Need I say more? Yes, I should.
Israel needs our help. But will they get it, is the question.
Here, also is what is/has happened in London. Still think Islam is peaceful?
And then there’s this Egyptian guy. Oh yeah, peaceful my behind.
Oh good, Assad says the West shouldn’t interfere or else there will be an earthquake.

Right?

I’ve asked about this before. And now it comes out.
By Paul Richter, Los Angeles Times
October 21, 2011, 6:53 p.m.
Reporting from Washington— Moammar Kadafi secretly salted away more than $200 billion in bank accounts, real estate and corporate investments around the world …….
U.S. and European authorities said Friday that they intended to quickly hand over frozen assets to the transitional Libyan government. But so far, the U.N. has authorized release of only $1.5 billion from accounts in the U.S., and the Obama administration has turned over $700 million of that amount, said Marti Adams, a Treasury Department spokeswoman.
Some African nations were reluctant to freeze Libyan accounts at all because of their loyalty to Kadafi. Others feared that freezing Libyan assets could hurt their domestic economies as bills and workers went unpaid.
Ed Morrissey at the Hot Air site not only explains it well, but poses questions that DOJ must answer.
Trouble is, they haven’t and won’t – looks like.
The thing is, it isn’t just the BATFE. It’s the FBI also.
Ask yourself this, if the online instant check system prevented the strawman purchases (which that would have – since the men involved have prior records) would the Operation Fast & Furious have happened at all?
So this points to the higher ups in DOJ even moreso than previously discussed.
Does the term – egg on your face – mean anything to you, Eric Holder? How about you, Mr. President?
UPDATE: And lost track of over 1,000 guns. Mack and Mire obviously working on it.
UPDATEx2: The Associated Press now weighs in (via POWERLINE).
The Obama administration’s cover-up continues to this day, as Eric Holder’s Department of Justice stonewalls Congress, seemingly in order to prevent the investigation from reaching into the highest levels of the administration. If the media’s need to protect the fast-sinking Obama administration were not so acute, this would be quite a scandal. It will be interesting to see how many newspapers outside the Southwest border region print the AP’s latest story.
UPDATEx3: The investigation expands.
UPDATEx4: So three WH officials received emails, huh?
UPDATEx5: Oh wow, this just gets better and better, or worse and worse, depending on your point of view. From Michelle Malkin, there is also information of not just guns being tossed, er – walked, to Mexican drug cartel(s). Sheesh. And then there’s what’s going on in Indiana, too.
UPDATEx6 and Bumped again: Oh, and two more tidbits: there was a third gun found at Border Agent Brian Terry’s murder, the FBI covered it up, and our tax dollars funded these “walked” guns purchases. If this don’t beat all.
UPDATEx7 and Bumped yet again: Apparently the DOJ is trying to derail the Congressional investigation by Issa. Methinks they protesteth too much.
UPDATEx8: And another piece of the puzzle at Hot Air. Cover-up was to protect an informant? And are there 200 murders as a consequence of this F&F program?
UPDATEx9: More audio, more treachery.
UPDATEx10: We didn’t talk to Mexico about this “program”? How un-neighborly.
UPDATEx11: This blows the “botched sting” theory.
UPDATEx12: What we’ve got here is failure to communicate. (line from Cool Hand Luke)
UPDATEx13: So now the NY Post gets it.
UPDATEx14: More details, much more. F&F at least started back in September 2009.
UPDATEx15: Accomplices named. Oh, and this flashback is pulled from the memory hole.
UPDATEx16: Documents released Friday evening (9/30/11), but not everything. There are, however, some interesting links wthin – such as letters, emails and a chart. A little more is said at Hot Air.
What’s this? DOJ considering getting rid of ATF??? Gee, what do they have to bury, er, hide??? And GatewayPundit chimes in.
UPDATEx17: PajamasMedia adds to the discussion with this little nugget – other operations that did the same. As confirmed by Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News – Operation Wide Receiver.
UPDATEx18: So. The AG Eric Holder admits he doesn’t read every memo sent to him? Is that his excuse now? Why, exactly, is he the Attorney General???????
UPDATEx19 … Bumping again: Quite a list here:
House Republicans Request Special Counsel to Probe Holder on ‘Fast and Furious’
GOP Says Eric Holder is ‘Either Incompetent’ or ‘Misleading Congress’
CBS News Reporter Says White House Screamed, Swore at Her Over Fast and Furious
New documents show AG Eric Holder was briefed in July 2010
UPDATEx20:
Is CBS News Silencing Fast and Furious Reporter?
CNN’s Anderson interviews Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) on F&F (via Hot Air)
And if you are interested at all about AG Eric Holder’s storied background, head on over to Michelle Malkin’s site about him.
UPDATEx21:
ATF officials reassigned in latest Fast and Furious fallout
Justice in full panic
Hhhmm, all of a sudden, it kinda looks like more media outlets are paying attention. Hhhmmm.
AHA! At last, Jake Tapper asks the Prez a tough question. Oh, to have been a fly on the wall at that presser. Oh, and Senator Cornyn is exactly right, it looks more like a cover-up.
And more memos.
UPDATEx22: Found in Mexico cartel’s house.
Updatex23: Holder to be subpoenaed? Oh, and Holder makes public about a terror plot bust. As Malkin says, question the timing.
UPDATEx24: This is too much. Love the question: How did the President know about F&F before the AG … back in March … before the AG claimed he even heard about it. HAH! GOTCHA both!
UPDATEx25: Friday, December 2, F&F document dump raises more questions.
UPDATEx26: Friday’s document dump (Jan 27, 2012) includes documentation proving Holder was informed immediately after the agent’s murder.

Darrell Issa on whether there should be a Special Prosecutor on the Fast and Furious DOJ Program.
With audio from the Sean Hannity radio program. Today.
via HotAirPundit.
My own question: What do you do when the top cop is corrupt?

The lunch itself was Jay Carney.
Excellent job, Jake. Wanna run for President? We could really use a guy like you.
The transcript is here. A fantastic read.

No, really. According to Hoffa, at the Labor Day rally, it’s the union members. He says they are going to “get those SOBs.”
Well, guess what? I work for a living, too. And I’d bet good money conservatives do, too. Whether we are union members or not, is irrelevant.
A call to arms? Take who out?
It’s time to ask yourself, what version of America do you love and want for your children and theirs … and what are you prepared to do towards that end?
The Tea Party is not the enemy. Conservatism is not the enemy.
So who, exactly, is the enemy? One mnajor clue.
They lie to us.
More to the point, not all of us recognize that for what it is.
They want to control us.
I thought most of us love our independence, control of our lives, our choice in our futures/jobs/faith/love. Am I wrong? I don’t believe so. And neither does Rush Limbaugh.

Seems the Mayor of NYC has had enough since there were 24 people shot over a span of 24 hours this past Labor Day weekend. As of last night, no suspect had been arrested although police are hunting for one suspect, who they identified as 17-year-old Oneil Dasilva of Mount Vernon.
Bloomberg went ballistic yesterday, demanding stiffer federal gun laws.
Mayor, I have a suggestion, since your city has practically the toughest gun laws around, why don’t you just catch the suspects, throw them in jail and toss away the key instead? You’ll find that makes a real difference.

Via GatewayPundit:
“The Federal Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. has suggested that the use of wood from India that is not finished by Indian workers is illegal, not because of U.S. law, but because it is the Justice Department’s interpretation of a law in India. (If the same wood from the same tree was finished by Indian workers, the material would be legal.) This action was taken without the support and consent of the government in India.”
UPDATE: Gibson CEO gives press statemeent. Apparently, the DOJ also confiscated $500K of materials from Gibson back in 2009 and the CEO wants it back.
And then there’s this news item also.
Michelle Malkin posted on this as well. Quite a few worthwhile links in her article that are also must reads.
And the CEO is interviewed by Dana Loesch. This is an inteesting interview (audio only).
Even Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit) hits on it a small bit.
UPDATEx2: Seems Gibson’s CEO is a Republican supporter and a competitor (Martin), as a Democrat supporter who also uses the same wood, hasn’t been touched by the DOJ. How about that.
Reminder:
DOJ files lawsuits against Arizona & other states for passing ‘self-defense’ laws the same as Article 4, Section 4 in the U.S. Constitution.
Why is it our DOJ is more interested in protecting workers in another country (that didn’t ask for help) rather than protecting the lives and sovereign properties of our own citizens from Mexican crime cartels?
This needs an answer. Seriously.

I wouldn’t call it hutzpah. Is it more than intimidation? I’d say so.
Zeilinski’s email could easily be read as a threat to organize union demonstrators against Wisconsin newspapers that publish reporting provided to them by WisconsinReporter.com’s staff. And his vow to go after WisconsinReporter.com’s capitol media credentials is an obvious effort to silence a news organization with which he disagrees
“To have a party official put something in writing like that is pretty out there,” she said. “I’ve seen a lot of emotions. Politics are bubbling to the surface in a way we don’t normally see with editorial products, but this is uncharted territory.”
