Is there nothing this administration won’t do to embolden our enemies?

From Fox News:

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.”

Here’s a clue, bubblehead – it wasn’t a ‘man-caused disaster’ that took down the twin towers. It was a pair of commercial aircraft piloted by Saudi terrorists. You know, terrorism.

Hat tip to Sean Hannity, who said of this (I’ll paraphrase) “If you can’t even call it what it is, how can you expect to fight it?”
