Have to ask Janet "The System Worked" Napolitano.

"DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano said that the thwarting of the attempt
to blow up the Amsterdam-Detroit flight this week demonstrated that
"the system worked."

Asked by CNN's Candy Crowley on "State of the Union" how that could be
possible when the young Nigerian who sought to set off the bomb was
able to smuggle explosive liquid onto the flight, Napolitano
responded: "We're asking the same questions."

Let me see if I got this right - an admitted jihadist, father warned
DHS and FBI, he got on a flight with explosives and injectable ignitor
fluid, was on a watch list and still got a visa, almost set one of the
devices off, was subdued by the passengers until landing.

Yep - the system worked alright - perfectly if you live in Obamaland
where everything is a B+ effort and George Orwell is your language
expert.

You know - I'm normally incredulous about some of the things that
politicians say and do because most of them are morons, but this is so
outrageous, it's incomprehensible.

She needs to be fired and fired now. That's twice under her watch
something has gone hideously wrong on an air plane and passengers have
had to take action.



She was talking about the reaction after there was a security breach. The
plane landed safely. Additional safety measures are being put in place,
something that should have been done during the last administration. This
has been a known problem for quite a while.

If anything, she's guilty of mis-speaking, so you should probably take a
chill pill.
