I’m not up to speed on that.

Sorry

If it takes cheese eating surrender monkeys to get Obama off his duff, so be it.

[machogirl]

He planted the story about the 800 mile journey of his “pizza chef” to deflect the attention of the pirates.

Yes, playing chess with for pirates is not like playing chess with China.

However, in the end there was victory and our man is safe.

Now, what do you think should have been done in the first 24 hours to save the captain?

I thought he was saying now Barry needs to come down and clean up these pirates—get these guys. That’s how I took it. FReeper Lilycicero called him—Joe the Sailor!

Something about your posts raises red flags.

We come across as petty and bilous as the DUmmiess were against Bush when we cannot simply say "God bless America and our military" and leave it at that, without knowing a lick about what Obama did or did not do.

***********************

I'm afraid I must disagree. It is of the utmost importance that we do know what role Obama played in this. Going forward, we absolutely need to know whether our CIC is going to be on the side of our country and our military, or if he is going to actively or by inaction support our enemies.

Fortunately for Us, It worked. I am quite sure You were NOT involved and do not know the details. However, today is a beautiful Easter!

[eyedigress]

That’s allright neither am I. Let’s hope we take this opportunity to take care of a bunch of them since we have such fire-power so close.

Hey they had better not violate those pirate’s rights....did they even read them their rights? Was a lawyer there? Did they say pretty please? What about some outreach program or sensitivity training???????

I misplaced my modifier. :^)

I meant we are spouting off without knowing what role Obama played. At this point, we should be proud of our military and the good captain and leave it at that until we know more about what role Obama played (which I do agree we should learn at some time in the near future).

[STARWISE]

Ok .. good! And thank you!

[rodguy911]

Moral of the story do not mess with either the US navy or Seals.

You would be referring to the 25% that was a fail? >8=)

[roses of sharon]

You are correct....we should give no quarter to Hussein or the MSM, on FR, or anywhere.

[mojitojoe]

However, this will give Obama a bump in the polls and that is better than having lost the captain to the pirates.
___________
NO it will not. All but the biggest of fools know this was accomplished due to the skills of our Navy Seals.

[Kansas58]

LOL
LISTEN to the news!

The captain dove into the water -— had that not happened?

NOTHING else would have happened.

[rodguy911]

I can just hear zero now lamenting the death of the terrorists....
