"The System Worked..." Heck of a job Janet!From Eric Dondero:
Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano may have just had a "Brownie moment." In 2005, during the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, President Bush visited Louisiana and pronounced to his own FEMA Director: "You're doing a heckuva job Brownie."
DHS Director Napolitano was interviewed on CNN by Candy Crowley on Sunday.
From the LA Times:
Napolitano, speaking on CNN's "State of the Union," said it was too early to speculate on the claims of Al Qaeda connections made by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the 23-year-old Nigerian held in connection with the incidentThe Secretary then went onto to give an inarticulate response to a question by Crowley as to how this was allowed to happen.
Napolitano said that "right now we have no indication that it is part of anything larger."
From Politico.com:Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Sunday that the thwarting of the attempt to blow up an Amsterdam-Detroit airline flight Christmas Day demonstrated that "the system worked."Libertarian-conservative Jonah Goldberg blogs at NRO in response:
Asked by CNN's Candy Crowley on "State of the Union" how that could be possible when the young Nigerian who has been charged with trying to set off the bomb was able to smuggle explosive liquid onto the jet, Napolitano responded: "We're asking the same questions."
Napolitano added that there was "no suggestion that [the suspect] was improperly screened."
I watched her on three shows and each time she was more annoying, maddening and absurd than the pevious appearance. It is her basic position that the "system worked" because the bureaucrats responded properly after the attack...
That is just about the dumbest thing she could say... the attack was "foiled" by a bad detonator and some civilian passengers... DHS had no role whatsoever in assuring that this bomb didn't go off.
If the White House wants to assure people that it takes the war on terror seriously... they could start by firing this patenly unqualified hack.

Every picture I have seen of this bitch, looks like she is on thorazine.
Never thought I would say this, but damn how I miss George Bush.
Janet Reno's little sister.
Bozo the Clown could run Homeland Security better. The terrorists own father warned our government, and they still let him get this far. It seems like the Obama administration doesn't want to make the tough decisions to prevent these attacks. This is twice now--both similar stories that have Americans asking how did it get this far when they knew so much.
It's not only Obama's administration or our government, but the dutch as well. It seems you probably could get a nuke through dutch security. No wonder that country is going down the drain, faster than we are.
Another example in a very long list of federal government failures. When young I was confident national, state and local leaders and the agencies they oversaw were effective and worthy of respect. Experience has proven me wrong. No wonder the country and I are evolving into libertarian tea party supporters. Tax half of a citizen's income and in return suffer incompetence, ignorance and arrogance.
