Napolitano Lectures On Border Security

Hey, is it just me, or is the hypocricy here palpable?

Janet must have balls the size of Brooklyn to lecture someone else about securing their borders.

Napolitano Meets Karzai, Discusses Ways to Stop IEDs

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano details ways to stop terrorists from transporting bomb-making chemicals across the Afghanistan-Pakistan border during a meeting on Saturday with Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Kabul.

It would be nice to see her take that much interest in the US Border.

Now she is talking about ways to stop bomb making chemicals from getting into Afghanistan.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011...ied-chemicals/

I guess she is using the extensive experience that she gained by keeping drugs and illegals out of this country.

This administration will eventually be caricatured and ridiculed much more feverishly than Clinton's or even Carter's.

If real life, as it is right now, were a Hollywood movie, the casting agent would win an Oscar for the people who play the POTUS' czars, Cabinet, and picks.

It's as if Hillary Clinton had laid a couple dozen eggs that hatched into these nightmarishly incompetent clowns.

I imagine her hypocrisy can't be much worse than a bunch of Chicago thugs lecturing Karzai on corruption

It is total hypocricy, and a bad, very bad visual...

Everything this administration does becomes a calamity of two kinds; misfortune to ourselves, and good fortune to others at our expense.

Do they have a clue?

Janet Napolitano, "I'm here to tell you how secure your borders!"

Karzai, "Wait, wait, wait, you have millions of tons of drugs pass over/through your borders each year and you're going to tell me how to secure our borders...?"


Janet Napolitano, "Ok we've got no fucking idea on how to secure any borders, especially me, but here's $50 billion dollars could you get them to at least slow down the shipment of bombs?


Karzai, "Sure thing, glad we had this talk. Let's talk again real soon, Achmed needs new shoes."

After reading many threads on both border security and more specifically Ms. Napolitano I think you have to wonder how different is she really from our friend Mr. Hammersmith?

1) both claim to have expertise in areas they clearly do not understand

2) both claim titles they did not earn (through either experience or expertise)

3) both appear to be profiting through the promotion of falsehoods?

Any chance Janet-from-another-planet ends up in the Hall of Shame?

She's the newest board member of Wolfie's company. "Use Alphaciper and your digital communications are just as secure as the American southern border. Recently received the Karzai stamp of approval too!"
