  • Double taking bitch.....

    

  • I think a bunch of AQAP lead people get on youtube to make Americans express to them how the system works, and its political status, by trolling people with Alex Jones material and hyperbole. They do frustrate people against their own countries. (shrugs)

    And did you ever stop to think that Hilary Clinton wants the presidential seat? She wanted Ghaddafi dead. She also says the same hyperbole that every dumb democrat is saying. People believing her statement about 911 is absurd.

  • Chaz Napolitano in San Francisco? That's veeeery suspicious.

  • I see something suspicious again. And that suspicion is Chaz Napolitano. She is making me suspicious that she's a he.

  • Did U know I am a CROOK and so is ERIC & BARACK- yes we ALL knew about Fast & FURIOUS but we were told by Mr"O" to say "WE DONT KNOW NUTTIN" and thats our story & we are stickin to it- anyway Pelosi & Reid R helping to cover-up our crimes- maybe we can blame all this on Bush-

  • Hillary Clinton has recently admitted that they (the U.S. gov't and the CIA) created Al-Qaeda. So now they are combating their own creation. Terrorists use military planes, not passenger planes. That's just bogus. The underwear bomber was set-up, scripted and filmed. It was a ruse to support their agenda. The suicide bomber suspects of 911 were all interviewed and found to be in their own countries -- at school or at work when the drone planes hit the Towers, which imploded just like Bldg 7.

  • janet nippletano looks suspicous im calling al queda.... i mean dhs

  • THE SYSTEM IS BROKE, JANET. AND YOU ARE ONE OF THE REASONS WHY!!!

  • If you aid muslim terrorists, you are an accomplice. Janet Napolitano is an accomplice to the takeover of America. That's called TREASON, TREASON, TREASON, TREASON, TREASON, TREASON, TREASON, TREASON, TREASON !!!

  • LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR.... I just flew 3 weeks ago... there is NO WAY you are getting explosives onto a plane... With the little wiper pads they test and the pat-downs, metal detectors, scanners, ect. you are not going to get a PEPSI onto a plane much less explosives. I couldn't even get my lighter home from when I flew home from A-school, much less a freaking bomb. LIES LIES LIES.... I will never believe a word she says EVER. (Fast and furious / napolitano ) look it up.

  • Yeah, let's not get into the watch list because she/he's still deciding whether to put you on it. If you ask any difficult questions, she might go ahead. But I doubt that's going to happen with a US news anchor.

  • You need a detonator, not a match. Duh!

  • When the strap ons break out, do you pitch or catch? The ATF allows machine guns to be sold to Mexican drug dealers for two years while you've been in charge at Homeland Terrorism for two years. That is TREASON. You co-conspired with John Roll in 27 Rico Statute criminal enterprises. That is TREASON. After watching your performance over the last two years, who needs a fucking Constitution anyways? Lezzy tex-mex

  • She's incompetent. 

  • This women (?) is a TREASONOUS. We KNOW from recent history that the terrorist threat is from the US government and the Israelis (Al-qaida).

    watch: "911 Missing Links"

  • Thank you Arizona.

  • Was Napolitano once a man? Ugliest and scariest looking man-woman to walk the earth. YUK!!!

  • did they just pick her up off the street and give her this job? She looks fucking homeless and she knows just about as much as a hobo.

  • To all of those who think we do not live in a police state, copy & paste this vid onto the search box.

    watch?v=cP5LOKVgqXA

  • *wears

  • Big sis where's leather

  • This is why the U.S. is in deep trouble

  • The lipstick and leather jacket doesnt help Jack.. We know you are a man...

  • What a complete and utter moron... Fire this woman ASAP and put a retired general or colonel in this position!!!!

  • Google al-cia-da

  • Google " alex jones obama deception"

  • Napolitano has no clue how to conduct effective security. All she does is respond to past events and hassle the innocent flyers in order to create a show. She should volunteer herself, in public, for all the groping procedures that normal citizens go though at the check points.

  • why do we even bother questioning the govt. i can always predict what they'll say, and what the interviewers will ask....never anything illuminating....never....just boring noise

  • Janet Napoli-penis.

  • Janet Napolitano is a skunk!

  • Janet Napolitano is hilarious.

  • I cannot stand this napolitano bitch.. i think hilary clinton would have done a better job at this.. napolitanos is the same dumb beaver that aid all troops all veterans are more likely to commit felony crimes.. what kinda of Shit is that.. shes in charge of our security.. Fire the damn bitch shes fucking useless

  • Janet Napolitano has to be the stupidest cunt in politics!

  • can you picture napolitano with her strapp on dildoh at home

  • Dyke!

  • Pause at 0:35 and look this bitch in the eyes. If you people do not see the truth, you are fucking blind.

  • DHS and Napolitano are the actual terrorists

  • How did these morons get in power?

  • god bless the u.s.a hahahah suckers

  • Reptillian

  • Janet Incompetano is Janet Renos little brother.

  • janet you should be fired you have failed our national security too many times and this radical muslim terrorist almost made it out of the country,,,and where was the great homeland security when this vehicle was left in times square by a paki terrorist? just like the president and all of his administration you are a failure. the terrorists now have confirmed they have free run of our nation!

  • What a dumb dike bitch!

  • There is no Al-Qaeda. This is all pre-planned theater. This is done by omission. There are countless provocations for making mortal enemies generated by US commissioned hit men, US Military torture squads working surreptitiously with Local Law Enforcement death squads. The Intels' of our "nation" then pick people that are good death robots. They will bring this person to "Islamists" who "get them back"/ "rescue them", and they in turn have the perfect assasin for CIA usage. Hmm...sound familiar?

  • This, is a ...woman?

    No wonder she is an idiot...... she is easily confused with current, accurate, data and she still doesn't get it!

    You can't fix stupid!

  • She looks like a serial killer

  • Janet Nacrapalotto is a cool dude!

  • @jclemens1970 Haaahahahaha! yeh! i get that too. Good catch! Not her...your insights. Please. Yechh! What freakin' planet do these beings of sorts come from?

  • Janet Napolitano was talking to Al Qaeda when she said the system worked.... read between the lines.

  • Of course she was! She was talking to Al SkullBone, aka Al-KidYou, Al-CIA Loyal to LondonBanks, aka, Al Archon, Spiritual Wickedness in High Places Regime, aka Al Rulers of the Darkness of this World, and Al-NewZion Collection of False Christian Leadership/ Zionist World Hatred, aka Al-Nazi "vee're cooming bock" via Al-Big Corporations League, Al-Kommunista, Al-The Kids are All White, etc.etc. The whole thing designed to divide an conquer one group of dupes from another. She was talking alright.

  • Napolitano should be fired. What would she have

    said if the terroist wasn't foiled by passengers?

    She can't even stay awake during a national address.

  • it just goes to show you bad thinking sprouts bad hair.

  • Give her a break, she is busy tracking right wing citizens...you know, the "extremists" who express concerns about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion and the loss of US Sovereignty. Oh, the most dangerous among us, the defenders of our Constitution, returning war veterans, the "enemy camp" at West Point. E*ic H*lder is busy gathering info from ISP's like IP#'s, names, SS#'s etc, without warrants, violating our First Amendment rights!

  • Not to be competitive.They hate us worse. I don't even have to have a bumper sticker. Nothing like an old Commie type that read The UNSEEN HAND, and guess what? Knows its true. It is too. We are up against a "Royal-Entitled" blood swilling group of degenerates.Blood lines that will use anyone, any group, any race, any nation, at anytime for their agendas. David Icke has it right in so many areas. I prayed to my Lord and Real Royal Jesus Christ and I have to say even most of Christianity is lost.

  • @distressed7 the liberal left hates the christian followers and loves dictators,radical muslims,terrorists and citizens who need them,they want 20% at the top and 80% dependant on govt. for everything.Govt has taken over most of our nation with bailouts of the unions,car co's,banks,financial institutions,student loans,healthcare,and they will not stop until they control America

  • i thought the system was surpossed to work before the attack not after the attack , this women is clueless

  • They ripped me off $460.00, the system worked there..huh.

  • "The system worked". Yeah right lady.  I don't know what planet she was on but I don't think anyone is going there with her!

  • Janet Napolitano is a man made disaster

  • They -the obama administration- want to kill all us, they do not care about the people, I promise you, they are crazy hardcore eugenists, they just want to be rich without any inconvenient or opinion but you have the very last opportunity to save yourself.

  • Let's be honest...all failed terrorist attacks in their lasts stages has been stoped by civilians. That's the truth including one airplane in the 911.

    Anyway, the potencial dangers were very low, just thousands of deads, not a WMD attack...

    Better ignore these people...

  • She is a joke...I'd be embaressed if a 6 yr old was this dumb...put aside the political correctness and get a qualified person in charge

  • You can't take liquids on the plane but you have all the water and privacy you need in the restroom. I still don't feel safe.

  • The watch list means, they watch you get on the plane with a bomb.

  • IT WORKED? HAHAHAHA A FUCKING MUSLIM GOT ON A PLANE WITH A BOMB YOU DUMB BITCH!!!! HAHAHAHAH AND WE KNEW ABOUT HIM WAY BEFORE HAND... THIS BITCH ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE SHIT THAT IS NOW IN THE WHITE HOUSE NEED TO BE TAKEN DOWN...,(guess i just made her watch list...but what do i care? they dont read it!!!!! hahahahaha dumb liberal fucks

  • Janet, you're doing a heck of a job.

  • disgusting ugly skunk headded piece of shit. 'sytem worked'.  ya, 300 Americans were almost offed. system worked. odd definition this abortion has of the system working.

  • She is the female version of Homer Simpson. DOH!

  • hey vbelle6,why dont you go to hell and whether you know it or not bush is gone this is odumba's war now.

  • how safe do you feel with these idiots in charge? including the community organizer we now call president,they all need to go and the sooner the better,this woman is a total moron and doesn't have clue

  • Napolitano is an idiot.

    Which is why,

    she fits so nicely into the Obama Administration.

  • This is a case study of how a soulless politician speaks. She is a politician who talks a lot and says nothing of value. Disgusting.

  • @modcit Im guess you would say the same thing if it were an FBI director on that screen. I mean, they are part of the judicial system. Shes right. Homeland's focus is on things more thoroughly ahead than just a single investigation. Its left for the justice department, Homeland now goes back to doing their jobs. And if the justice department needs information from Homeland, they'll get it. How hard is that to understand?

  • The explosion failed because the guy pissed himself when he lit the fuse. :-))

  • It's no wonder we're the laughing stock of the world and nobody takes us seriously!

    You take Obama and Napolitano and then add the Safe School Czar and you have the three stooges in real time!

    Our enemies are slapping each other on the back and exclaiming how easy the next terrorist attacks are going to be.

  • Incompetent just isn't a strong enough word to describe this horrendous secretary of homeland security. She should be fired immediately.

    Not only are her comments totally outrageous and incompetent, they are criminally negligent. She wreaks of being the kind of person that Obama and his coons are allied with. Open your eyes folks and open the well, the administration we have running our country are as much our enemies as any terrorist or dictatorship regime is.

  • @Shinerbop

    It's not incompetence.

  • @Shinerbop She's doing what she's expected to do; take US citizens liberties away and stop people having freedom of speech and assembly. You guys have to get rid of these corporatists. Vote Ron Paul or independents. I can only comment and sit back and watch. Sadly, voting in another country's elections isn't allowed. But hell, if Obama can become president, perhaps I can and no one will want proof of my nationality...

  • Like the entire Obama administration she is nothing but buzz words and hot air. She appears fairly unconcerned, as if this was no big deal. She doesn't even know what she's saying: "We have no suggestion [he] was improperly screened." IS SHE FUCKING STUPID?!! HE GOT ON BOARD A PLANE WITH EXPLOSIVES!!

  • Cheney/Bush doctrine caused the whole world to resent us because of the Iraq war. How could the US invade Iraq and kill thousands of innocent civilians and destroy a country using faulty or fabricated intelligence?

    Today educated men including Umar Farouk Abdulmutallah (flight 253) practicing the Muslin faith around the world are answering the recruitment calls of Al-Qaida and other terrorist groups based on their perceptions of the unjust Bush/Cheney war.

    Vera Richardson

  • who is that dude? what happened to Napolitano?

  • LOL, an insult to dudes though.

  • When she said in april,american soldiers,returning from battle, should be watched closely because they might join"right wing"groups,SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMMEDIATLY FIRED! Although she shouldn't have been in the job IN THE FIRST PLACE! The same goes for her INCOPETANT COMMUNITY ORGANIZING BOSS! Obozo's quote,"judge me buy the people who SURROUND ME"! This man needs to be thrown out of the white house! Not tommorrow but YESTERDAY!

  • "the system worked" because his bomb didn't light?!!? wtf is she talking about the only reason we don't have 150 dead people are are hands is because his fucking match broke. She needs to take responsibility for this and start implementing full body scanners despite what overly sensitive people say

  • @masterconman31 ,don't forget about the dutch guy.I guess napolitano is counting on there being a hero passenger on every flight.

  • Assident Hussein Obama's security Czar.

  • Search for the video :Dick Cheney and Nancy Pelosi, the blink-off. It is a riot.

  • This is what happens when you ask an idiot a logical question. "It worked". He idea of a working plan...terrorist sneaks explosives onto a jet...terrorist fails to ignite explosives..."the system worked". I SEE HER POINT OF VIEW.

  • A token unqualified female appointment by Obama. About three more years until we vote this mess out.

  • Another example of the kind of Tax Cheat, Socialist, Communist, Van Jones type of liberals that Obama has running this country.

    How's that Change workin' for you now?

  • she looks like a lesbian

  • Remember there are two types of Lesbians...the kind that we watch on videos ... and her type. YUCK!

  • Imbecile = A person of moderate to severe mental retardation having a mental age of from three to seven years and generally being capable of some degree of communication and performance of simple tasks under supervision. The term belongs to a classification system no longer in use and is now considered offensive.

    JANET NAPOLITANO is an Imbecile...

  • Janet Napolitano has not idea of how much this "ONE" incident was worth. She seems like she wants President Obama to do all the talking. But when it's her turn to talk she's all tongue tied. What government system relies on the civilians to do thier jobs?

  • incompetent idiot. get her out of there. resign

  • obama attacks the CIA to cover his own ass while 8 CIA agents are blown to bits in afghanistan by a suicide bomber.That's not leadership,in my opinion.

  • "Big Sis" 'Incompetano' says don't worry, the system worked. Welcome America to your ObamaNation!

  • He was screened properly... great work lady...

    And this was only one guy. Its not like EVERYONE is doing this... great work lady...

    Fire this piece of shit!

  • Napolitano IS a Man-Made Disasters

    Hey, 'reach out' for this...

  • "The system worked" ... the is some sorta Orwellian lie. The passenger(s) saved the bacon here. The system was a failure. Does Nepolitano call this a human disaster? When did she become an total and complete idiot. Elections have consequences.

  • The airline deserves a lot of blame also. The guy bought a one-way ticket with cash and no luggage.

    This should have raised some flags.

  • just listen to this liar,dont you feel safe with this piece of shit in charge of National Security, and our commander in chief is a muslim....smooth move electing this band of morons,muslims,thugs and anti American punks. I wouldn't trust my dog's safety with janet incompetano

  • @ajack50 because of this guy janet ....i can't bring an umbrella to time square!!! but..i bet if there was a muslim wearing a burqa (mobile tent) they would be fine!!!

  • @ajack50

    republicans pretty much have no chance of winning their power back coz they get sidetracked so easily by irrelevant distractions like barack's a muslim, gay marriage, oh did you hear what hugo chavez called bush, etc.

  • Top administration officials & JN think the bungled bombing was thwarted by a US system that works. But the UK would not accept this passenger; his father reported worrisome activities to the US, he gained access to the plane without a passport & checked no luggage; paid cash for the ticket &mpassengers stopped him. So the system worked? In fact the entire system systemically failed. JN & others need to resign. The US needs a functioning security system. Large, changes are sorely needed.

  • "Only one person." That's all it takes. What a dumbass.

    Where's Hillary? This was an epic failure of The State Deptartment. Where's Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod? Obama was MIA for three days and after hearing his speeches, I think he's STILL MIA.

    That closet they're all hiding in must be getting pretty crowded.

  • What the passengers stopping the terrorist shows, is how the actions of the People works better than that of the Government.

  • Guy gets on the plane with no passport ,he's on the terror watch list ,got a bomb on the plane ,almost detonated it had it not been for a civilian jumping the guy , and all this useless pile of crap can come up with is " The system worked"???I don't know how you yank's can put up with this shit ! Absolutely insanity.

  • what a moron and inexperieced just like the entire obummer clan. you voters were duped,this administration is the worst in our 200 year history and they just got started. Good bye America ,this man has done more to inflict violence in this nation in such a short period of time,he has emboldened all of the terrorists in the world showing we are now weak and powerless,nice job obummer

  • Comment removed

  • "The system worked"

    Further solidifying the hard truth that limousine liberals have no concept of work.

    I liked her better in "Three's Company"

  • How did this fat Liza Minnelli look-a-like get a job that she is obviously unqualified for? How does a state Attorney General obtain the job to be over Homeland Security and not have any security experience? She needs to resign now. This is the same Libtard who put out the memo saying we should be worried about "right-wing extremists" and who refuses to use the phrase "war on terror" because her boss, Obama, wants to suck ass to the towel head Muslims. We are in trouble under Obama the appeaser

  • @NCMan28025

    It takes a lot of practice, time and money to attain the level of Napolitano's 'circle speak.' (AKA - BULLSHIT) Phillip Seymour Hoffman's character in Charlie Wilson's War offers hope when he says in response to 'Who's we?' Gus. 'Me and three other guys.'

    In the mega billion Bureaucracy v Terrorist theater - the terrorists are still able to mess us up big time. Our approach is wrong. Gotta get smarter and smaller. I hope that instinct is alive and well in the US.

  • "all 128 flights in the air?????"

    Is this lady for real?

    She is a clueless dolt!

  • Heck of a job Nappie! We're so screwed.

  • a statement Obama made on Nov. 21, 2007, while taking calls on New Hampshire Public Radio: I truly believe that the day Im inaugurated, that not only does the country look at itself differently, but the world looks at America differently. If Im reaching out to the Muslim world, they understand that Ive lived in a Muslim country and I may be a Christian, but I also can understand their point of view.

  • That "System" that she brags about working, encompasses not just what happens afterwards, but more importantly, what went on prior to the incident. It's very disingenuous to claim that since things worked after the fact, that the entire system worked. It obviously failed miserably.

  • The Gitmo detainees are celebrating homecoming in Yemen today! Good work, Obama!

  • I'll bet you he bows toward mecca and prays to allah 5 times a day. Time will come when we bow and pray to allah or someone will be holding our heads and cheering. All I can say is those 70 virgins won't be waiting for them. Big surprise to them and a little too late.

  • Go ahead and close Gitmo you fools, send them all to Yemen and see what comes back to bite you in the ass. Under this administration we're all going to be blown to bits but we'll have great health care.

  • We won't even have great health care. The government will screw it up like everything else they touch...Medicare/Medicaid/Soci­al Security/VA/Post Office...just to name a few. We are in deep trouble with these liberal loons running our national security.

  • I said great with tongue-in-cheek. We are in deep trouble with these liberal loons running our country let alone running our national security. As far as green house gas goes every time Obama opens his mouth he pours more of it into the atmosphere. Can we survive the next three years?

  • Just ask Google, Inc -- 500 thousand, or even 900 thousand is not a big number at all to a computer search. A database that size can be queried before the suspect is finished swiping his ticket.

  • Go Janet! Girl we know you have our backs. I feel safe just knowing everything worked as it should. I no longer fly, Period. I'll take my chanced on driving and Motel 6. At least they leave a light on for me! I love obama more and more everyday.

  • Sarcasm, right? No doubt! I don't think I'd have the stomach to type that last sentence........

    I'm almost to the point of avoiding planes, too; but, if it's necessary I'll do it. Meanwhile, I'm thankful to have a reliable car to get where I want/need to be.

  • Sarcasm, You bet. Obama will put America right where he wants it. IN THE TOILET. He makes me sick to my stomach. I'd rather eat soup made from a hospital mop as have him as my president. I'm semi-retired, and he is cutting $500,000,000,000.00 from my medicare.I have a small business and we just lost a good employee and can't purchase a new van for the business. His new taxes will probably put us O/O/B. He will eventually do things that his voters wont like, then I will celebrate. US is Bankrupt.

  • The system worked? Oh My God, if that son of a bitch had had done it right there wouldn't have been a passenger or a crew member to take action. What a buffoon. God help us if that thing stays in control of Homeland Security. Even Obama said there was a system failure but then in the same breath he blamed Bush again. When is this clown going to act presidential and stand up and say" the buck stops here", I am the President and I take full responsibility. Hey Obama grow a pair you coward.

  • Is this the new Janet Reno?,I thing so,the similarities are scary,they both are BUTCHY,BAD DRESSERS,LOOKS CHALLENGED,LOVE THE TASTE OF FISH IN THEIR MOUTH and more than anything FUCKING CLUELESS ABOUT THEIR JOBS.

  • It's called public relations. Seems like she's trying to do PR to avoid panic among travelers. Repubs are trying to make hay when they are no better.

  • Members of the Bush administration put their foot in their mouths for 8 years and Repubs kept making excuses.

  • She's the worst person Obama Bin Laden could have put into that position. We can expect to be attacked by Al Quaeda from the border with Mexico cuz this administration is even worse than the previous one regarding border/homeland security. I have friends who are ranchers in S. AZ and they find arabic to spanish dictionaries left behind amongst the trash in the desert all the time. You can almost guarantee that some of the missing russian backpack nukes will be smuggled into the U.S. that way.

  • He tries blowing up a plane and before he's even taken into custody he gets a lawyer. he claims the system worked but the only reason those people are still alive is because the bomb malfunctioned. What a DUNCE.

  • Hey, Bulldog, I think that's a woman but I understand your confusion.

  • This is truly amazing. She too stupid to be employable in ANY capacity! Fortunately she will create more heat on the entire disastrous Obammy administration.

  • Does anyone believe that this dyke, as head of Homeland Security, is even CAPABLE of protecting us?

    Ms. Man-Made Disasters needs to RESIGN as another Incompetent Obama appointee...

  • Napolitano being in charge of Homeland Security is a man-made disaster.

    A disaster created by Obama.

  • Spot on! As a federal prosecutor for AZ she refused to prosecute homosexuals for touching kids. As governor she fought our Sheriff every step of the way and allowed our southern border to stay open. Phoenix now has the ubiquitous title of kidnap capital of the U.S. We have one kidnapping related to illegal aliens/drug smuggling every single day. She's so far left she's Marxist. Additionally, my brother worked with her when she was a lawyer and she's a cunt as a human being.

  • this entire odumba administration is a joke and gets an F for fucked up and idiots.sorry but as an American this is the first time I do not feel safe with the muslim president in charge and his czars of incompetent morons

  • Why is the son of Janet Reno still director of Homeland Security?

  • that is funny

  • The system didn't fail. Napolitano did.

  • Wow! What a hard hitting interview! This is why Fox does so well. She just said the system worked when the only reason the plane didn't explode is because the bomb malfunctioned????????? She wasn't even challenged when everyone knows the system failed. Luckily, so did the bomb.

    Of course it's Bush's fault. Bwahahahahaha!!!!

  • It was partially Bush's fault, he let two of the planners of this mission out of Gitmo, sent them to Saudi rehab camps, were they were promptly released to Yemen to continue Jihad on the USA.

    Now of course Obama wants to release 90+ more detainees to Yemen, so we can expect more attacks on USA.

  • keep blaming bush just like odumba,no Bush is gone and this is only the beginning,hope your happy with your dope and blame president

  • @ajack50 Facts are facts. Both are to be blamed, duh.

  • Actually they were represented by Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder's law firm. That is what got them their freedom.

  • This woman has shown her self to be as big a joke as the rest of Obama's apointments. Janet should step down!

  • the entire administration needs to be imprisoned

  • Ya great point!

  • Yeah, can see why Napolitano missed flagging this a-hole terrorist .. he looks like a distant cousin to Obama himself.

  • DHS didn't flag this guy as a terrorist, becuase he wasnt former U.S. Miltatary or a teabagger.

  • @Paulsur DON'T FORGET...WHITE!

  • so according to napolitano, "the system worked" because the bomb failed and ordinary citizens jumped on him afterwards. is that how homeland security works now? let the public deal directly with the terrorists when their bombs dont detonate... RESIGN YOU BITCH!

  • What the fuck is she talking about??? The U.S can totally deny a visa into the United States. They don't need a reason.

    But evidently according to our Homeland Security Secretary being put on a terrorist watchlist and have the father plead to the U.S Embassy to deny his son a visa because he fears he will commit a terrorist act evidently isn't enough...then what is?

  • Amsterdam is not part of the United States. The Netherlands failed in their security screening.

  • Since when does Amsterdam issue a visa for the U.S?

    Since when does Amsterdam control the U.S Embassy in Nigeria to which the terrorists father pleaded to deny a visa to his son?

  • They dropped the ball. They have to come up with a better way to filter information. Law enforcement gets thousands and thousands of tips all the time-- I doubt it's as easy as you suggest.

    Dalmatian, you sound like a typical republican hack looking for any opportunity to play the blame game.  Were you just as critical of Chertoff when New Orleans went under water and days passed with no substantial help?

  • Comment removed

  • You sound like an Obama Fluffler. This happened under his watch. This underwear terrorist was on a watch list produced by the U.S. State Department (ran by Hillary Clinton). The underwear terrorist's father contacted the CIA (ran by Leon Panetta) and he told them of his nutjob son's radical Islamic beliefs.

    In typical Liberal fashion, you point back to Bush and to a subject that has nothing to do with this situation. You are the liberal hack defending Obama. Obama appointed all these failures!

  • You have your facts wrong. The crotch bomber's father told the US Embassy (not the CIA) that his son was radicalized and didn't even say he was an actual terrorist. Not to excuse those running things now, but the "system" was put in place during the Bush admin. There's alway bugs and imperfections in any system, so hopefully they learn from mistakes and prevent this from happening in the future.

  • Homeland security is a bloated inept organization. Napolitano's claim 'the system worked' beggars belief. The system completely failed and her limited grasp of this moribund bureaucracy was on show. Homeland Security is an American bureaucratic nightmare. Their answer to THEIR failure? Humiliating, invasive, pre-boarding checks for regular flyers. It's only a matter of time before HS insist on pre-flight anal and vaginal examinations. In the eyes of HS we are all suspects. Gee thnx.

  • @flp21 So we are relying on other countries to do their job??? I doubt that very seriously.

  • To be successful, ALL countries have to do their job to stop terrorism and the Netherlands FAILED in their security screening.

  • She is a clown. Her boss should be replaced by Paul Reubens, I believe he could do a better job.

  • This is what happens when an operations position is filled with a political appointment.

  • She had the qualifications for the job., I'm confident there have certainly been no illegal aliens entering the U.S through Arizona on her watch!

  • She failed Arizona!

  • What happened on Christmas is a national tragedy, but there was nothing that could have been done differently. We just don't have a detection system for the level of technology the bomber used and to have transferred the Nigerian man's name to a list of barred flyers would be overstepping civil liberties given the information we had. Let's think about being constructive and building up our protection system, instead of pointing a finger at whose to blame.

  • Actually, the good result had nothing to do with the DHS or the screening technology used. This fellow fit a profile and if anyone should have been screened more thoroughly he should have been. I've watched elderly women have to prove their bra wasn't a weapon. We have all given up a tremendous amount of liberty, spent billions of dollars on feel good security systems but we shy away from using profile data to sort out those that have proven to be the danger - makes no sense to me.

  • Political correctness in action. The biggest danger yet to this country.

    The system worked as long as you have unpaid, untrained volunteer air marshals risking their lives to stop fellow passengers.

    That along with incompetent terrorists with bad triggers.

  • Don't use the word "profile." It makes liberal's ears bleed.

  • If you think that, you have not been paying attention.

    The guy was denied a visa to the U.K based on being on a terrorist watchlist

    YET

    He managed to secure a visa to the U.S...

    DESPITE

    A personal plea from his father to the U.S Embassy in Nigeria that he fears his son would do something like this.

    Sounds like there was plenty and could have been done...and was not.

    Someone needs to be held accountable because this was entirely preventable.
