Janet Napolitano: We’re Working “24/7, 364″ To Keep The American People Safe

video
» 71 comments

Ya gotta wonder which day America’s anti-terror forces are kicking their feet up with a book and maybe a nap, instead of, you know, “keeping the American people safe?”

On ABC’s World News tonight, Diane Sawyer sat down with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to talk about the possibility of a terror attack over the holidays.

And Napolitano, doing her best to keep us all feeling cozy and warm, said it’s almost a year-round operation:

“What I say to the American people is that… thousands of people are working 24/7, 364 days a year to keep the American people safe.”

Uh, 364 days, you say? So which day is it when you guys are at the beach? Because I think I might stay home that day, also. You know, skip the airport, subway, and I’m probably not even answering the door that day. I’m thinking that’d be a great day for me to skip the family reunion, take a pass on that trip to Times Square, and altogether be the frightened scaredy-cat the terrorists have been hoping I’d become. Might even dig a hole in my back yard and spend that 24-hour stretch out of sight.

Napolitano didn’t specify which day was the Homeland Security “off day,” which of course helps to keep our terrorist enemies off guard. After all, if they don’t know the magic day when all are defenses are down, how can they plan an attack? Is it New Year’s Eve? (Perhaps too obvious) Flag Day? Is it that National Cupcake Day? Can we agree to make it a day when I’m out of town?

    How could you and Obama side with Mexico against one of your own states ? Close the border and you will solve a lot of problems , and maybe save California and many other states . Mexican gangs , Mexican drunk drivers and Mexican criminals we don’t need . We have enough of our own . But , just keep lying , Janet , until Obama is thrown out or he throws you out .

    Mexicans are least of our problems right now.

    Don’t we have enough problems with Muslim extremists already??

    Closing the border is a good idea.. But that won’t solve problems with immigrants coming to our side, because we know how walls always work. Take Berlin wall for example. Yes they tried their best to make it failproof, but people still kept coming to West Berlin. Unless Mexico gets stabilized, immigrant flow won’t stop. Mexican criminals are mostly related to drug trafficking, but not solely. FYI, US is one of the largest Marijuana producer.

    The Fact remains that unless the Markup of illicit drugs that are sold in US(that come from or through Mexico) are lowered, either through legalization or through reduction in consumption(through massive drug programs), we won’t be able to reduce the funding for cartels, who with reduced funding, will be forced to ease their death grip on Mexico and its government, who in turn, might be able to slowly start recovering, and start addressing the needs of the people and probably fight the drug cartels( If they can reduce corruptions), and then and ONLY THEN, the flow of Mexicans to our side of the border be reduced. Stopping the flow of Mexicans isn’t just as easy as blocking them.

    Ever stop to think there have been more than just Hispanics coming across the border?

    That said, one estimate is there are some 22 million criminal aliens in the US now. I guess we owe a debt of “graftitude” to the woman who informed us in the spring of this year that our “borders are more secure than they’ve ever been,” meanwhile, there have been 30,100 deaths along the borders this year and, most tragically, one of our Border Patrol was murdered by these cockroaches. To add insult to injury, Jannie refuses to meet with the sheriffs who are responsible for securing our borders, and the -0bama regime takes the side of Mexico against the state of Arizona.

    Well, now we’ve got the DREAM Act, a tool designed by the progressives to provide blanket amnesty to the spawn of those cockroaches who snuck across our borders with their welfare sucking broods in tow.

    {But, pyrope, you old meanie, they can either go to college or join the military.}

    What will you bet that 99.999% will choose college–which will be paid for by US taxpayers.

    DAMN IT PEOPLE–WHEN DOES ENOUGH BECOME ENOUGH?

    I emigrated to this country from Greece in 1966. I learned the language AND served in the Air Force, and I never begged one penny off anyone while accomplishing this. Criminal aliens are an insult to everyone who has come to this country legally.

    I always thought this was just a joke, but I think we’ve discovered the kernel of truth in it.

    An attorney, cross-examining the local coroner, queried, “Before you signed the death certificate had you taken the man’s pulse?”

    “No,” the coroner replied.

    “Well, then, did you listen for a heart beat?”

    The coroner answered, “No.”

    “Did you check for respiration? Breathing?”, asked the attorney.

    Again the coroner replied, “No.”

    “Ah,” the attorney said, “So when you signed the death certificate you had not taken any steps to make sure the man was dead, had you?”

    The coroner rolled his eyes, and shot back “Counselor, at the time I signed the death certificate the man’s brain was sitting in a jar on my desk. But I can see your point. For all I know he could be out there practicing law somewhere.”

    Factually, that’s incorrect. The economy wasn’t booming when Pres Bush took over, rather it was declining. The internet boom (which made Clinton’s economic policy look so successful) had burst, and things were on the down slide. However, Bush was able to maintain relatively low unemployment levels until late in his tenure, when the housing bubble burst.

    So Fort Hood wasn’t successful? I bet you think that brings a lot of comfort to the dead and their families.

    Oh, and how to you define “successful attack?” The Christmas Day Bomber didn’t kill anyone… but he was the impetus behind massive changes in security screenings in the United States and abroad. In case you didn’t know (which you might, but chose to ignore because it doesn’t fit your spin), one of the states goals of AQ is disruption and confusion. As we’ve seen with the debate over the new security procedures, they’ve succeeded.

    You fucking moron.

    You used the word ATTEMPTED.

    Like I said, NO ATTACKS UNDER OBAMA.

    Quite unlike Bush and Cheney who have the blood of 3000 Americans on their hands for their ineptitude and failure to heed warning signs given to them by the FBI and CIA.

    Bush took a month long vacation to Texas instead.

    The first terrorism meeting on Al Queda didn’t even take place until 9/10/01.

    Too late. Bush + Cheny had 9 months to take threats seriously, but they didn’t, because Clinton told both it was important and they brushed Bill’s advice off.

    Ft. Hood has nothing to o with terrorism. The guy was a US soldier who snapped.

    Fact:
    http://hannity.blogs.foxnews.com/2010/06/15/in-case-you-missed-it-armed-mexicans-crossing-border/

    U.S. Border Patrol agents were backed down this week by armed men, dressed in what appeared to be Mexican military uniforms and carrying military weapons, who seized a captured dump truck filled with marijuana from the U.S. agents and dragged it across the border into Mexico with a bulldozer.
    The border incident occurred Thursday evening when Border Patrol agents attempted to pull over a dump truck on Interstate 10 in Hudspeth County, Texas. The driver fled from the agents, exiting the freeway and driving toward the Rio Grande which runs within 2 miles of the interstate in this portion of West Texas.

    The driver abandoned the truck after it became stuck in the river bed, escaping into Mexico.

    Agents called for reinforcement from the Texas state troopers and Hudspeth County sheriff and began unloading the haul – estimated to have been nearly 3 tons – when everything changed.

    Officers “started to retrieve the bundles when the armed subjects appeared,” said Agent Ramiro Cordero, Border Patrol spokesman.

    According to Hudspeth County Chief Deputy Mike Doyal, the dump truck driver returned with armed men, some of whom drove “official looking vehicles with overhead lights.” Some of those armed, Doyal told the El Paso Times, appeared to be Mexican soldiers in uniform with military weapons.

    “It’s a very serious incident,” Doyal said. “We are very fortunate … no one got hurt. Everyone had the presence of mind not to cause an international incident, or start shooting.”

    U.S.-trained Mexican commandos, called the Zetas, making cross-border runs into U.S. territory in military-style vehicles, armed with automatic weapons.

    The Zetas were trained as elite commandos by U.S. forces to combat the drug cartels, but they have switched sides and are working for the drug smugglers in the border area posing a special hazard to American law enforcement and Border Patrol agents, according to a U.S. Justice Department memo. Under the control of reputed drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, the Zetas are conducting a bloody war for control of the entire southern border in an effort to secure a monopoly on drug-smuggling and people-smuggling routes.

    As both sides faced off, a bulldozer appeared from the Mexico side of the river and was used by the armed men to pull the dump truck – and the two-thirds of the marijuana that had not yet been unloaded – into Mexico. The bulldozer, Doyal said, is believed to be used regularly to make makeshift crossings over the Rio Grande.

    The “armed encounter with drug smugglers,” as Cordero described it, is under investigation. No confirmation was made as to whether or not the “soldiers” belonged to the Mexican military.

    I knew you can’t write something as long as that. Don’t you feel any shame by copying and quoting such large reference. I would never have finished higher education by doing something like this. Surely you could have summarised it and then referenced it to the source. What is the point of adding a comment (another article) to comment on a short post. This does not make any sense, your useless effort to quote another persons work is actually longer than the original post on mediaite.

    What makes you think people want to read such crap (long article). Can’t you see the logic of the work going on around here. They make a lot of their post, because the longer it is, the less interested people would be. You Sir! a a Bore and needs to know how blogs and news sites work.

    http://www.brookesnews.com/042903ecclewilkinson.html

    I just wonder why Sandy Berger steals documents in his socks to cover up for Clinton?
    http://neveryetmelted.com/2006/12/22/what-did-sandy-berger-steal/

    Mr. Berger knows what transpired on his first two visits, when he reviewed collections of confidential memos, e-mails, and handwritten notes, including materials taken from counter-terrorism adviser Richard Clarke’s office – all of which were not catalogued at the individual item level.

    Handwritten notes from Berger, the President, or some other official? Observations that would be embarrassing to them, evidence they missed an important threat or considered or recommended actions – or decisions not to act – they wouldn’t want to defend in public? Evidence, perhaps, that would have supported the Bush Administration?

    Let me break it down for ya.
    Janet said they keep the American people safe for 364 days a year.
    A regular year has 365 days a year.
    Every four year it’s 366 days.
    So if Janet and her team keeps America safe for 364 days.
    That means in a regular year, they have a day off. 365-1=364days
    While on a leap year (366 days), Janet and her team take two days off. 366-2=364 days

    Hence, They need a day off on a regular year and then 2 days off every 4 yrs

    NYC also, but that’s quibbling, besides all those, no attacks.

    Are you f&*^king insane!
    What about our economic breakdown in California from illegals flooding the hospitals and costing us billions in welfare and social cost. or the billions in taxpayer money for illegals in our prison systems. We are BROKE out here because of the social entitlements this state gives out mainly from illegals.

    The Obama administration main sheriff didnt even read the Arizona law which is the exact same as the federal governments one… but throws a law suit at his own people to please illegals.

    This administration is the wost enemy to any working American taxpayer in history!

    Fact: This fat woman only protects the plate of food she is eating off of! If you get in arms distance that is the only thing she sees! As far as the border goes she eats at Outback SteakHouse and protects her plate there too!

    Mike McConnell (aka as Mitch to some) will be teaching our remaining states how to speak Austrian on day 365, so they’ll be able to detect any future, obscurely accented, lily-white terrorist types, like those seen in past Diehard and other PC Hollywood movies.

    Meantime, this President will likely be practicing the correct pronunciation of words like fajita (Faheeta) in a WH mirror so he doesn’t F’k That up too, if TOTUS isn’t around. So guh’bye everybody, cus’ I’m late for, if you’ll forgive the expression, a Christmas Party, and Michelle’s still got my nads in a mason jar. But don’t anybody tell her that I already know what kinda gift she got me.

    Alright then, take care Billy Jeff

    Please GO!

    Obfuscation, and outright lies are the mainstay of Napolitano & co. Last week another border patrol agent was murdered by Mexican thugs on the border and this bag of wind keeps telling us, it’s under control? Vast areas of American soil in southern Arizona have signs telling Americans not to enter because Mexican drug gangs are using that portion of the U.S. to move their drugs?…WHAT?!!… This president, and this women have turned their backs on the legal citizens of our border states, and country in favor of appeasing the illegal employer lobbyists. Money talks, and our rights walks!!

    You are really sad.

    One border guard gets shot and suddenly it’s all Obama’s fault?

    Fuck you.

    The shit has been happening for decades.

    Got a problem with it?

    Go enlist and get your ass on the border, pussy.

    This is a non issue. This very competent caring woman goes on TV to help inform the american people about homeland security steps to keep us safe and the pundits take simple conversation error and turn it into the main topic of conversation. Did anyone really get the message??

    From the comments being said here, I doubt any of them are old enough to understand the word message.

    Lane, it’s never been a complaint (with few exceptions) about labor, the complaint is about what is loosely referred to as “management.”

    Janet Napolitano:
    The Obama administration is working 364 days of every year to protect the American people.

    Obama would confirm this with the assertion that this is being done in all in all 57 states.

    “Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it.”
    ~ Barack Hussein Obama

    Progressives are the malodorous, masturbatory discharges of mental instability.

    Yet a majority of Americans voted this Marxist crapweasel into the White House. Now that the White House is up to its eyeballs in communists, we can confidently say that it’s now the Red House.

    There should be a reasonable, minuscule requirement that U.S. voters possess the equivalent intelligence of a head of lettuce.

    If this were done, progressives would lose at least half of their voters.

    Too late. Bush + Cheny had 9 months to take threats seriously, but they didn’t, because Clinton told both it was important and they brushed Bill’s advice off.

    Unbelievable. Clinton had Osama in the crosshairs and didn’t pull the trigger cuz he knew his popularity (after soiling a cartain blue dress) would go further in the crapper….. and YOU wanna talk about how ‘important’ it was to him? Good grief you guys are twisted.

    So, Bush gets the blame for 9-11 but Obama gets the credit for the present state of Homeland Security, right? That makes just as much sense as the rest of your BS.

    And btw…. I really feel safe with you jokers preventing ‘man-made disasters’ by ‘freedom fighters’ in the Overseas Contingency Operation. lmfao!

    Buncha jokers. Sad, pathetic jokers.
