U.S. ship captain held by pirates off Somalia, has been freed,

CNN ^

[TribalPrincess2U]

Wouldn't surprise me if 0 asked, "how much, guys?" He had to get this out of the news so he secretly paid off his fellow cult members.

[Non-Sequitur]

This STILL took entirely too long.

Three out of four pirates dead, captain safe, ship and crew safe, no ransom paid. What difference does it make if it took one day or five? The end result is what is important, and short of four dead pirates I don't know how it could be any better.

[jazusamo]

Excellent!

[al baby]

oh please how could it not be sarcastic I like to stir the pot

[junta]

No let the bombing begin till the rubble bounces and none of it stands taller than one foot.

[spectre]

USA!!!!

[bmwcyle]

AMEN

[Dr. Ursus]

Fox has nothing!!

[Riley]

Yep, it smells really specop-y. :-)

To the operators who pulled it off- OUTSTANDING.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Actually, the Captain alive is more than 99% good. The other less than 1% is four dead pirates. One is alive. Hope he likes “watersports”. Maybe they can bring back Dick Cheney as a senior adviser.

[tiredoflaundry]

Because, *O* promised his lawyers at least one, so his lawyers can defend him in court. Ya know, show how badly we treat pirates, possibly charge the braves rescuers with torture etc...

And now it’s time to level their lair of Eyl, Somalia.

There also are apparently some YouTube vids of the newly enriched pirate town of Eyl, I haven’t see them but was informed they’re out there.

[ChinaThreat]

My bets was a US Navy Seal Team swimming up to the boat and killing the pirates with supressed weapons at night.

[spectre]

Freed? WTH? He was RESCUED!!!

[spectre]

Freed? WTH? He was RESCUED!!!

[Recovering_Democrat]

Wow, so did Hussein negotiate with ‘em? LOL.

[savedbygrace]

I’m probably wrong, but when we heard about the Navy vessel coming close to the ‘lifeboat’ then roaring off, the thought that came to me wsx that the SEALs were hanging on to the side and dropped off unseen near the pirate boat, then attacked a little later.

Can hardly wait for the real story to come out.

[Safrguns]

Why were’nt the “pirates” ALL killed?

Because then there would be nobody left for Obama to pardon and set free on American Soil.

[Mike Darancette]

It will be a long tine until we know what happened - that is a good thing. Keep the pirates guessing!

[Kansas58]

Iraq was a disaster for terrorists.

We still have terrorists.

Afghanistan was a disaster for terrorists.

We still have terrorists.

(Although they have not attacked on US soil since 9-11)

This took too long.

If we now take out the ports and the pirate bases and the other pirate boats I will be impressed.

[hattend]

Pizza for everybody! Huzzah!

[junta]

Hell half his advisers wanted him to surrender our coutnry to the pirates. Bill Ayers is sad.

[jveritas]

What difference does it make if it took one day or five?

The difference is that our more dangerous enemies have been greatly emboldened by us taking so much time to resolve this problem that could have been solved in the first few hours if not for Obama the defeatist doing nothing about it. They know that Obama is the weakest President ever and they are going to cause us a lot of harm because of this.

[lonevoice]

That's regarding the original ship hijacking and hostage taking. Has nothing to do with the rescue of Captain Phillips on the lifeboat a few hours ago. No details forthcoming yet on how this rescue was achieved.

[topfile]

Navy must have been released to do what the Navy does.

[Kansas58]

Obama and Axelrod read the polls.

What happens when we need a FAST decision, before the polling can take place?

[Mr. Mojo]

I see. Thanks.

[geo40xyz]

Al babie, you need to give a hint of political views to prevent unnecessary bombardment:-()

[Husker8877]

Well said indeed.

[fanfan]

That was the container ship.

This involves the Captain of the container ship who was being held hostage on a life boat.

[kenmcg]

Thanks to the American military. Welcome home Capt. Phillips.
Only way to deal with terrorists-pirates.......kill them.

[mick]

This shouldn’t be over. The Mother Ship(s) and the pirate bases must be destroyed. Let slip the dogs of war on these savages.

[al baby]

Obama came though and you guys all doubted him he is the man

[BykrBayb]

Really? Woo hoo!!!!

[BradyLS]

Awesome news! Time to clean out the den!

[djf]

Nothing on Google news search either yet...

[Safrguns]

I think what we may learn in coming days is that commanders in the field may have acted against any executive level orders (if any existed), and took it upon themselves to do the right thing.

[Non-Sequitur]

The difference is that our more dangerous enemies have been greatly emboldened by us taking so much time to resolve this problem that could have been solved in the first few hours if not for Obama the defeatist doing nothing about it.

Which 'more dangerous enemies' would that be? Are there other pirates out there worse than these?

The pirates tried to take a U.S. ship and hold it for ransom. They failed completely, their hostage has been freed, and three of four are dead. It's hard to see where anyone can see how the pirates won anything out of that.

[al baby]

I have been here long enough my peeps know

[jennyjenny]

Excellent!

[Flavius]

do we need to know

in case they have to do it again

maybe id dont need to know how they did it

[bert]

Fox is the enemy. CNN is the tool of the Messanic cult. CNN gets the glory.

[Mike Darancette]

The difference is that our more dangerous enemies have been greatly emboldened by us taking so much time to resolve this problem that could have been solved in the first few hours if not for Obama the defeatist doing nothing about it.

Now the pirates know that we have a good plan and will be going after our own.

[lonevoice]

CNN reporting that the 3 pirates were shot by Navy Seals or other military personnel.

[trumandogz]

Perhaps, but the captain is safe, America can rejoice on this Easter Sunday. However, this will give Obama a bump in the polls and that is better than having lost the captain to the pirates.

[HollyB]

Did you drink the kool aid?

[fella]

Fox has nothing!!

It seems that our impartial government gave CNN an exclusive.

[spectre]

Unfortunately, the unsung heroes who rescued these guys will remain anonymous. God Bless Them!
