U.S. National Intelligence Director James Clapper told lawmakers here that drug-related violence in Mexico poses a security threat to the United States and acknowledged that the system in place to prevent a potential terrorist from penetrating the U.S. southwestern border is not "iron-clad."

During an appearance Thursday before the Senate Armed Forces Committee, Clapper reiterated the U.S. government's position that drug trafficking and the prevalence of drug cartels in Mexico is a "matter of national security interest in both countries."

not "iron-clad."

How about not "wet-paper-tissue-clad?"

Well, the name James Clapper used in conjunction with the term Intelligence Chief is an oxymoron, no doubt. He has to hold one of the easiest jobs in the administration if all he has to do is spout what is already patently obvious to everyone else.
