Mr. Davis claimed that there are four “facts” that Republicans making “personal attacks” on Attorney General Holder should know: (1) gunwalking at ATF began “under the George W. Bush administration,” (2) the Attorney General meant only to deny knowing about the “faulty tactics,” (3) the Attorney General can’t be expected to read all of his memos, and (4) law enforcement needs bi-partisan support rather than “political cheap shots.”
Perhaps his search for a distraction is understandable. The facts are so clear that there isn’t much the Department and its defenders can say, other than to lash out and blame the messengers. The fact is that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) encouraged gun dealers to sell assault rifles to known straw purchasers illegally buying on behalf of others.
The fact is that the Justice Department oversaw the operation as ATF literally watched bad guys collect hundreds of guns—week after week—for nearly a year.
And that's just part of it.

Seems a little confusing to me. When I was active duty, I remember being held responsible for my little corner of the world very shortly after reporting in. If I inherited a C-F, it was sorta my job to clean house, find good help, put them in place, and proceed with the mission.
I could almost get away with "it was like this when I got here" for the first three months or so, but that's about it.
To put things in perspective, this bozo has been in command for just about the length of an average tour, and he still can't find the reins. Yet he's the one ultimately responsible for administering the military system that I grew up in?
I'm SO glad President Reagan's signature is on my retirement certificate!

(4) law enforcement needs bi-partisan support rather than “political cheap shots.”
So he's saying the Republicans "acted stupidly?"
