Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

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.”

Needless to say, the CaNorks didn’t take it all that well.

On Tuesday afternoon, RCMP Commissioner William Elliot expressed frustration with the comments during an interview on CTV’s Power Play.

“I was somewhat surprised and disappointed,” he said, adding he hopes the misconception has been cleared up.

“I understand and am happy to hear that she has issued a statement acknowledging that that didn’t happen.”

But Thomas d’Aquino, president of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, decried Napolitano’s comments on Tuesday.

“I am a longstanding friend and ally of the United States, but sometimes failures in our two-way dialogue cause me to shake my head in sadness and dismay,” he said in a press release.

“The claim that some of the 9/11 terrorists entered the United States from Canada is, quite simply, a myth – an urban legend that began with a handful of erroneous media reports in the days following the terrorist strikes.”

Translation:  “What the bloody hell do you think you’re talking about, bitch, eh?  D’ya think we ‘ave our toques shoved up our bums ‘ere?”

Now, the article does  note that she issued a “clarification” – meaning, of course, that she backed away from those comments so damned fast that some folks swear her ample ass was beeping.

I think it’s yet another prime example of how in-over-their-pointed-heads the Al-Obambi regime really is.  This isn’t exactly the uniting of the world that the Ayatollah was promising us, if you catch my drift.
