Reports indicate that pirates holding American Cargo Ship Captain Richard Phillips hostage, fired on sailors from the USS Bainbridge who had approached the pirates' lifeboat in a small vessel attempting to communicate with them. Having been fired on, the sailors reportedly retreated back to the Bainbridge, not wanting to cause harm to Captain Phillips. This standoff is now in it's fourth day. The pirates are demanding $2 million ransom and safe passage in exchange for Phillips. . . . . . (Watch Video)

We have an ICK
or, a traitor
in the WH.
We ought to give them the $2M. Add a tracking device, and them hunt THEM DOWN AND KILL THEM! Make a damn example of them in front of the world.
But our pansy-in-chief would be afraid of doing something like that.
retreated WTF should have opened fire and blew them to hell Sorry Skipper
I would prefer that Obama keep studying this...
How to talk like a pirate

and then he can let the military do its job... and rescue the captain... :-)
Tear gas and snipers, problem over. I’m referring to the problem in the ocean, not the one in washington....
You said — But our pansy-in-chief would be afraid of doing something like that.

Well, let’s hope that Obama is not “tested” like Reagan was.... it’s probably better that way...
A previous post of mine below...
Well, an interesting thing happened on the way to Free Republic for me, yesterday..., it just started with a simple post yesterday and two little items on it... I never intended for the following list to come about... LOL...
Here’s where it all started, and then some FReepers started giving me some more events.. :-)

It’s a good comparison of what Obama is doing now, and you can compare it to what Reagan did in his terms in office (Oh wow!...)...
Toss a damn stun grenade in the damn boat and get the guy. This is not rocket science! Damn I'm pissed!
This gets more and more bizarre. No wonder these pirates have no respect for us and their fellow pirates [with hostages] are coming to the scene to help them out. The first African-American President doesn’t want to kill Africans no matter what the provocation.
Here is a solution, take 2 destroyers of any nationality, have them go at half speed, or even 3/4 speed, and just do circles around the life boat at opposite ends. After an hour or so, they’ll be so sick and banged up, they’ll want to give up.

It’s a muslim thing. Seriously.
Those pirates better watch it, or the FBI will add charges to their arrest warrant.
his european grand tour made us so proud, after all.
I found the CNN report interesting. The lifeboat is supposedly now just 20 miles off the coast of Somalia. I guess the tides are carrying it in.
The teleprompter in chief will not allow an attack on fellow muslims.
The US is bringing in a “box shipâ€. They are used for heavy duty small landing attacks. They have helicopters too. They could literally cover this small raft inside the box ship. It’s gonna get more interesting.
Printing is our only option financially.
ROTFLMAO
