This is either the most incredible act of chutzpah or ignorance from this administration yet.
From Politico: Napolitano: “The system worked”
It’s a short article, so I’ll quote the whole thing:
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.”
Napolitano added that there was “no suggestion that [the bomber] was improperly screened.”
And what “system” is this? Individual initiative of a passenger? Incompetence of a jihadi?
And what precisely does that last sentence mean? That everything is hunky-dorey because he wasn’t profiled?
Napolitano needs to meet the bus. It’s bad enough when you’re ideologically blinkered, but she’s a general purpose moron on top of it.
