... "... But the plea to 'Contribute now and stand with us in demanding the resignation or termination of Eric Holder!' leaves several important questions unanswered, not the least of which is if responding with a donation will result in any meaningful action ... perhaps disclosing some of the specific ways that money will be directed toward the presumed purpose would be appropriate."
"If Mr. Whitfield and his Conservative Majority organization have been instrumental in uncovering details about the ongoing and unfolding Fast and Furious story, evidence of that is neither widely known nor readily apparent. ... that leads to the unsettling thought that this may just be about using this issue to raise money for something else altogether." ... |

What makes Critical Duty ammo stand out is that it has a ruggedized (we're pretty sure they made that word up) 'FlexLock design, a heavy InterLock band and Flex Tip technology.'" ... |

"The Finns had imported a large number of the weapons from Sweden in 1939. Though the Swedish Mauser helped them stop the Russians cold, inflicting huge casualties on the communists, the Russians eventually overwhelmed the Finns by sheer numbers and forced them to surrender some territory. Later, the Finns participated with German troops in invading the Soviet Union." ... |

We know that over 150k Mexican troops have joined the cartels in the last five years. So there go those guns. We also know that the Calderon administration is in bed with the Sinaloa cartel at the highest levels, opening the door to a relatively straightforward arms transfer.
