SHE ACTUALLY VOTED THAT IT WORKED BEFORE SHE VOTED THAT IT DIDN'T WORK

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab wanted to blow up an American airplane. His plot was foiled because his explosive mixture did not properly detonate. Vigilant passengers stopped him in his tracks.

The suspect, who carried the explosive in his underwear, passed through security at two airports -- in Nigeria and Amsterdam, Netherlands. He was not on any "no-fly" list, even though he was on a massive federal database of people with suspected ties to terrorists and his father apparently had warned U.S. embassy officials in Nigeria about his son.

The MainStream Media initially reported that Abdulmutallab was a poor Nigerian who had a misguided, unfortunate childhood, thus explaining, if not justifying, his sorry attitude toward Americans.

According to MSM, if you are black, and want to bomb a plane, you must be poor and uneducated.

It turns out that the ever-racist MSM didn’t do its homework.

Abdulmutallab came from a well-to-do family and has been described by friends and family members as a disciplined, if occasionally brash, young man. His father who until recently was chairman of First Bank

Umar managed to get by security and onto an airplane with what amounts to a bomb, designed to blow the airplane and its occupants out of the air.

The bomb failed to explode, but set fire to Abdulmutallab’s pants. The fire was extinguished and the perp subdued by fellow passengers.

On CNN's "State of the Union," Homeland Security Czar, Janet Napolitano, said: "One thing I'd like to point out is that the system worked."

Of course that was a bald-faced lie designed to cover up their absolute incompetence to deal with the issue of Homeland security, with which Napolitano is charged.

Get it? She lied. She was untruthful. She tried to absolve herself and her department of the sin of failure to protect and tried to make it look as though the actions of the passenger and crew on the airplane were a result of good planning by Homeland Security.

If Napolitano had said, “Oops, things didn’t work out right…we goofed, the system didn’t work like it was supposed to,” that would have been the truth.

But she didn’t say that. She said: "One thing I'd like to point out is that the system worked."

It didn’t work…not on ANY level.

Can you see that?

So then Napolitano embarked on a new spin.

"I think the important thing to recognize here is that once this incident occurred, everything happened that should have," she said on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday. "We trained for this. We planned for this."

“…once the incident occurred…!”

Who cares how well it was handled ONCE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED, for pity’s sake?

The idea of Homeland Security is to KEEP THE INCIDENT FROM OCCURRING IN THE FIRST PLACE!!

FAILURE TO DO SO MEANS THAT IT WAS NOT HANDLED PROPERLY!!!

What is so hard to understand about that?

Finally, under pressure from the enemy news organization, FOX NEWS, she had to allow that the incident had, indeed, not been handled well.

"Here, clearly, something went awry. We want to fix that problem," Napolitano told Fox News on Monday.

So there you have a perfect example of how liberals typically handle everything they touch: lie; lie; lie and then lie some more. When you get caught lying, spin, spin and spin some more. If that doesn’t work, call people names. When you get caught lying AND spinning, and can think of no way out, reluctantly tell the truth.

And you libs think these LIARS should be given the responsibility of running health care?

What is WRONG with you?

ADDENDUM: Tom, over at Tom's Place makes a good point: Napolitano is nothing but a political hack. There was nothing about an American system that was even involved in this incident. What failed were foreign security forces [Nigerian (where the flight originated), and Amsterdam, Netherlands (where the flight continued on to the US)].
