The MSM can’t allow Obama to fail because they have too much vested interest in him! After all, they were his biggest cheerleaders.

I just can't help wondering what prompted these 4 pirates to go after a US vessel after all these years of avoiding them.
I wonder where that order came from.

From Drudge and Breitbart and the AP....spin starting already???:
Obama twice approved force to rescue hostage
****************************EXCERPT*****************************
WASHINGTON (AP)—Administration officials say President Barack Obama approved the military operation that rescued a U.S. captain held hostage by Somali pirates.
The officials say Obama ordered the Defense Department to use military resources to rescue Richard Phillips from a lifeboat off the Somali coast.
The officials discussed this information on the condition of anonymity because they were not yet authorized to disclose the president's decision-making

The first thing I thought when reading that AP article citing orders from Obama was "yeah, sure".
I half expect to see "war room" photos next:

No, but 3 out of 4 pirates have nothing bad to say about the US of A.

I’m amazed by the pin point accuracy of the sharpshooters I see on the cop shows on TrueTV or whatever it’s called, and they are in a fixed postion. Regardless of how calm the sea was, for three separate shots to be that accurate with both the shooter and target moving is awesome.

On the positive side, he didn’t order the Capt. killed either, did he?

Where’s Murtha? How come we’re not looking to try and convict these soldiers? What gives them the right? /s
At least Carter gave the order to save the hostages. Choco-Carter waited for someone else to do his job.

I'm surprised obama hadn't ordered only non-lethal force in any rescue attempt. Seriously, that sounds like just the idealistic BS someone like him would pull. Thank God the Navy and/or Marines got it done before they got too much "help" from above.
So, for this successful surface action, what does the ship paint on the side of the wheel house? A lifeboat, or a turban?
