    Holder could put an end to the embarrassment of the Obama administration even if he faces prosecution over the deaths later. He doesn't seem to be inclined to do that. That's fine with me, unless Obama throws him under the bus, he'll be an albatross around Obama's neck come November.

    In my opinion this can only be the result of one of two things. 1) Obama approved the program that ended up killing 2 American Law Enforcement Agents and Holder will rat him out. 2) Obama just hasn't come up with Holders price to take the fall. That's just my opinion, but I can't see it playing any other way.

    There is no doubt in my mind that Holder was aware of the operation, and still believe Obama probably gave his approval. How does some guy with the ATF approve an operation like this without consulting higher authorities? How would Holder alone have the authority to approve something like this?

    He wouldn't! There's no way I'll believe an operation that could cause an international incident wouldn't need approval from the State Dept AND the President himself.

    AND the president himself is absolutely right.... nothing goes on that Obama doesn't know about and gives his approval on....

    If King Obama didn't approve, it wouldn't happen.........

    Which is why I expect Obama and Holder to be led away in chains over this.
