Weapons Traffic: U.S. bid to block weapons to Mexico misfires

Once again, there is a big discrepancy between what the government announces publicly (see this aritcle's review of yesterday's ATF announcement of its successes) and the actual facts. This is more evidence that the U.S government can't even competently fight the "whack-a-mole" war it should not be fighting in the first place.

U.S. bid to block weapons to Mexico misfires - msnbc.com: "A major Justice Department program - Project Gunrunner, run by the department’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives - aimed at intercepting the flow of U.S. weapons to Mexico’s drug cartels is misfiring due to bureaucratic turf battles and a failure to share critical intelligence about illegal firearms purchases, according to an internal department report."
