You don't understand jack-shit...
There were no, zero!, arrests made. No attempt to ever stop or even slow the guns getting into Mexico. Six operations going on for two years plus and no arrest, no confiscated firearms, nothing. This was not an attempt to stop straw purchases. What it did do is make sure the straw purchases happened and kept happening. Getting the boarder agent killed was all that stopped the operation.
Edit: I got to think about it and they did make one arrest... AFTER the Congressional hearing had been underway for a while. They arrested one "informant" that IIRC, was an illegal alien already in jail.
