Legion – That’s not really a case against Napolitano. That’s just a list of national security failures. If you want to engage in an objective review of her leadership you need to be able to ask and answer question like the following:
1. How many threats have there been? (you probably don’t know about most of these)
2. How many threats have been stopped? (ditto)
3. If the Department of Homeland Security were run by a highly effective leader, taking into account all of the resources available to it what would the outcomes be? How do the outcomes achieved under Napolitano’s leadership compare to those hypothetical outcomes?
I ask you the following: If under one leader there are 10 attempts and one is successful, and then under the next leader there are 1,000 attempts and 3 are successful, which is the better leader?
I have always reacted very strongly to people who blame Bush for all problems under his leadership rather than going through a thoughtful analysis of his leadership. I have to do the same for Obama and his people.
Saw the kitten post. Very sweet.
DCB…based on what info??? Just the chart???

OTOH, there’s a post about a new Beer Bar on Court, which will hopefully be good for gatherings.

Cgar- need I remind you who my attorney is? And my PR person (the esteemed cobble). YOu don’t want them going after you.
So legion- by those lights Bush should have been drummed out too. (and you obviously did not read what lechacal wrote.)
DeLepp, I always wanted to build a traditional home like that in Thailand.
