Even though the car started to smoke but luckily failed to explode, I guess she could say, “the system worked.”
They already are touting how the system worked. Those amazing bomb squad techs diffused the bomb. They evacuated 10s of thousands safely, with no injuries. All of that would be irrelevant had the bomb succeeded.
They are so retarded; success happens when you prevent the panty bomber from getting on the plane, the car bomb from arriving at its destination, not when a miracle occurs during the commission of the crime.
