I wouldn’t believe this.......it’s called CYA time for this embarrassing administration. He has been tested by 4 pirates and he loses..........
I could not be prouder of our armed forces than at this moment. They decided whehn the best time to save the CAptain was, took action, and saved him. They said they had standing authority from the President to take this very action if they had the opportunity.
If the Captain was allowed to make landfall with these pirates, it would have been time to impeach the clown in the White House.
This is our Navy, Marines, and SEALS’ moment.
And the Captain’s as well—Capt. Phillips. Had he not treded himself for his crew’s, this would not have been as claean an ending, as boarding the Maersk Alabama would have presented opportunities for the pirates to take out multiple crew and military members.
Those Americans that fought the Barbary pirates 204 years ago are smiling in approval, somewhere, at their illustrious posterity.
