Homeland Security Chief Janet Napolitano today said she knew nothing of her agency's possible involvement in a controversial ATF operation called "Fast and Furious."

In that operation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives allegedly intentionally allowed vast numbers of assault weapons to fall into the hands of Mexico's drug cartels. Insiders call it letting guns "walk."

On a related topic, Grassley asked Napolitano if it was true that two members of the border tactical team that Brian Terry was on were carrying only beanbag guns and no regular weapons.

"I don't know if that's true," answered Napolitano, noting the matter is under investigation.-<<< I know that border very, very well.LOL

She is in charge of DHS and she does not know very much..

In a related story...Napolitano: If I might Senator, we have invited bipartisan leadership of the Congress to come down to the southwest border to see all of the activities that at a bipartisan level have been supported across this border… Cornyn: Madam Secretary, you don’t need to invite a Texan or an Arizonan to come to the border… Napolitano: I would suggest though—I know that—and I’ve spent almost my entire life on the border. I was raised in New Mexico, I spent my adult life in Arizona till I moved here, so I know that border very, very well. But there are other members of the Congress who do not, and I think if they see what is down there, and what is coming, because more and more keeps coming, they will understand both the enormity of the task, but also all of the operations put in place.

So she is saying that she can not remember what orders she gives from one moment to the next.

Brilliant.

None of these people seem to know what is going on. They need to be removed.

Barry, Janet and the whole crew are incompetent and clueless criminals.

The one time we can believe Big Sis is when she says she’s clueless.

So this ignorant hack doesn’t even watch CBS News? They’ve done 2 stories about BATF gun smuggling, which is really amazing for a Leftist MSM outlet like CBS.

She claims to know that Border and the problems there very well, but it seems she Obviously doeasn’t know what to do about it or has been ordered by the Bama boy to do nothing.

Stop them in their tracks turn them around and head them right back into Mexico, What is so hard about that. If they open fire annihilate them.
