Was this another case of the system working perfectly?

If this attack had succeeded in causing deaths, it would have been pushed under the rug and blamed on mechanical failure. Another case of a jet just mysteriously falling out of the sky.

Sweet Moses Malone, watching this administration is like being a spectator at the Twit of the Year competition.....they can’t shoot rabbits when they freakin tied spread-eagle to a stake, they can’t jump over the stacks of matchboxes without tripping themselves, and one contestant kills himself with his own Jag.

LOL   True.

On the other hand, I'd bet Napolitano could manage to "take the bra off from the front."

I just watched her on that interview this morning.

All she does is gurgle out the UH, UH, UH’s and then state that its all fine because we just going to do more of the same kind of screening that caused the failure so the American public will be okeee dokey fine.

She is SO egregiously lacking in intellect that it stuns me to my core that she has a job this complex and dynamic AND is the front line of the War on Terror in America?!

My fourteen year old has more on the ball than she does.

There is no reason this terrorist should have been on any flight heading this way.

Probably coming to DC for a class reunion with BO....

The Obama Company Line:

These policies were put in place 2-3 years ago....

It’s Bush’s fault.

This administration can’t protect a White House Party from being infiltrated, they certailnly have not protected this country which has had TWO terrorist attacks in just months!!

But who’s security failed in this case? Where did the Nigerian passenger board?

US security is and must be involved whenever someone gets on a plane bound for the United States, which was the case with the NWA flight leaving Holland for Detroit.

As DHS chief, she's doing just as well as she did for AZ as guvnah.

Arizona budget deficit labeled country's worst

"Arizona has the worst budget deficit situation in the U.S., according to one group's figures. An analysis by the liberal Center for Budget & Policy Priorities shows Arizona with the worst budget deficit in terms of the shortfall's percentage of state spending. Arizona's estimated $1.7 billion deficit is 16.2 percent of state spending, according to CBPP........"

I said US security is and must be involved, not that they are physically staffing the gates in foreign countries. Surely you don’t think that it’s been US policy not to have input and oversight on security measures and policies for people boarding planes in foreign countries that are bound for the US?

re: That’s no lady, that’s our Homeland Security Chief!

Or the old vaudeville line “That was no lady, that’s my brother-in-law and we’re just sick about it!”

Absolutely! Even if it means severely limiting the number of airports that one can use to get back into the US, the security at any airport with a flight bound for the US has to have as good, or better, security than any homeland facility!

Security at the airport is not the answer though. The only thing that will work with certainly is an understanding on the part of Muslims worldwide that ANY attack on a US citizen will result in unbelievable destruction to Muslim ‘holy’ sites. Make it such that retribution from Muslims who blame other Muslims for bringing about the destruction of holy sites will be worse than any good they think they get by messing with us.

I am not excusing the failures on our end, but the lion’s share of the blame belongs to the security where the plane boarded and Holland has repeatedly demonstrated that they have been completely cowed by the Islamists.

Given this, we should consider refusing all flights that fail to adhere to our security standards — oh, wait! This is the Obama administration we’re talking about.

Gods help us.

“His lawyer training allowed him to set her up and nail her.”

I’d like to see Greta question her. It’s interesting to watch when her “lawyer instinct” kicks in and she begins an actual interrogation.
