The activities involved in Fast and Furious have slowly been revealed. What has not been fully revealed is the motivation for that activity.
Are we really to believe that the whole operation was to buttress some statistics supporting a political agenda that we dislike? Wouldn't it have been much easier to just manipulate the statistics (e.g. getting the Mexicans to scour their warehouses and submit a lot more serial numbers for tracing ... as was actually done)?
Or should we believe that ATF was really trying to catch gun smugglers further up the food chain? If so, which agency was ATF supposed to hand off surveillance to when the guns left the country? And how were those smugglers - outside the country - supposed to be apprehended and brought to justice?
I suspect a few more dots need to be connected before we really know what was happening and why.
