Great news on Easter Sunday: U.S. Naval Forces have killed three pirates and captured one other in freeing American Captain Phillips who has been held hostage for five days! There are conflicting reports as to the details. The NBC News report above says Navy Seals freed Phillips in an assault against the lifeboat. I'm sure we will learn more as the day wears on. . . . . . (Watch Video)

Obama will now apologize to the Muslims for the arrogant actions taken by our Navy SEALS.

great news!
But what I am really wondering now is how or whether the C-I-C had ANYTHING to do with this, or just left it up to the Navy and the Navy Seals.....for his own sake, he’d better not try to take credit for it, if he didn’t give the order. And if he didn’t give the order, he’d be wiser just to express the usual boilerplate about how he did what had to be done, sort of......or not say anything about it at all, which is more likely, and will play better in the Muslim world, since he can still convey a “slow burn” at this event, as if he didn’t really want it to happen/

Fox is reporting that the Navy took advantage of a situation initiated by Capt. Phillips. Where did you hear that Obama gave them the “go-ahead”? Fox is reporting that the Navy decided not to wait for the U.N. to do anything.

jwparkerjr you can kiss my fat a**! Here is the recipe... take one hostage, 4 islamic pirates and add Navy Seals. The resulting dish is 3 dead scum and one free man.

Here is what that pin head jwparkerjr wrote:

It's a bunch of crap to you as you sit there idly posting remarks and comments in the safety and comfort of your home in the good ol’ USA. It's quite a different view if the captain is your husband, brother, etc. or if you're the captain himself. Do you honestly think that trying to save his life is a bunch of crap? Do you really think that storming the lifeboat and killing them, and him, will end the threat of piracy on the high seas by a bunch of cowardly thugs? We'll just have to agree to disagree on this.

There has been no statement that “The One” had anything more than backhanded approval for this operation. “Yeah, go ahead and put a few ships there; you screw up and it’s your a$$!”

You been posting this crap on all these pirate threads and it’s getting tiresome - are you being facetious or serious?
