Napolitano Blames Entry Of 9/11 Hijackers On.....Canada

Apparently "smart diplomacy" means suck up to enemies and needlessly piss off friends.

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.".

One, tiny, small, little problem. It's not what one might call strictly accurate.

In the weeks after the attacks, investigators established that all of the hijackers entered the United States from countries other than Canada, a finding that got the official stamp last summer with the release of the Sept. 11 commission report

Add this to the whole, verterans are a major security threat and the fact she didn't seem to know illegal immigration was, um, illegal and it's becoming pretty clear that Napolitano is one dumb bitch.
