Janet Napolitano Admits ‘An Apology Is Owed’ ("Right-wing Extremist" Warning)
Fox News ^ | April 16, 2009 | Bill Sammon

Posted on 04/16/2009 1:39:22 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Acknowledging that “an apology is owed,” Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano promised Thursday to “meet and clear the air” with veterans groups that were offended by her agency’s report citing “returning veterans” as terrorist risks to the U.S.

“To the extent veterans read it as an accusation,” Napolitano told FOX News, “an apology is owed.”

“I’ll meet with the leaders of some of the veterans groups,” she promised on “FOX & Friends.” “The last thing we want to do is offend or castigate all veterans. To the contrary, let’s meet and clear the air.”

Napolitano said she was briefed on the report, including the warning about returning veterans, before it was released.

“I have to tell you, I was the United States Attorney for Arizona in the 90’s when Tim McVeigh bombed the Murrow building in Oklahoma City and unfortunately he was a vet — that’s where he got his training,” she said. “And so when I was told about the report, it rang true with me. This has happened in the past.”

With all due respect, you got your post wrong as well. You forgot four zeros...

There are millions of honest hard working vets; McVeigh was an evil anonomoly.

This is the 1990s all over again. Remember the Brady Bill, The Clinton Crime Bill, the victims of OKC being used by Clinton to get re-elected, the vilification of talk radio, Arlen Specter's ridiculous "Senate Militia Hearings", etc., etc., etc..

There was an insidious "us verses them" theme which underpinned the Clinton years.

It's back!! Only this time, instead of Waco, we have the "Stimulus Bill"; a giant first leap towards socialism. But the underlying philosophy remains the same:

You're either with us, or you're against us; in which case we will profile, track, and persecute you. FWIW, I never supported the the "Patriot Act", and re-read "Nineteen-Eighty-Four" right after the DHS was formed, because I knew this day would come.

I agree totally with you. IMO, no veteran or active-duty military should accept anything from this reprehensible Liberal.

How does she feel about Reno, Clinton, the FBI and BATF?

And, STILL she insists McVeigh was a “right-wing militia” member... No, Janet, McVeigh was NOT “right-wing” nor did he get his “training” in our military... And, until you actually ADMIT that YOUR ACTIONS in the investigation & prosecution of McVeigh LED TO 9/11 by IGNORING the MULTITUDE of evidence that would’ve led to the TRUTH, and would’ve also led to the bust of the MUSLIM TERRORIST CELL STILL OPERATING IN OKLAHOMA to this DAY! I’m personally not interested in ANYTHING you have to say...

You can take your so-called “apology” and shove it where the sun don’t shine... And, I’m not even a veteran!!!

Enough is enough... I’d better stop here... Lots more I’d LOVE to say right now, but my thoughts are littered with cuss words, especially when it comes to what I think of this B****!

"This Vietnam vet holds her in the same light as he does Jane Fonda "

I see a trend: Fonda, Reno, Shalala, Pelosi, Napolitano and others like them. But I lived in one of their corrupt communities for a while.

I guess we can conclude, using her logic, that since Bubba Clintoon got BJ’s in the Oval Office, all President’s did and will do likewise!

No, they aren’t “stupid”, but they are LIARS. It’s all part of their COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA! Perhaps Janet is starting to realize that their BS is getting harder and harder to peddle...

Forget the young and returning vets. Beware the old vets and their wives. We have less to lose and we are cranky.

Ditto!

I’ve always thought that “The Department of Homeland Security” sounded a little too much like “The Ministry of the Interior.”

Too little too late....can’t put the genie back it the bottle now. The only thing I want to hear from this cow is a formal RESIGNATION and in retirement announcement in shame.

It’s amazing how much mileage they can get out of McVeigh, but if you try to extrapolate a threat out of the fellow travelers of the 09/11 terrorists, you’re a bigot and a racist.

The 09/11 terrorists were here on student visas, some expired. Most were from Saudi Arabia. Today we have over 30,000 Saudi students here on visas. Is that cause for concern? Why hell no. But of course, every vet is a potential terrorist according to Napolitano.

What a b itch.

I hope that Mzzz. Napolitano realizes that by implicitly threatening a large swath of the U.S. population she’s criminalized the DHS into a mafia style organization.

Sweet lips! Tim McVeigh was spewing all the anti-war stuff that is familiar to Moveon.org and Code Pink types, you know, LEFT-WING EXTREMISTS!
