Word Play

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has an explanation about why she never mentioned the word "terrorism" during her first testimony on Capitol Hill.

Napolitano tells the German news site Spiegel Online that while she presumes there is always a threat from terrorism: "I referred to "man-caused" disasters. That is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur."

James Carafano, senior research fellow at the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation says: "By deliberately trying not to use the T word they run a serious political risk. If something does happen, they'll be accused of taking their eye off the ball and no amount of explanation after the fact will suffice."

Sounds like a "Mission Accomplished" statement to me.

I suppose the "War on Terror" is over? I think not.

Kind of like the "War On Poverty"in the 60's............Poverty won......... :roll:

How Retarded are these Liberals?

Is there a reason you capitalized the "r" in "Retarded"?

There's 50 threads about what your President and his staff are doing, their misguided and asinine policies, etc.... where we've been daring, even begging for defense from liberals - and you pick this? :roll:

Getting pretty hard to defend the messiah, isn't it? What is it going to take to get you to admit this guy took you for a ride?
