The U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security defended her department Thursday after a series of attacks at last night's Republican presidential debate, though she insisted she did not want to "get involved" in the politics of a debate.

"Part of this is just trying to find things to talk about, I suspect," Napolitano said of Republicans' comments the night before. "But I think that in its eighth year now, the Department of Homeland Security continues to improve [and] coalesce out of the 22 different agencies that it was made of. ... It's the kind of department you have to build the plane while you fly it, and I think it really has begun to gel in important ways."

"There is national guard at the border, and there's a record number of civilian law enforcement at the border. There's never been more boots on the border than there are now," she said. "Illegal immigration is down significantly, and seizures of drugs and money are up."

blah,blah,blah,blah

Isn't responding to something said during the debate "getting involved"?

So exporting bombers and thousands of machine-guns to drug-dealers was part of an effort to BUILD the plan as they FLEW it, right?

Dealing weapons without any documentation was part of their successful effort to make “the border as secure as it ever has been.”

Right?

Honestly —besides Holder or the Gay Muslim I cannot imagine a person begging more intensely to be FIRED.

“It’s the kind of department you have to build the plane while you fly it, and I think it really has begun to gel in important ways.”

So it’s like jello and flying with no visible means of support. We get it Janet.
