Sec. Napolitano: “The system worked”

December 27th, 2009

YEAH–

if your still using the September 2001-model Todd Beamer System, then, yes, “the system worked.”

In fairness, perhaps Sec. Napolitano was busy profiling returning veterans instead.

Jonah Goldberg, “Fire Napolitano”:

It is her basic position that the “system worked” because the bureaucrats responded properly after the attack. That the attack was “foiled” by a bad detonator and some civilian passengers is proof, she claims, that her agency is doing everything right. That is just about the dumbest thing she could say, on the merits and politically. I would wager that not one percent of Americans think the system is “working” when terrorists successfully get bombs onto planes (and succeed in activating them). Probably even fewer think it’s fair that they have to take off their shoes, endure delays and madness while a known Islamic radical — turned in by his own father — can waltz onto a plane (and into the country). DHS had no role whatsoever in assuring that this bomb didn’t go off. By her logic if the bomb had gone off, the system would have “worked” since it has done everything right.

This is never going to work if both the terrorist’s and the Administration’s pants are on fire.

    There is an unspoken phrase in that quote. At the time she said it, it was "The System of blaming Bush worked." After less than 24 hours, she is now saying "The System of blaming Bush is not working."

    So who are they going to blame?
