Like a football coach trying to explain away the trouncing his team just took by building up the opponent, Janet Napolitano is seeking to diminish the Obama administration’s NWA 253 failure by exaggerating the cunning of the Christmas Day plot.
The hapless Homeland Security head has a 679-word piece in today’s USA Today basically promising to do better. She begins with this line [emphasis added]:
Friday’s attempted terrorist attack against Northwest Flight 253 near Detroit is a powerful illustration that terrorists will go to great lengths to try to defeat the security measures that have been put in place since September 11, 2001.
“Great lengths?” Really? You buy a plane ticket for a kid, stick a few ounces of explosives in his nappies, then hope he’ll make it onboard and remember which end to light.
And far from choosing someone with a good chance of completing his murderous mission, the plotters picked a guy with enough red flags surrounding him to have stocked a May Day parade back in the old Soviet Union. Need we count some of the ways?
- Denied British visa.
- On some kind of US watch list.
- Father warned our embassy and various intel agencies.
- Paid cash.
- One-way ticket.
- No checked luggage.
Napolitano would want us to imagine diabolical masterminds behind a fiendish plot that the Obama admin might be excused for not undoing. But far from demonstrating the “great lengths” to which the terrorists will go, what happened on December 25th illustrates only the deep incompetence of those responsible for stopping it.
Will the MSM note Napolitano’s latest lame excuse? How much longer can she possibly remain in office?
This is what the people get for voting for a Community Organizer who has no experience with the working class. He never held a job where he had to meet payroll nor got his hands dirty. All this piece of garbage knows is how to steal from the teets of the working class and call it justice. those who voted for him believed he was going to give them change. Well how is that change paying your bills now. This low class piece of trash is trying to push Socialism down our throats and is too ignorant to release through history that it does not work. Because of his narcissistic mind he thinks he can come up with a better idea. Someone needs to ask these liberal morons one thing, Are you going to give up all your wealth and let homeless people live in your big expensive houses and donate all your funds to help the poor? Hell no, they will not. But they will take from the hardworking people to give to the lazy ass*** of society who believe they deserve it. Wake up America!!!!! He who earns the fruit of their labor should not have it stolen to give to those who do not earn it. Giving from the heart is one thing but to take and give to those who don’t deserve it is another.
They actually think that tea party participants are more of a threat than any muslim bomber.
Napolitano.
INEPT. or ANTI-AMERICAN.
LC’s ever insightful explanation of the truth we’ll never hear.

The passengers of that flight are the real heroes. The fact that Nappy Janet still has a job is because of these people.
