Subject: I'll reduce that CNN piece I nicked off the web for you

For those of you who don't have a problem with supplying Mexican drug lords with weapons...

"Democrats argue that Issa and his GOP colleagues are using the issue to try to score political points by discrediting Holder and, by extension, the president in an election year."

"House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, alleged last week that Republicans were targeting Holder because he is fighting their efforts to suppress voter turnout in November."

What if those weapons had instead fallen into the hands of our allies, Mz Pelosi? Would you still try sweeping it under the rug?

Iamon lyme: Suppress voter turnout? Is that what Republicans are trying to do? I don't think so.

They couldn't suppress voter turnout if they wanted to. With so many people out of work, and more on the way to being out of work, does Mz Pelosi really think no one is motivated to start seeing some kind of POSITIVE change?

Iamon lyme: Ok.. some history.. over the last 60 years..ish

We've seen various western and eastern states play a game of NIMBY.

....that's Not In My Back Yard.

Gun running, drugs, the support of terrorists, murderers n' genocidal maniacs. Chemically induced abnormalities in babies, stillbirths, leukaemia, etc, etc, etc..

Billions of dollars/pounds/euros given to those who are known by those supplying the money to have only one purpose with it... to kill. That women and children are killed in the process is not of the playing powers concern.

Because it's a NIMBY event. It didn't happen in their backyard, it wasn't millions of their own people...... they were 'foreigners' or 'third world' countries who needed help in deciding how to be democratic or free of capitalists.

The death and maiming toll from such policies hasn't stopped growing.

.... so......... when I see yet another case of guns getting into unfriendly hands (like all those that vanished in Iraq) .... I'm not surprised or shocked. It's like when the press went mad at Angelina Jolie showing a leg.. going "WOW.. how sexy and daring

... bull, get a reality check. It's been done before and much better by the likes of Marilyn Monroe.
