WASHINGTON (AFP) – US authorities Tuesday named a new chief for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) after a scandal in which the agency lost track of weapons that ended up in the hands of drug cartels in Mexico.

B. Todd Jones, a federal prosecutor in Minnesota, was appointed acting director of ATF, while the current acting director Kenneth Melson was named a senior adviser to the agency on forensic science.

“As a seasoned prosecutor and former military judge advocate, US Attorney Jones is a demonstrated leader who brings a wealth of experience to this position,” said Attorney General Eric Holder in a statement.

  1. To anyone here who actually has a job allow me to state the obvious.

    If you have poor job performance, you get terminated and replaced by someone who is more equipped to handle the job.

    A mistake was made, now we fix the mistake by getting someone to clean this up. Complaining to complain is fun.. i think?!

    if you truely believe this country is going for bondage.. by all means move.

    Im not the type to say told you sow, actually quite opposite. Im a very likeable guy for my ideals, this is not a perfect world, nor can perfection ever be attained. Were simply looking to organize this chaos because that little hacker down the block could potentially steal your identity.

    We have trusted professionals in place doing this for yeas. We are making the right moves to ensure you to stay in the land of the free home of the brave. As stated before move and then respond.

    • “If you have poor job performance, you get terminated and replaced by someone who is more equipped to handle the job.”

      WOW! Are you Chinese? Because as a person living in China for a long time, that sounds like a Chinese employer talking bullshit. “If you don’t like your job, then we will get someone else because there are millions of people in China without a job and we can hire them for half the costs.”

      Has America really become China? If you believe this to be true, then I hope you all rot in hell! I’m sorry, but if you’re a businessman, where’s your ethics and morality. How is this humane? Getting rid of someone for poor performance rather than helping him or her improve. So we just replace him with someone who will be competent for two weeks only to get rid of him too and then higher another one. I mean what the hell kind of humane business are you running? To people like that, I say, Hell is not good enough for you. You sick scum! I hope someone takes all of your money and stuffs it down your throat and makes you choke on it and watches you as you die suffering a slow, suffocating death like you have been doing to everyone else. WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE???

  2. Why are all the Criminal Bastards involved in “Fast and Furious” that murdered innocent civilians and Border Patrol Agents being re-assigned…they should be tried for treason and murder. F’ck you Government scalawags, we want their f’cking heads on a stake.

  3. Another kenyan scapegoat that can do no wrong. Another messiah.

  4. That bro’s gon fix it …

    Don’t worry about a thing …

    P.S. Everythin’s under Kontrol …

  5. Shuffling around one high priest to another diocese it seems.

    Who will the priest molest in his new position before he gets shuffled around again.

    Notice there is no punishment, no apology, just shuffle him elsewhere and maybe hope he cures himself of his disease.

    Or maybe they are hoping that we haven’t noticed that “Father Ken” has a disease.

    • Your comment is a disease.

      And your inability to cipher out the anti-catholic media fervor that is so transparent within the American Kosher Approved broadcasting matrix, by parroting the headlines of attack pieces written by reactionary groups who’s sole purpose is the destruction of the church.. only solidifies your level of education and background.

      For your information… the ratio of ‘pedophiles’ who are convicted within Judaism compared to that of the Catholic Church is mesmerizing. Only difference is the local Rabbi who’s caught feeling up young Joseph Horowitz isn’t blasted on every frontpage news outlet like the slander campaigns against a Catholic Priest.

      You want names a$*hole? I got a list of over 100 Rabbi’s CONVICTED of child abuse and molestation. With new names added to the list almost every single MONTH.

      You on the other hand are hard pressed to compile a list that barley contains 5-10 ‘Priest’ out of a organization that consist of over 1.2 Billion members world wide.

      An organization who’s continued stance on homosexuality has always remained the same (NO) While the Jews in Israel and across the world promote Gay Pride in every nook ‘n cranny of society.

      You’re a joke… and your half a$* parroted (run of mill) comment even more so.

      One other thing… im not Catholic. So there goes your troll reply b*tch. I just call ‘em like i see ‘em.

      • The Catholic church and organized religion including Judaism will be no more. God the father is going to get his ass kicked straight into hell. Right now, they are trying to find evil souls to play god. Look at the world, it has been ruined. Organized religion is a cartel. Their purpose is to control, manipulate, abuse and profit off naive, weak and desperate souls. God will save your soul, but who will save his? He wants to take everyone to hell with him. You have to pay to play. Why would anybody sacrifice their soul to a false god?

        John Lennon’s song “Imagine” is the way of the future. It’s just a painful pill for organized religion and governments to swallow. It just takes time and pressure for the powers that be of this world to lose everything. Being one with the earth is the true religion. Respect for the living and the dead should be paramount, not telling people the dead are in heaven.

        • I often find it amusing how these ppl; who say they are so god like creatures are the first ones to get upset and bring anxiety and drama to the conversation about religion and belief systems of other kind.
          They get very defensive and uptight discussing any other view that is not theirs.
          There is a name for tat kind of behavior. Religion was and always was used to gring about community and something for everyone in the society to believe in for commonality.
          No one has ever seen or talked directly to any creator of the entire universe. If that is god then that is quite obviously a fact of life. that no creator of the entire universe and of all of eternity and the depteh of everything ever. That conversation never happened ok.
          Oh I forgot about the Zionist boys well that is another story now isnt it.
          For the record the god of the books which describe someones interpretation is very speculative for the all.
          The christians, Muslims, and all other religions dont even know what a grain of sand is for and what water is for or how to make any of these things yet they have the answers to everything that the creator of the entire universe has in mind for everybody on the planet.
          Yeah, Right! And then some would say I dont know what I am talking about, call me crazy if you want ok o well o well o well. .

        • thats funny. here you are reaping the benefits of God every time your heart beats and you post nonsense like this. john lennon is dead, so you may wana choose a different god.

      • your right on man .

  6. This Todd Jones fellow has a look of the “Stepford Wives”
    on his face in the index pic.

    Hard to tell what kind of mind control the brother’s been through.

    One thing I can G- Guarantee you:

    B.Todd Jones IS NOT ON OUR SIDE.

  7. i like how they list his credentials. i mean how many of the crooks in govt have credentials as long as your arm? and what is it worth?? NOTHING. they dont DO anything but brown their noses up each others behinds.

    • “They have great confidence in him…” Well, since they do – I don’t.

  8. Perhaps he’ll pull a 180* change on those pricks and go after all the failed ‘dufusses’ that perpetrated the fatal screwup————–I was just saying, (but what a thought…)

    • …but since those pricks were just doing what they were told/ordered…they’ll probably recieve ‘advancements’ also,as ‘Kenny’ boy did.

  9. uh huh

  10. if the current administration made this choice then he is an enemy of the people.

    • Yup…!

  11. What was that song the music group the ”Who” made about meet the new boss same as the old…

    • Good point…!-things never change, only the names,but same characters…

  12. Well bless my soul… MCB
