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."

I bet the ONE would have the audacity to blame Bush fir the attacks, seeing how under 8 years the Muslims were oppressed and they wanted revenge on the evil Bush.

“The system worked”. Is she saying the Dutch guy was an undercover Air Marshall? Or deputized afterwards?

Ms. N needs to be pinkslipped already! How many attempts now on her watch?!

Let us review.

The system worked when it allowed a sophisticated plastice on the plane...only 3 ounces needed to take down the aircraft.

The system worked and the attempted bombing was an isolated attempt when a 23 year old student, rich kid acquired a sophisticated detonation device Soviet styled primer and put the bomb together.

The system is working when Ms.Nepalotano stands before the citizens of this country and lies straight faced to us.

Ms.Napolitano...will you take me out for dinner and a movie? Will you kiss me?....Why? That is what I want when someone is trying to do sex with me (Saturday Night Live).

Consider this. Do you believe the perpetrator saying he is working as a radicalized al Quada, or do you believe our own government....sadly, I don't believe our own government.

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

You know what, you are probably RIGHT! The family of four with little babies will be given the 3rd degree all because the TSA can't profile!

HOLD ON THERE

We have to try to be as accurate as possible.

It looks like she just said the RESPONSE SYSTEM worked:

Homeland Security chief: No sign airplane attack part of larger plot

Despite a possible tragedy, Napolitano said the response system worked as passengers and crew avoided panic and subdued the suspect while authorities notified other flights in the air and kept the air transport system operating.

While I believe it is naive for her suggest he acted alone, she did say:
"Right now we have no indication that it is part of anything larger," Napolitano told CNN's "State of the Union" program.

Well, in this case, in fairness to Candy Crowley, she did challenge the administration.

If it worked then why did he have what he did and why was he allowed on the plane.

I wonder what Butch would have said if this turned into a tragedy, “the system worked?”

Geesh.

This woman confirms our suspicion that among all the demonrats, there are only two or three functioning IQ points. Amazing.

When someone is confused about something as simple and obvious as what her sexual apparatus is for, one would expect her to be confused about a lot of things.

The sad thing is that Rush is on vacation for a couple weeks. He should come back for an hour tomorrow to do a mini live show and talk about this.
