While Hillary Clinton thought the pirate situation was funny, our great US Navy did not. They took it seriously and rescued the Captain while killing three of the four Islamic pirates. This is a wonderful Easter gift for the brave Captain Phillips and his family. God blessed them.

Definitely missing the /sarc!
The pirates are encouraged even more now because Obama is calling this an “fbi investigation”.
Obama has shown weakness and weakness will cause more attacks.
I would hope that Obama had little to nothing to do with this all along, just as I would have hoped GW would have had little to do with it. Step aside and let the experts handle it. One thing you DON’T is go in half-cocked before you have everything set up.
And our rescue ended up better than the French one. Nobody except the pirates dead and done is less time than it took the French to act.
There are still 250 captives remaining from many nations. As far as I know, only the French and the U.S. have managed rescues without paying ransom (which private companies do sometimes).
The captain was rescued DESPITE obama’s interference with the military not because.
The FBI failed and as a reward Obama has put them in charge.
I bet the reality is something along the lines of, since the captain was unsuccessful once he is unlikely to be able to jump out again so it is ok for the military to prepare for that “not gonna happen” event.
I speculate based on Obama’s ivory tower past bla bla BS, that this is the WORST case scenario for Obama and that is why he personally has ordered the FBI to take charge.
Seriously, why is the crew now hostage to the FBI, if this is a mere police matter, there is NOTHING a police officer can do to keep a us citizen from talking to the press.
FOX said he might be tried here. What a waste of money, just kill him.
Nor, is he a U.S. President.
He just plays one on TV.
Good points.
Is he crew being detained in Kenya by the FBI? Creepy, isn’t it?
Your theory about BO counting on the Captain not jumping into shark infested water again makes a lot of sense.
Maybe you're not aware, but Obama's been a laughing stock for awhile now. Problem is he's making the US one.
SCHWEEEEET!!
Correct!!!
Thank you.
He is nothing more than a cheeky Kenyan bastard.
The commander in training had nothing to do with the rescue other than giving the go ahead. The true patriots are the SEALS that pulled off the mission.
I don't know, but how about this, reported by Fox:
"the illegal trade is believed backed by an international network of Somali expatriates who offer funds, equipment and information in exchange for a cut of ransoms."
And hey, how about those 40 or so Somalis who disappeared from Minnesota; one of whom blew himself up in Somalia?
It would seem, if there's a chance to get a lead on whose making money from this -- especially if that profit resides in the US Somali refugee community -- then go for it.
Serious or facetious (referring to a prior thread)?
Keep the faith, al baby!
They will find him innocent as a “world economic refugee” or some such BULL SH&*
Well duh
