Short answer: Yes.
The Secretary of Homeland Security is challenging Joe Biden for the title of Gaffe Master of the Obama administration (although the boss is a close third). In the past week, she's approved a report that names vets and conservatives as homeland security risks, said that crossing the border illegally is not a felony and now her latest gaffe may top them all as it alienates an ally:
Can someone please tell us how U. S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano got her job? She appears to be about as knowledgeable about border issues as a late-night radio call-in yahoo.Does Napolitano have even an iota of a clue? People who don't follow the news, have no Internet connection and don't listen to the radio know full-well that the hijackers arrived via US airports. In fact, even the most clueless among us knows that Atta and the others entered using visas and some attended flight school. If it wasn't for a man named Jose Melendez Perez and his thoughtful profiling, the 20th would have entered via Florida.
In an interview broadcast Monday on the CBC, Ms. Napolitano attempted to justify her call for stricter border security on the premise that "suspected or known terrorists" have entered the U. S. across the Canadian border, including the perpetrators of the 9/11 attack.
All the 9/11 terrorists, of course, entered the United States directly from overseas. The notion that some arrived via Canada is a myth that briefly popped up in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, and was then quickly debunked.
We have gone from a very smart administrator--Michael Chertoff--to a woman who doesn't have the first clue as to what security means and she's in charge of our national defense essentially. What qualification does she have? Answer: none.
So now we have a DHS secretary who is absolutely unqualified for the position at a time that Obama is cutting our intel-gathering abilities and al-Qaeda is ramping back up to take us out. I feel really good about our national security right about now.
The only person who was a worse choice for a homeland security position was Golan Cipel who was allegedly Jim McGreevey's boy toy and had zero qualifications for the position.
Update: Allah has some thoughts as well.

This is just sad. I mean how does a person like her get into such a function? The Secretary of Homeland Security, shouldn't people who are intelligent, not ignorant, representative be in that function? It's sad that a person like her can just add more power to that American stereotype that has been here for so long.
Take care, Elli
It is not that Napolitano thought 9/11 terrorists came from Canada that is so bizarre it is that she has no knowledge about the most reported terrorist event ever.
