Wow! Was that take determined before of after what Janet said on NBC this morning! Where she claims the statement "the system worked" was taken out of the context of what she actually meant to say, that "the system worked" only was referring to the "system" of after incident response, and should not be viewed in the context of the entire conversation regarding the complete failure of the 'lets identify and treat appropriately individuals who seek to attack us" system.
Because of that obvious confusion on the part of everyone who does not employ the fine art of partisan motivated hair splitting analysis defense she has now stated what any person with a minimum of brain capacity knows:
A day after saying the system worked, Napolitano backtracked, saying her words had been taken out of context.
"Our system did not work in this instance," she said on NBC television's "TODAY" show. "No one is happy or satisfied with that. An extensive review is under way."

It should be noted that Napolitano was not the only administration official “taken out of context”, Robert Gibbs was parroting the same pabulum propaganda on ABC’s This week and CBS’s Face the Nation on Sunday.
