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."

The system DID work. BHO’s secret plan is to put Dutch tourists on planes to subdue terrorists.

Eric, I know YOU know about Japan, and you will be interested to know that Jiji Press, Ltd. (equivalent to a major foreign wire service such as AP or Reuters) is running a prominent wire story today here in Japan saying (headline) essentially the terrorist attack on the Northwest flight on Christmas Day highlights the "LAX ATTITUDE THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IS TAKING TOWARD TERRORISM."

I kid you not, this is the exact wording. I will try to get this translated in English and up as a major story on FR tomorrow. The criticism from overseas is starting to come in about Obama and Napolitano, as it should, over this situation and future AQ attacks that are more than likely just around the corner.

Let me ask a dumb question....

Why can’t ALL PEOPLE on ANY KIND of terrorist watch list be on the no fly list? Do we need the travel dollars that badly?

I'm speechless..........

I'm sure every passenger that was on board is running around praising Napolitano for saving their lives.

It really is time to impeach Hussein and the leaders of Congress. Our National Security depends on it.

BS, the passangers saved that plane. DHS had nothing to do with it. Maybe if they would more closely screen middle eastern men, instead of old grey haired white people, they would do a better job.

“So what is the system? Have we been installing a Dutch tourist on each flight?”

That’s the equal protection for terrorists act.

This goof with an islamist extremist background succesfully boarded with explosives an international airliner headed for the United States and attempted to detonate in mid-air, and “the system worked”?

Good grief Charlie Brown...

She could be right ... if "the system" is having a watchful Dutch guy sit behind and to the side of everyone who might be a terrorist on a plane.

““Napolitano: “The system worked”””

They system to create a terrorist act within the continental US so that drastic restrictions to constitutional freedoms can be enacted?
