. had 57 states (and not 50 like we always believed).
That's what I read too...
Link please. Hadn't seen that detail.
That's a cynical take, don't you think?
That's what I read too...
But, absent any answers from the administration on why they allowed the guns to cross, in the first place; a cynic could be forgiven thinking there was a political motive for this debacle.
You realize that a lot of weapons are used in gunfights, right? And a lot of the cartel guys end up dead or wounded? They really can't carry their weapons off then...
Point taken.
A lot of the other weapons are seized in conjunction with raids on cartel safe houses...you know...those pictures you always see with piles of guns and drugs...
Plus, Obama just pulled that 90% number out of his ass...
I concede the point but, it doesn't answer the question of why the United States government would knowingly arm the cartels at a time when the President is apologizing for so many American guns ending being used in crimes there.
And, to do so without informing the Mexican government.
So, I guess I'm back to the first why.
I know he did. That's part of what feeds the cynicism.
Reading the link might clear that up for you.
It's the ellipsis-gate!
He is? When?
