Credit where credit is due........Obama made the right call here and our Navy pulled it off like the heroes they are (when we let ‘em.......)

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.

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$$!”

Obama made no call at all. Best he stay out of this stuff himself.

Now for the captives in Mexico, in Iran, in ......

I have to agree.....God Bless the US Navy, God help the USA.

Obama has been the problem from the moment this situation started. He is the Commander in Chief and the reason this captain wasn't rescued sooner (when he jumped in the water the first time) was because the navy most likely had orders by the Commander in Chief not to do anything. Now the media is spinning that it took the Seals a long time to implement this rescue plan and that's why they didn't rescue the capt. sooner.

These soldiers are professionals, and they are highly trained specifically for these kinds of terrorists attacks. It would've taken them just a few hours to execute a plan like this, maybe sooner.  Instead it took days.  Come on!  Obama was revealed to be a weak, inept, and incompetent individual. Obama's people were negotiating with the terrorists, for crying out loud!  Then the negotiations broke down, and in the meantime days had passed and the life of this captain was in danger.

Obama should have known that you can't negotiate with terrorists and that there was no need to expose Capt. Phillips to possible torture and death at the hands of these individuals for so many days. The rescue plan should have been implemented a lot sooner. We don't know many of the details of the last several days, because the media is more interested in covering for this man rather than asking him the tough question. That this whole situation dragged on for days speaks poorly of the so-called leader, and shows weakness and ineptitude. We don't know or if there was a call made by Obama, and if there was it means Obama had to accept reality, look the other way (since Obama hasn't taken credit for this), and let the professionals do their job.  If he didn't make the call, hooray for the professionals for taking the initiative, demonstrating once again that Obama is a lousy leader.

Obama is in trouble with the Muslims though, because his approach makes him look no different than Bush.  Furthermore, they are going to view him as weak, and I wouldn't be surprised if terrorists attacks on Americans everywhere start happening with greater frequency. Obama doesn't want to showcase that he had a big part in this operation because that's not the image he wants to portray to the Muslim world, but I'm sure they can see through the smoke.
