Napolitano: "The system worked"
DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano said that the thwarting of the attempt to blow up the Amsterdam-Detroit flight this week demonstrated that "the system worked."
Asked by CNN's Candy Crowley on "State of the Union" how that could be possible when the young Nigerian who sought to set off the bomb was able to smuggle explosive liquid onto the flight, Napolitano responded: "We're asking the same questions."
Napolitano added that there was "no suggestion that [the bomber] was improperly screened."
Baby Jesus Christmas present: Dutch hero!
GOD Please help us, those of us that love this country and go to sleep crying every night because these idiots are doing their level best to destroy it. . . . .
OMG! Remove this worthless POS now!
We're doomed!
Seriously, if she wants to get reelected, she better figure out what side she is on. It would be a good time to go after Obama’s admin and join the ranks of Republicans who can at least agree on protecting us from terrorism.
the system really worked well
it identified the terrorist after the bomb failed to detonate
it arrested the terrorist after he was subdued by a passenger
it notified the POSident 3 hours after the threat had passed
it is now going to keep anyone flying from using their laptops to watch videos or amusements or work on presentations
it is going to confine passengers to their seats and prevent them from using a blanket to warm themselves if they are cold
it is going to prevent passengers from using the restroom without permission from mission control in Houston...maybe we will get catheters when we board
the system is working just fine
its goal is to make sure any terrorist can get on board an airplane by bribing an official at a 3rd world joke airport
and travel to the US without showing a passport
while being on a suspect list
having been warned months in advance of being considered dangerous by the people who should know ... the parents
yes, the system is working just fine.
the only way it could work any better is if Napolitano is kept constantly in flight strapped to her seat and refused to use the potty
that would help
Could we please move this to Breaking News?
Stunningly stupid is all I can think!
I wonder how much of this had to do with that bozo releasing the PDF that contained the TSA screening techniques.
They only way the system worked was if the guy who took action were an air marshall, and I don’t think he was...
You’re right. We need evereyone to see her latest stuoid statements.
And why can someone with no passport get a visa.

I think it would be accurate to say that the “system worked.” It worked in the way that Obama and Napolitano intended it to work, at least.
The system worked? That ignorant bull dike is going to get us all killed.
This admin has made many stupid statements, but this one is quite a doozy!
Just goes to show how stupid they really think the voters are.
However, we do not want her back!
F*ckin unbelievable!!!
If this is true, she's more concerned about the rights of the terrorists than of U.S. citizens...right in line with Obama and Holder!
The system worked because it gave this terrorist a chance to kill us. It isn't Napolitano's problem that he was incompetent.
