CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN … The Obama Administration has made a change to the way we used to do things, they alienate our allies and cozy up to our enemies.
Who needs VP Joe Biden for gaffes when the Obama Administration has a DHS Secretary like Janet Napolitano who first insults our brave returning military veterans and refers to them of potential terrorists, then is unaware of immigration law and now says that 9–11 occurred because of a our borders with Canada. A former governor of a state that dealt with Mexican illegals crossing on a daily basis calls out Canada after suggesting that 9/11 terrorists entered the U.S. through the northern border.
Janet Napolitano … 9–11 terrorists came through the Canadian border, oops you mean they didn’t … never mind.
There comes a point where these are no longer gaffes, but the actual policy of a not ready for prime time White House … it’s armature hour. Maybe Janet Napolitano needs a teleprompter too.
The furor began when Napolitano was asked to clarify statements she had made about equal treatment for the Mexican and Canadian borders, despite the fact that a flood of illegal immigrants and a massive drug war are two serious issues on the southern border.
“Yes, Canada is not Mexico, it doesn’t have a drug war going on, it didn’t have 6,000 homicides that were drug-related last year,” she said.
“Nonetheless, to the extent that terrorists have come into our country or suspected or known terrorists have entered our country across a border, it’s been across the Canadian border. There are real issues there.”
When asked if she was referring to the 9-11 terrorists, Napolitano added: “Not just those but others as well.”
It is a scary thought that DHS Secretary Napolitano does not even know the history of 9–11 or how evens played out that lead up to that fateful September morning. Napolitano is supposed to keep us safe, right?
U.S. security boss clarifies comments about border
“As the 9-11 commission reported in 2004, all of the 9-11 terrorists arrived in the United States from outside North America. They flew to major U.S. airports. They entered the U.S. with documents issued by the United States government and no 9-11 terrorists came from Canada.”
“Her comment from her people is that she misunderstood,” Wilson said, adding that he was planning a personal meeting with Napolitano in the near future.

However, Public Safety Minister Peter Van Loan downplayed the comments and said that Napolitano is well aware that Canada was not the source of the 9-11 terrorists.
So we have an administration that embraces the likes of Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez and the Castro brothers, doesn’t want to use the term “war of terror” because that sends the wrong message to the very people who want to kill us, yet finds it perfectly ok to insult our ally to the North with misinformation.
