WASHINGTON — Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Thursday a report warning that military veterans could be prone to joining right wing extremism was a routine assessment giving a "situational awareness" of potential threats.(At least she didn't call them  baby killers and spit on them)

Napolitano defended the internal agency intelligence report against a crescendo of criticism during a series of interviews on network news shows as she toured the troubled U.S.-Mexican border.

Asked about the report's assertion that some U.S. military veterans could be seen as potential converts to right wing extremism during a time of a down economy, Napolitano said the report was a routine form of guidance for state and local police and that it is a set of assertions, "not accusations."..(No not THAT..but just keep it in mind, that returning soldiers are POTENTIAL RIGHT WINGERS LUNATICS,  but no thats not an accusation)

"These are intelligence assessments. They are for situational awareness for law enforcement, indeed as the VFW said yesterday, this is an assessment not an accusation," she said. "I really want to stress to the veterans out there watching this today, that report did not, and we do not mean to suggest that veterans as a whole are at risk of becoming violent extremists."..(No not as a whole, not ALL of you but SOME of you)

"I really want to stress to the veterans out there that this report did not and we did not mean to suggest that veterans as a whole are at risk of becoming violent extremists."(Yes really really really stress that as liberals, anti war mentality is a recorded fact, and this is not the same type of bigotry, that John flippity flopp Kerry and Jane Fonda did)  

House Minority Leader John Boehner assailed Napolitano's department for the report and called on the agency to apologize to veterans. "To characterize men and women returning home after defending our country as potential terrorists is offensive and unacceptable," Boehner, R-Ohio, said Wednesday.

Asked about that, Napolitano said, "He wants to make some political hay."..(In others words called your rhetoric out and you didn't like it)

"It's an assessment of a situation where you have a down economy, other factors that go on that historically have given rise to violence. ...," the secretary said. "This is an assessment of things just to be wary of, not to infringe on constitutional rights certainly not to malign our veterans."..(no "we" would never ever call our soldier Murderers..Murtha..jack booted Nazis..Turbin Durbin, and the like minded lefties)

Napolitano suggested that critics have taken the report's findings out of context and that there has been a lot of political spinning "out there in Washington, D.C. land."..(like refering to soldiers as POTENTIAL RIGHT WING EXTREMIST...ehhh janet?)   oh by the way soldiers...JANET  Napolitano....say hi and thanks you for your service, and sacrifice to your country.......................by spitting in your face...............HOOOOOAH!.....RIFF
