For those of you that don't know; The Zetas were an "unconventional" Mexican Paramilitary Unit that the U.S. started funneling top shelf training, weaponry, communications and intelligence to, in order to take on the Cartels...
Well the Zeta's found they could make more money as the "enforcement" arm of the Cartels, so they took all the goodies that the U.S. had given them and switched sides. They later broke away and started running their own operation and we have been fighting them ever since.
To think that the Obama State Department is still supplying weapons to a group that has killed an untold number of Mexicans is unconscionable.
Worse Than Gunwalker? State Dept. Allegedly Sold Guns to Zetas
It’s a stunning allegation that makes the other gunrunning scandals look like child’s play.

Phil Jordan, a former CIA operative and one-time leader of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center, claims that the Obama administration is running guns to the violent Zetas cartel through the direct commercial sale of military grade weapons:
Jordan, who served as director of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center in 1995, said the Zetas have shipped large amounts of weapons purchased in the Dallas area through El Paso.
Robert “Tosh” Plumlee, a former CIA contract pilot, told the Times he supported Jordan’s allegations, adding that the Zetas have reportedly bought property in the Columbus, N.M., border region to stash weapons and other contraband.
“From the intel, it appears that a company was set up in Mexico to purchase weapons through the U.S. Direct Commercial Sales Program, and that the company may have had a direct link to the Zetas.”...
