Fire Napolitano

National Review ^

After suffering under Napolitano for about six years, I had the impression that she is a very bright democrat politician. That does not make for a good head of homeland security. She is very good at figuring out how much she can advance socialist ideas without getting diselected, and smart enough to bail out of Arizona politics before the disastrous effects of her policies hit the State.

At understanding long term problems and determining ways to deal with them, I think she does not have a clue. Her entire political existence is based on the negation of reality.

“Noooo, how about THREE!”

Right, I did forget that.

Well, the US military is not entrenched in bureaucratic mire in Afghanistan with the various “permissions” needed for the general CYA mode the bureaucracy operates in.

The military overall, DOES have the objective of killing the enemy and WINNING the war, therefore, as much as it can avoid being restrained by the bureaucrats, it is able to be accountable and more efficient.

A good, solid B+

Back when she was Attorney General before she became governor, she personally decided to represent Arizona during a USSC case in which my father’s murderer was appealing. My victim’s advocate (who is now the head of Victim Witness in AZ and good guy) told me the details before the case went to court, but Ms. Napolitano was “too busy” to meet with me.

“If the White House wants to assure people that it takes the war on terror seriously (a term Robert Gibbs used this morning by the way), they could start by firing this patenly unqualified hack.”

Be careful what you wish for, Jonah. The next replacement might be the president of La Raza.
