First she said "the system worked". Now, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano admits the system failed miserably, but repeatedly points out it was a system put in place while George W. Bush was President. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs made similar statements...

Sooooo- this Nigerian guy bought his ticket before Nov 4 of 2008? From a travel agent that works for Bush?

Nothing like a town full of children who can never step up and take responsibility for their actions- or lack of actions.

Her DHS cronies have been too busy tracking down home grown terrorists like: troops returning from Iraq, gun owners, conservatives and talk-radio hosts to review the 7 year old Bush Admin policies. Maybe Al-Qaeda learned a little about procedures when TSA published their security manuals on-line a while back...what say you Janet?

That one's wearing a little thin, Janet.

YOUR administration screwed up and you know it, but you and your kind are too damned arrogant to take any responsibility.

The Obama Administration worked to re-balance SECURITY and CIVIL RIGHTS. Secretary Janet Napolitano, has your department changed any of the Bush Administration Homeland Security Policies? Answer the question without evasion.

This blaming Bush carp is getting old, real fast. If Obama thought it should have been changed, he’s had a whole year to do it.

We can be certain other attempts were spoiled by Bush’s plans. Thank you, President Bush. Wish you were on watch still

I argee/disagree.

A large number of terrorist plots were stopped by the aggressive reaction of Attorney General Ashcroft,and you can credit W for appointing him.

A somewhat smaller number of terrorist attacks were stopped because hundreds of their hard core leaders spent the Bush years cooling their heels, praying five times a day, in Guantanamo, while tens of thousansds of the foot soldiers who would have carried out these attacks were ripped open by hot American metal in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Nevertheless, he could have done more.

Funny I have not heard anyone respond with “the system worked under Bush. Why isn’t it working with you?”

They cannot be allowed to rewrite that history. Bush kept us safe. The dems did nothing but piss and moan about the human rights of subhuman creatures.

Great idea! This would be excellent for Rush Limbaugh to take on when he comes back next week. We want a date from the Obama administration when they take responsbility.

Thread from yesterday:

Officials: Only A Failed Detonator Saved Northwest Flight

and the article has this note:

and the nation's outdated airport screening machines may need to be upgraded.

That’s not going to fly this time. I just heard on the radio that the state department gave all of the security agencies a heads up on the guy. Not to mention that aq threatened the us just four days earlier

Not gonna work, Pre_ent. YOU are in charge, YOU are making the mistakes, and YOU appointed the morons who are running things now. If there were errors YOU and YOUR puppets should have fixed them.
