Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told senators for the first time Tuesday that she had no knowledge of a botched federal gun-tracking program while it was ongoing.

In testimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Napolitano said she was first made aware of the Fast and Furious operation after U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in the line of duty.

“Let me be very clear for the record, you were unfamiliar with Operation Fast and Furious while the operation was under way?” asked Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).

“That is accurate,” Napolitano replied.

[Little Ray]

She’s lying, she’s incompetent, or she’s both.

[capydick]

Depends on how you define unfamiliar. Our old friend Juan gave her a convenient way out without her actually being charged with perjury. They're all corrupt.

[meyer]

Likewise, everyone on death row is innocent - just ask them!

[TWhiteBear]

Let me be very clear for the record, you were unfamiliar with Operation Fast and Furious while the operation was under way?’

A truly Clintonesque question from Sen McCain. ‘unfamiliar’??...while under way?’
Mr. McCain should be in the same cell with Mr. Holder.

Again kiddies, thanks go to Clinton for showing us the fine art of parsing. Now that we know how the game is played;

Keyword; ongoing.

Well how about setting it up because you certainly went out there and trumpeted the same 90% line of crap! naturally, after it was going there was no need to know the after effects because the damage would have been done and new laws enacted because of it.

Sorry janet, this one just made it to your desk as well.

Hummmm...it appears this was ordered by the custodian!!!!

[Ole Okie]

Hummmm...it appears this was ordered by the custodian!!!!

Naw. Even the custodian has deniability. After all, he was "unfamiliar" with the operation whilst it was going on.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Well since nobody at the top seems to have known about it I guess some rogue ATF agents just dreamed it all up on their own and then authorized allocation of funds for it in secret.

Somebody fluent in photoshop needs to paste Nappypolitano’s face under the helmet,

[little jeremiah]

She’s taking the “I’m stupider than a box of rocks” instead of the “I’m an evil criminal trying to foment a revolution from within” choice.

[little jeremiah]

Willful ignorance.

Faux ignorance. Give her a lie detector test.

"Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told senators for the first time Tuesday that she had no knowledge of a botched federal gun-tracking program while it was ongoing."

Why? You are the Homeland Security Secretary, Napolitano. How far into the dark places have you stuck your head?

“Unfamiliar.” As in, not intimate with? Not cuddly close? Not well-versed? Not my baby?

[Gomez]

"Napolitano said she was first made aware of the Fast and Furious program after U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in the line of duty in Arizona in December 2010"

...and not a single head rolled

except for a whistleblower or two

[dagogo redux]

Big Sis lied, agents died.

[Clintonfatigued]

Janet Napolitano sure does remind me a lot of Janet Reno.
