After finally having "given a response" on Friday (as stated by the Obama House spokesman), he upgraded the extent of the permission on Saturday, indicating that use of force was not forthcoming as late as Friday night.
Also the Obama House tried to show continuous Oba-Hussein involvement and making their minimal action into a HUGE matter by repeating and repeating that he gave some form of consent twice.
They tried to show continuous Oba-Hussein involvement and making their minimal action into a HUGE matter by repeating and repeating that he gave some form of consent twice but messed up when they detailed his uprading it, thus unwillling to grant the Navy permission to act right away.
They also downplayed (omitted) that when the Press asked him about it on Wednesday he dodged the question and responded they were there to discuss "HOUSING" not pirates.
He had no clue outside his prepared material. His teleprompters were not set up for this, so he refused to talk about it.
Also does anyone notice how this six person confrontation (five pirates and one American skipper) is being portrayed as if it were a major international military confrontation that required highly skilled and mature military tactics and strategic decision making by Obama!
We have had local neighborhood gang confrontations worse than this, which SWAT groups handled in their stride as a matter of routine course.
Some second-lieutenant, ably and capably, directing the snipers probably made the final decision to shoot! While the Obama House lay awake agonizing whether to shoot fewer than a handful of internationally unpopular pirates?
We have had local neighborhood gang confrontations or hostage situations worse than this, which SWAT groups handled in their stride as a matter of routine course. Without the incredible military leadership of ObaMessiah.
If the pirates retaliate by killing Americans, you can bet that Obama will say, “See??? This is why we should not be using force against these people.”
2nd Lieutenant??
These were SEALS, I think you mean Ensign...

And if the situation turned our badly, you would have seen the so called "president" washing his hands of the whole thing and using the outcome as an excuse to further cut military spending.
Zero is a jingoistic a$$.
He could have risen to the occasion, but has the leadership capability of a gnat.
Zero doesn't trust his own men in uniform, as a fraudulent Commander in Chief. He comes from the socialist precincts of a dirty Chicago neigborhood where integrity is a liability.Zero has never served his nation in uniform.The sooner he vacates the oval office the better.
Zero's "distancing" foppishness will likely get good American servicemen and women killed in the future. Remember Clinton secretly negotiating withdrawal with the Somalis while US Army Special Forces were in shoot outs trying to capture terrorists, many killed unecessarily?Also Clinton refused tanks and armor to the servicemen on the ground, making the work deadly in retrieving downed helicopter crews there. Watch for the Zero to do a LOT worse as events unfold. And through it all Zero will say nothing, and stab his own military in the back if they fail while having one arm tied behind their backs, and claim all victories as his own on the backs of the military , for which he has little genuine respect or understanding.
The military for Obama is nothing more than a photo op in his continuing presidential campaign towards socialism of our nation.
Obama should have made a public statement,"You release captain Phillips , or you are dead men." But I suppose Zero has his head to far up the asses of his Muslim friends diplomatically , to take such a leadership position.That will also get Americans killed.
the sad fact is the MSM/old newspapers leftists will push obama faux leadership in order to validate their obama love. It is akin to a destructive codependents.
The reporters have to stand by obama the same way an abused woman stands by a wife beater until the ugly truth about the relationship is beyond denial.
The MSM does not want reality, they need an intervention.
Thanks for the ping!
Thanks for the information FARS.
Hussein Obama suffered terrible angst about shooting at his supporters..
Second-lieutenant in the navy?
Obama is a disgrace.
