Cluster-puck this: DHS, TSA, INS, & ICE

All one really needs to do is look at the revolving doors of press releases issued by Janet Napolitano, Secretary Department of Homeland Security, to come to grips with just how misguided and literally inept these public officials are. Michelle Malkin has prepared a lovely and impressive expose on "Clown Alert: Janet Napolitano says 'the system worked'" which Ms. Malkin has again supported every claim made with supporting documentation as well as impeccable sources. This is only a teaser and we implore you to rush over and see how incredibly well Michelle lists the events.

Beginning with her embrace of the impotent euphemism “man-caused disasters” to the hit job on conservatives and veterans that she was forced to apologize for, to her assertion that crossing the border illegally “isn’t a crime per se”, to her boneheaded claim that 9/11 terrorists came in through the Canadian border, "Ja-No" has confirmed time and again that she’s not ready for prime time. Today, she caps off her horrible year by playing Big Pollyanna in the wake of the Flight 253. The botched bombing — foiled by a faulty detonator and brave passengers, not by homeland security bureaucrats or any preemptive measures by Intel officials — shows that the in Ja-No’s fantasy world.

Folks let's look at what the U.S. government is doing; moreover, what it is not doing, shall we? And just like the placard on President Harry Truman's desk stating, "The Buck Stops Here" it is well over time that Barack Obama actively engage in a leadership capacity. For those who think that he has, well, suffice it to say that the 'Buck' has never stopped with him – it's always Bush's fault – and it will always be someone other than him who takes the heat.

Secretary Janet Napolitano as Michelle Malkin asserts, is simply not ready for prime time. After bragging about how her DHS foiled the plot on Northwest Air's flight that nearly became a travesty of epic proportions – there was Napolitano taking credit. For what? Before the ink was even dry on the first press release she further chimes in that it was in fact, the brave passengers and flight crew that brazenly subdued the would-be bomber. (Please see press release here.)

It appears that "The Department of Homeland Security immediately put additional screening measures into place-- for all domestic and international flights- to ensure the continued safety of the traveling public. We are also working closely with federal, state and local law enforcement on additional security measures, as well as our international partners on enhanced security at airports and on flights." Oh please! This is embarrassing!

The reality of this issue folks is rather simple: If the system had worked as Janet Napolitano claims then no-how and no-way would that bomber even been admitted on the plane; moreover, if the system had worked properly this bombing suspect would never have had a visa to enter the USA.
