America's Third War: Is the U.S. Arming Mexican Cartels?

The short answer is yes...but it is not mom and pop gun stores on the border. You can read the story by the above title here.

quote:

You can't buy this stuff at a U.S. gun store. So where do the cartels get it? According to leaked diplomatic cables, there are three sources.

1. U.S. Defense Department shipments to Latin America, known and tracked by the U.S. State Department as "foreign military sales."

2. Weapons ordered by the Mexican government, tracked by the State Department as "direct commercial sales."

3. Aging, but plentiful arsenals of military weapon stores in Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua.

Even though these facts were well-known by the Obama administration, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Attorney General Eric Holder, it blamed much of the violence in Mexico on U.S. gun stores.

hmmmm...wouldn't that be lying? Say it isn't so. Could this indicate that the above named people have an endgame plan to slowly disarm law abiding citizens instead of fixing the real problem? Isn't that like blaming the cat because the dog is barking? This transparent administration wouldn't do that...would they?
