The first operation is suspended due to the fact that it failed to accurately track the guns. The second operation appears to have been tracking the guns and recovering them from crime scenes. An operation like this needs clearance from the HMFIC, whether his office is oval or at the DOJ.

Obviously, the laws on the books were enough to prevent such tragedies from happening. Had our government enforced the laws on the middle men how many lives would have been saved....we will never really know that answer. I do know this: the cost of innocent lives to push an agenda, is never worth it.
