DHS SECRETARY: THE SYSTEM WORKED

The unmitigated gall is palpable. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano actually said that the reason Northwest flight 253 didn't blow up was because "the system worked". Uh, not so much. The reason flight 253 didn't explode was that a Muslim's chemical concoction didn't blow up as advertised. Couple that with the heroic efforts of a Dutch passenger in preventing the dirtbag from doing any further damage and you have your answer.

The system didn't work. Its blatant failures were overcome by the common man and perhaps the Grace of God. The arrogance of Napolitano in uttering those words just about takes the cake.

The White House, according to both Joe Lieberman and Susan Collins, has been stonewalling the Fort Hood shooting investigation. Now we learn that Hasan's Imam, al-Awlaki, may have had connections to the man who almost blew up Flight 253. If that turns out to be true and the passenger actually did succeed in vaporizing a commercial jetliner, perhaps not stonewalling Leiberman and Collins would have prevented it.

But alas, practically everything this administration says and does is backward.
