Poor little flower. He thinks he can have just the right amount of liberalism to suit him, not too little, not too much. But liberalism has no internal brake. It keeps going until it implodes.

I wonder how many of us it will take with it?

Napolitano took 24 hours to realize that she said the wrong thing POLITICALLY. She is still incompetent. Mathews is an idiot. He was an idiot 10 years ago. He will still be an idiot 10 years from now.

I don’t know why Abdul is being treated and handled by the police forces. He should be in Guantanamo now getting ready to be interrogated.

But instead of that, our brilliant leadership is thinking about sending the Yemenis in Guantanamo back to Yemen for some R&R so that they can rejoin their comrades in battle against American once more.

As I have said elsewhere – the nose needs to be more bloodied before we understand that this is not solvable by a police action. The “we” here are Obama and Napolitano and Holder and … well, everyone in this administration.

We already know the outcome of all this political wrangling: warrantless and unnecessary searches of innocent American travelers more invasive and humiliating than before. As usual, I have questions that the press coverage isn't answering: 1) Has Abdulmutallab qualified for a Darwin Award? Obviously, he's not dead, but we do have reason to hope that he's removed himself from the gene pool. 2) Is Abdulmutallab receiving medical treatment at the expense of American taxpayers? If so, why? Wouldn't that just encourage others like him? 3) Has anyone else suggested that we ship Abdulmutallab back to Lagos for his convalescence?

Mr. Matthews took ten years to see the light where it took Ms. Napolitano about 24 hours. The system worked, but, then again it didn’t, but it’ll work again… someday, after we update our lists, review our policies, reassess structural procedures, expand our understanding of man-made disasters, evaluate, prioritize, appraise, analyze, and examine. [I.e.; become a market-based, private enterprise.–IM]

After all that, and were the proposition available in Vegas, I’d wager Muslim exceptionalism continues to trump common sense.

But will Chris Matthews dare question the core liberal doctrines that allowed Abdul Mutallab to be granted a visa in the first place? The policy of granting so many visas to individuals from Muslim countries is akin to America offering visas to Germans and Japaneses right after Pearl Harbor or to Russians during the Cold War. In that past year alone we have seen countless failed jihad plots conducted by Muslim immigrants or the children of immigrants in the US, but no one wants to make the connect between Muslim immigration and Muslim terrorism. We would rather deceived ourselves that Muslims will assimilate and that folks like Major Hasan or the “panty bomber” Abdul Mutallab are merely psychologically disturbed men not reflective of the tenets of their faith.

No policy will work if administered by IDIOTS. As Chris and the others said:
– Moslem kid with no American sponsors/points of contact
– Paid in cash
– Visits to Yemen
– Fingered by his father as a terrorist
– Banned by the UK as a terrorist

None of this even warrented holding up a visa, extra screening, pat down. Like Major Hasan, this Abdul was a glowing billboard that said “TERRORIST” and nothing was done. Profiling, machines, or whatever is only as good as the nature of the people running the system.
