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."

This gives a whole new meaning to “going Dutch”.

Anything larger? How about they hate us and want to kill us all! I guess that’s not large enough for Janet. How large does she want cuz I’m sure they’re going to take advantage of her naivete.

Some of the live shots showed the airport to be in Romulus, Michigan. Romulus=Rome

Jssper Schuringa could have been killed along with the rest of the plane. Maybe the Dutch guy can sue for his injuries. It’s okay by me.

Per Fox News: The U.S. gave Nigeria 2 of the expensive body scanners. How’s that working out for them? I bet they’re stuck in a warehouse somewhere in Nigeria cuz they aren’t using them. The U.S. also gave Yemen major money to fight terror. How’s that working out for us?

Good tagline. I don’t know how long you’ll be able to keep it though. I read that they’re planning on modifying the system. They want to confine The Dutchman and all other potential heroes to their seats during the final hour of flight. That should effectively prevent this type of incident in the future. We can’t have Flying Dutchmen interfering with the business of terrorists.

"Would that be similar to the system that was “deployed” by PASSENGERS over Shanksville, Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001?!"

This brings to mind this interview of Daniel Pipes way back in 2002:


Education by murder
Daniel Pipes on the slow American awakening

The money quote:

"Pipes calls the reluctant move to belated understanding akin to "education by murder".

However gloomy the picture, Pipes is not ultimately pessimistic. "My most fervent hope is to push things along so we can make the appropriate changes before people get murdered, not after."

Napolitano is living proof that in the Obama administration (abomination), the stupider you are, the higher you can rise in his government.

Welcome to the Twilight Zone. Unfortunately, unless we turn the red tide in 2010, it will be the Twilight Zone for the end of America.

Napolitano: “The system worked”

It is bold in your face lies and outrageous claims such as this one that will be the undoing of the Democratic Party for decades to come.

The only system that worked was Napolitano’s hair color bearing resemblance to her last name and a face that would confuse her for Dick Durbin.

Once again these liberal bastards have lied to our faces. They are so so arrogant and they think us all idiots. I can’t take it anymore. If someone doesn’t step forward and organize people against this government I;ll start packing and move to another country .
Time is right for fighting in the streets

Thank God they are NOT related. Janet’s younger brother is Leonard, Jr.

That being said, siblings can, and usually are, quite different from one another - in my humble experience, another blessing.

Have any of you looked into Eric the Holder’s background and the law firm he belonged to ? Do so ..Tell me he’s innocent of treason. We need to pick targets , he is one of them . He needs to be put out of office .
