Word Play
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has an explanation about why she never mentioned the word "terrorism" during her first testimony on Capitol Hill.
Napolitano tells the German news site Spiegel Online that while she presumes there is always a threat from terrorism: "I referred to "man-caused" disasters. That is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur."
James Carafano, senior research fellow at the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation says: "By deliberately trying not to use the T word they run a serious political risk. If something does happen, they'll be accused of taking their eye off the ball and no amount of explanation after the fact will suffice."

“God save us all. “
You can say that again, and again and again.
We all need to pray. I am so scared for this country; I am so scared for all us. I am so scared for my kids and the mess that’ll be handed to them; and, if this downslide continues the country they’ll be living in.
I want my country back!
Idiot is Homeland Security boss and does not even realize that the TERRORISTS have declared WAR on the United States and all of its people.
Well dammit Janet, that means your boss is really just an undocumented, Constitutionally-impaired, unofficially employed immigrant that just happens to be occupying the highest Office in the Land.
So just ignore my tagline.
Read the FOX piece slowly and let this “nuance” sink in. And then realize that the Secretary of Homeland Security said this. The one person who is supposed to be protecting us. Good night and sleep tight, America. Barack and Janet are watching over us.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
Interesting theory....
At which your boss is a master, lady, and seems to want to continue...
I think I’d use insane instead of interesting but that’s just me.
Actually I should have put ...
WOW that’s an original theory...
/s
:)
Fixed it.
The end game of affirmative action!
The word “terrorist” is no longer to be used.
The new title is “man-caused-disaster-causing men”.
Are there no woman terrorist! I call sexism!!!! I’m terribly offended!
LOL, If you ever looked at the hags at Code Pink you know there is such thing as Woman-Caused Disaster.....
I REFUSE to adopt their traitorous language.
I will continue to call a spade a spade, and a terrorist a terrorist (and a Kenyan a Kenyan, a Marxist a Marxist, an illegal immigrant an ILLEGAL immigrant, and a usurper a usurper).
Yes I can see the next terror attack phrased as “people with anger management issues”.
How did this bozo ever get elected governor?
Zero is a stupid man caused disaster.
“I want my country back!”
Same here, and there is going to be a groundswell of people with the same sentiment. It’s going to come, especially after we’re hit with a wave of terror attacks here.
Hey Janet, illegal immigration is a man-caused disaster, so deal with it already!
