The incompetence of the inaction and then the response of the Obama administration regarding the recent failed airline terrorist attack are astounding. Janet Napolitano, Homeland Security chief, gave the most lame, inept excuses imaginable. She engenders no confidence by the American people that we are being even adequately protected from terrorist threats. Her “body of work” to date in the Obama Administration has been abysmally dismal, repeatedly reaffirming that she is not qualified for this job and needs to be fired immediately.
If only we could do the same with Obama…
Napolitano Builds Up Undie Bomber: Terrorists Went To 'Great Lengths'
By Mark Finkelstein NewsBusters.org 12-30-2009
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?

It should come as no surprise to anyone that we have become more vulnerable once again to acts of terrorism as evidenced by this near catastrophe on Northwest flight 253. The extreme left Obama Administration has expunged the word “terrorist” from its official vocabulary and in its treatment of security issues. These terrorists have taken note of this weakened position and will relentlessly continue to exploit it. There will not be abatement until we consistently acknowledge their existence and display unwavering resolve to extirpate them. They will only be somewhat dissuaded by a show of unity and power.
In the following video clip from MSNBC, Matt Lauer excoriates Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano for the Obama Administration’s ineptness in this incident. Here was a suspicious Muslim who had already been identified two years ago during the Bush Administration as representing a material threat yet was allowed to board a plane with a one-way ticket paid in cash and without a passport.
Napolitano, as evidenced by abysmal past comments and actions/ inactions, comes across as a feckless, out of touch political appointee who is in way over her head and who is endangering the security of the United States.
