Taylor on Napolitano

Gene Taylor ALMOST calls for Napolitano's resignation.

Rep. Gene Taylor (D-Miss.), a member of the conservative Blue Dog group, did not go so far as to ask for Napolitano’s resignation, but was critical of the report’s analysis of veterans.

“The president would not listen if I said it,” Taylor said of calls for her resignation, adding that the assessment of veterans in the report “was just a dumb thing to say. It certainly calls for an apology on her part — and even better, an apology and a clarification.”

“All these Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, they know where to look for an IED, they know what kind of mannerisms a terrorist suspect is going to have, so they’re tremendous assets, and I’m sorry that she missed that.”
