Acknowledging that an apology is owed, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano promised Thursday to meet and clear the air with veterans groups that were offended by her agencys report citing returning veterans as terrorist risks to the U.S.
To the extent veterans read it as an accusation, Napolitano told FOX News, an apology is owed.
Ill meet with the leaders of some of the veterans groups, she promised on FOX & Friends. The last thing we want to do is offend or castigate all veterans. To the contrary, lets meet and clear the air.
Napolitano said she was briefed on the report, including the warning about returning veterans, before it was released.

I have to tell you, I was the United States Attorney for Arizona in the 90s when Tim McVeigh bombed the Murrow building in Oklahoma City and unfortunately he was a vet thats where he got his training, she said. And so when I was told about the report, it rang true with me. This has happened in the past.

Timothy McVeigh learned how to make fertilizer bombs in the infantry? Huh?!
The only acceptable apology is her immediate resignation.
It does not sound like she gets it.
She must resign.
Napolitano had better remember all of us Viet Nam “Baby
Killer” Vets, too.
Maybe she means the VETS should apologize for disturbing her beauty rest?
I’m amazed that she didn’t choke on the word ‘apology’ considering she truly believes what she said to start with.
“an apology is owed.”
They never say “we apologize” or “I apologize (on behalf of whatever junior staffer wrote this crap / leaked this policy memo)”.
Cowards.

Be respectful, but let them know you are outraged.
And what about all the other groups you insulted and profiled Janet? Owe them an apology too.
She doesn’t get it. She should apologize to Christians, everyone who is pro-life, pro-capitalism and pro-constitution.
I agree!
Would love to sign a petition.
Exactly. We wouldn’t meet with her. They don’t have to meet with her. She should just say to all the veterans I am sorry for what I said NOT “if it offended you.” That’s BS and I would rather see our veterans tell her meeting with her is not necessary. Just issue the public apology the way it should be and then think before she opens her mouth like that again. RESIGN JANET...YOU’RE DEFINITELY NOT QUALIFIED FOR THE POSITION YOU HOLD. PERIOD!!!
So apologize, beyotch...
She’s “apologizing” for lumping all veterans in as right wing extremists. What she meant to say was that all white veterans are right wing extremists.
Of course she didn’t apologize to Constitutionalists, gunowners, or pro-life supporters.
Can it be POSSIBLE that the head our OUR HOMELAND SECURITY is this STUPID????????????
All points alert!
Wanted or contempt of regular Americans, possible terroristic threats against them:
Janet Napolitano AKA Janet Reno Redux AKA Janet Napreno.
Eradicate Left Wing Extremists in Office! Vote them out of office!
Napolitano is a dangerous person and needs to resign.
Veterans get an “apology”, but secure-borders advocates, pro-life supporters, traditional marriage supporters, and anti-Communist freedom lovers continue to be targeted by the Napolitano Gestapo. The veterans’ orgs should demand that she include EVERY smeared group in her “apology”, which by the way takes effect when her fat rear end is on a bus out of the nation’s capital.
