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 worked? The system was a brave passenger diving on top of the guy ready to take him out.

Napolitano is disgusting facist pig. Illegals pour in and they refuse to profile anyone. The passengers saved the day here. I hope we learn who the hero is.

Is this a joke? Surely she can't be serious?

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

If, by “the system”, Napolitano means that fellow passengers rose up and beat the perp’s skinny ass to a pulp, then I agree.

[awestk]

It's not a lie if you believe.

Wear your underwear on the outside so they can check.

Guy gets on an aircraft with a FReeking Bomb, and the system worked?

Well I guess no Muslims were offended or inconvenienced, so in that sense the system worked the way her "stand with them" boss wants it to work.

[mojitojoe]

LOL LOL!!!!

there’s a bunch of them in the white house.

This will be in a campaign ad in 2010 and 2012

Probably not, it will be declared a National Security issue, and no campaign ads, if there is a campaign, will be allowed to mention it.

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

Post of the Day!

[BP2]

Even if “the system” worked as designed, that system obviously failed.

Since she’s in charge of that system, she and her boss are responsible for making sure it actually works.

Sh!t rolls uphill.

[El Gato]

It "worked" because the bomb was a dud.

Not quite a dud, rather a "fizzle". It DID go off, it just didn't go off "high order". If the Dutchman hadn't acted as quickly as he did, the fire might have been unstoppable, and at best we'd be looking at several dozen, or more, smoke inhalation victims. At worst we'd have a burning aircraft, with nearly blind pilots, coming in for an iffy landing over Detroit.

[El Gato]

I want what shes smokin’!

Hopefully a mixture of pot and PETN.

[billhilly]

We do know what she is sniffing.

[xtinct]

Napolitano needs to resign pronto... She clearly put those passengers to Detroit in danger. Something didn't work... so...

Janet needs to put her head between her legs and kiss her @ss goodbye... finite !!

From, Video clip warned of terror attack

.................."In the December 21 video posted on extremist websites affiliated with al Qaida, a bearded man in head-dress, identified as Mohammed al-Kalwi, says: "We are carrying a bomb to hit the enemies of God. O soldiers, you should learn that we do not want to fight you, nor do we have an issue with you. We only have an issue with America and its agents, and beware of standing in the ranks of America."".....................

The system worked????!!!!!!!
