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."

These people make me ILL to my stomach. They are going to have hundreds of gallons of red American and visiting foreigners' blood on their hands within a year, I predict, on our own soil if they don't wise up YESTERDAY and start in with the "El-Al system". And they will have every excuse in the world why they are not at fault after such an attack--even though they will be at fault. An honorable even if incompetent Japanese government official in charge of national security on watch and overseeing such administrative errors during such a disaster would go home and hang himself in solitary remorse over the death of innocents on his hands. Within three nights after such an aircraft explosion by a terrorist in American skies, why these pathetic little Beltway people will be laughing and yucking it up oover during Happy Hour at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse on Connecticut Avenue. Most civil societies would react and physically remove such people from positions of authority and run them out of town on a rail in civilized, olden days.

Instead, we will probably subjected to TSA *testes checks* right there in the airport, even for 90 year old American Christian geezers and Medal of Honor winners, but they won't lift a hand--under threat of a CAIR lawsuit--to check under some Third World muslim jehadist's abaya or hijab.

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

Yep - the system is "random citizens who don't want to die in a plane crash and are willing to get hurt or burned"... It works. Airport Security is a system to provide jobs for dems.

[shibumi]

I deal with the public - “his” public.

Your percentages are way low.

[surfer]

Yes of course it worked...it is functioning exactly how these traitors want it to work. They give the terrorists the best chance for success by setting everyone else up!

We need to take our country back!!!

[Blue Highway]

I think Candy was hoping to get a bowl of Napolitano’s Neopolitan ice cream at the end of the interview.

[ErnBatavia]

smarter than this woman.

Woman?? Hell, she's probably had more p*ssy than Tiger Woods.

[Salamander]

Or “An albatross flew into the engine.”

I wonder how much cash found its way to secret Swiss band accounts? ( Just wondering)

"The system worked"

Janet Napolitano == An Anal Jet Option

[Nuc1]

The system couldn't have worked. It didn't catch the military vet or American patriot that are the real terrorists. The system obviously racially profiled a young muslim male and made him the perp.

Do I need a /s tag?

[NotSoModerate]

Well her comments leave only two possibilities:

1.) She’s really stupid.
Or
2.) She thinks we’re really stupid.

[abclily]

Well, I think BarakO knows what he is doing. See how much time he spent on the latest act of terrorism? Less than he spent on the terrorism at Fort Hood. BarakO is all wee-weed up that the bomber failed. Look out for the next one!

[Tarpon]

Or how many cushy jobs await those who get defeated in the upcoming elections.

The good news is it’s getting very clear to more and more people the evil that is afoot.

[Grampa Dave]

She may beyond incompetent.

She may be another liberal traitor to America due to her hatred of what is good about America and forgetting the evil of the darkside, the Islamofascists who want to kill us.

Yesterday, I had a fairly hot discussion about Napolitano with a liberal we know.

I made the statement that N had focused on the wrong people, vets from past wars and from Iraq/Afghanistan.

The liberal went beserk and said she was correct and tried to use the example of the whacko who killed the abortionist doctor. This Liberal then claimed that right wing whacko vets/Christians like me were the most dangerous people in America.

I got her in a moment of rant to say I should be on the watch lists because I was a veteran, a Christian and a right wing conservative.

I ended her screaming fit, by telling her to put her money where her mouth was. I would give her a thousand dollars for every act of terrorism committed by guys like me if she would give me a thousand dollars for every act of terrorism committed by the insane serial killers and wannabe killers of the Islamo side.

Of course she refused to make that bet. When she said no, I said “This conversation was over and any future ones with you!”

[Darnright]

>I swear these people WANT something to happen!!<

Hey, never let a crisis go to waste!

[SteveAustin]

I heard Janet say the same thing on Meet the Press and was speechless.

Nothing worked. And as they say on Powerline, in the weeks to come we’ll find out that the new Muslim friendly TSA is letting guys like our Nigerian friend board all sorts of airplanes.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

...stuoid statements.

I honestly thought that was "stupid on steroids"!

[kcvl]

According to mouthpiece Gibbs, the screening system is several years old. In other words, it’s George Bush’s fault!

[BykrBayb]

Not to worry. I understand there are updates coming to the system. The military vet, American patriot, and anyone else who might attempt to thwart future terrorist attacks will be confined to their seats during the last hour of flight. That should take care of the “problem.”
