Sen. Joe Lieberman's (I., Conn.) Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee is the third Congressional body to announce that it will hold hearings on the Flight 253 attack:
The hearing will focus on the security measures the alleged bomber, 23-year-old Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab, evaded in bringing explosives onboard the plane.
"We were very lucky this time, but we may not be so lucky next time, which is why our defenses must be strengthened," said committee Chairman Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) in a statement. "I view Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab as a terrorist who evaded our homeland security defenses and who would have killed hundreds of people if the explosives he tried to detonate had worked."
Presumably, Secretary Napolitano will be in attendence. Let us hope that Lieberman and the Republicans on the committee give her ample opportunity to further...clarify her assertions that “the system worked.”
She’s gone. She’ll never live down that comment that the system worked. It reflects a person that is absolutely clueless. You can’t make that comment with an IQ over 70.
The guy set the damned device off. If it had worked properly, that plane would have gone down.
System worked? Astonishing!
Homeland Nappy sez: "The system worked. . . . No, wait! The system FAILED! Of course. . . . It didn't work, it failed. Bigtime. My words were taken out of context. . . . Yeah, and we're, uh, we're undertaking a comprehensive review--a COMPREHENSIVE . . . REVIEW--of all the, uh, policies and procedures that we inherited from THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION, and, uh. . . . OUR system will really WORK!"
Perhaps I’m looking at this the wrong way. This system did almost work if you’re pro terrorist. Maybe she just slipped into the wrong mode in front of the wrong group.
Don't blame me for that horrible apostrophe. It was that way when I stole the picture.
Well-done, at least.
He's angry that Obama is not even keeping his Democrat-controlled Congress informed of what's going on, and that they might get a briefing on Ft. Hood sometime in January.

She will survive and inturn be promoted. Mistakes and incompetence are the great equilizers with democratz/commies. good intentions are only what matter .... you don’t have to look at results .... see New Orleans, Detroit, Philly, the Magic Mullah .... FDR, and LBJ
With lemon butter or just a marinate?
Do you serve fava beans and a nice red wine???
Grilled Napolitano — must be some form of chicken....
The sad irony is that by the time this is over with, we will know more about the background of this bomber than we know about Obama.
carpet munchin lesbos??? maybe....
Bull Dykes????....probably
But wenches????? I think not....
Anyone know if this ludicrous joke of a failure in Homeland Security along with her boss, the Muslim Messiah, are going to require each airline passenger to wear Depends during an airline flight so we can go in our Depends rather than use the restrooms on our flight?
Hey morons, call the Mossad and find out how to profile the enemy.
Takes me back to the day the Bush declared that Brownie was doing a good job. He never recovered and she shouldn't.
As a vagitarian, Janet would not be pleased with this suggestion.
Your home will be surrounded at 3 am tomorrow morning. Drop the weapon and come out with your hands up.

We need to win both houses in November, so we can have “ real hearings”.
