So am I....at the fact that a CNN reporter actually dared to ask a Democrat a tough question.
So what is the system? Have we been installing a Dutch tourist on each flight?
...this stupid woman!...it “worked” only because PASSENGERS defended themselves.
The country is in the best of hands.
Janet Napolitano = Bhagdad Bob
What system?
If she defines the system as one where terrorists are allowed to smuggle then detonate explosive devices aboard airplanes, then by all accounts she’s right. Amazing.
The passengers worked- at that, it seems primarily only one of them.
Ask Napolitano about the citizenry growing a pair and see what she has to say about that.
Oh good. Now that we know that vigilantism is part of the official government “system” (because that was the ONLY thing that worked on that plane), we can start fixing this problem the right way!
(Note: I’m not denouncing vigilantism. I’m denouncing the insane concept of “letting the pros handle it”.)
Janet has as must handle on reality as any other liberal. ZERO!
Breathtaking.
So we spend billions for airport security that ultimately relies on unpaid passengers to actually keep the plane from being blown up? That is the system that “worked”?
You mean the “refuse to profile or stop known terrorists from flying and depend on passengers to stop the bomber seconds from detonation” plan.
Worked like a charm.
Of course, it helps to be backed up by the “plane blows up and burning bits of aircraft and people fall out of the sky” plan.
Napolitano should be run out of town on a rail.
Thank you, Madame Secretary.
You have now exceeded every dumbass thing Obama, Summers, Romer etc have said the entire year of 2009. And I didn’t think that was possible!
WITHOUT THE INTERVENTION OF PASSENGERS, WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT A PLANE, COMING DOWN ON THE CITY OF DETROIT...IN TWO GIANT PIECES. ON CHRISTMAS DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW IS THAT “THE SYSTEM WORKED????”
good grief
Napolitano: Incompetent or Evil or both = Dangerous!
Same here.
So....if every single security system put in place to thwart a terrorist fails, and we are reduced to random members of the public (who had absolutely NOTHING to do with the government’s security systems) stopping a terrorist, that is equivalent to the system “working”?
On what planet is Napolitano living on?
The people running our country all all self-deluding idiots.
This will be in a campaign ad in 2010 and 2012. The ineptitude is stratospheric.
