Brian Terry was a U.S. Border Patrol agent, former police officer, and Marine Corps veteran, a super patriot by any measure.
This brave, proud American was murdered by border-crossing criminals from Mexico. His killers used weapons ‘walked’ to Mexico from America via the scandal known as Operation Fast and Furious, a federal program that deliberately pushed American guns into Mexico and ultimately into the hands of Mexican drug cartels.
Terry’s killers were armed with at least one AK-47 provided via Fast and Furious, the huge federal scandal that House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA), is working to unveil. Issa’s efforts are, and have been, stonewalled by Erick Holder and his minions in the Department of justice.
So, a top-notch border-patrol agent was murdered by Mexican criminals using weapons ‘walked’ into Mexico by Eric Holder’s Department of Justice.
Amazingly enough, there is no record of a public apology or issuance of condolences to the family of Brian Terry. In fact, in a crude reminder of how callous and cold the Obama administration can be, there is even evidence that the Terry death was regarded as ‘collateral damage’ by federal authorities.
Brian Terry was an exceptionally-patriotic American hero who gave his life in defense of his nation.
Unfortunately, his sacrifice did not warrant honor or condolences from the federal thugs who shipped the weapons to Mexico that were used to end the young life of this agent.
Its not as though the Obama administration does not offer condolences to surviving family members of those killed by the government.
In fact, our government actually offered condolences to the family of Samir Khan, an al-Qaida propagandist killed in a U.S. drone attack. As reported at the reference, in part:
An official from the U.S. State Department has called the Charlotte family of al-Qaida propagandist Samir Khan to offer the government's condolences on his death in a U.S. drone attack last week in Yemen, according to a family spokesman.In the end, Brian Terry was apparently just too patriotic and pro-American for Obama and Erick Holder.
"They were very apologetic (for not calling the family sooner) and offered condolences," Jibril Hough said about the Thursday call from the State Department to Khan's father, Zafar. [...]
Khan published a pro-jihadi website from Charlotte, to the chagrin of his family. In 2009, he left the states to live in Yemen and head up "Inspire," an English language al-Qaeda publication. "In one early edition," reports the Charlotte Observer, "Khan said he was 'proud to be a traitor to America.'"
Things might have been different if Terry had only been a card-carrying member of al-Qaeda with Jihad and murder of Americans on his resume!
How much more of this idiocy must we endure?
