Another difference between the gun running operaration under the Bush administration - is that they didn't have the advantage of experience in having a failed operation that had gone before.
Since the BATFE, Holder and Obama had a clear blueprint on how succesful a straw buyer / gun running operation would be at building evidence for an indictment, it makes it hard to believe that the goal of F&F was indeed to build a case against high-ranking cartel members.
They already knew 100% for certain that such a plan wouldn't work. In fact, it had been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that it would not work.
