Here's the thing. He's not an Usurper.

Obama was Elected.

Those are not logically mutually exclusive.

[El Gato]

Hopefully some Naval Officer will come forth to support this.

Officer? That would be good, but I'd settle for the lowest ranking sailor on the bridge at the time.

[El Gato]

Prediction...The Democrats will Impeach him to try to save their sorry hides.

Most likely he has enough deterrent dirt on enough of them to forestall that possibility.

[CaliforniaCon]

Agree that it happened this way. Anyone who thought about this for two minutes would realize zero prevented the Seals from ending this much sooner!

Zero gets NO credit for anything here.

[AFreeBird]

Fine. So ZerØ is not a usurper. But he is a “pretender”, and not a very good one.

Stayed away from the ops speculations on this since I know that once the Skipper of the Bainbridge got his orders to proceed to rescue Maersk Alabama from 300 miles away, he most likely requested from Fleet for a team to be sent in for a rendezvous. Heard too many stories to the contrary and too many theories on how the rescue proceeded.

I find it hard to believe that the request from Bainbridge to Fleet to Foggy Bottom was denied, delayed or stepped on for political reasons. This conflicts with SOP given to the on site commander and OOB determined by Fleet command. Sounds like the Admiral had JAG working overtime finagling and parsing orders from CIC looking for a solution to do what was supposed to be done in the first place.

Dialog oughtn't take four days, the Navy came up with the right solution saving not only Captain Phillips but also the CIC's sorry ass. The latter is the only downside in this event.

I knew there was something up when his people said Obama called to take action twice. I thought that was strange. It was just the opposite.

[El Gato]

saving not only Captain Phillips but also the CIC's sorry ass. The latter is the only downside in this event.

Ain't the FReeping Truth?!

Well that and one live "pirate" about to be tried in juvenile court. In New York City where he can inspire countless cases of Sudden Jihad Syndrome, and maybe a few not so sudden ones as well.

This story is very interesting, except for one or two things I dont understand....

DEVGRU/NSWC SEAL
ROE restriction
RIB
Bainbridge CPN
CDR OpArea
OSC
NSWC

Would you please be kind enough to point me in the direction of a lexicon that can tell me what those Acronyms mean?

Thank you very much!

If true, the Cpt’s career is dead in the water. Also, anyone who tries to stand up for him will, most likely, be pushed out of the service as well.

That’s how purges work.

Someone who’s familiar with the Navy and its inner workings should keep an eye on this over the long term.

Well that and one live "pirate" about to be tried in juvenile court. In New York City where he can inspire countless cases of Sudden Jihad Syndrome, and maybe a few not so sudden ones as well.

I predict ACORN membership, a job in Chicago, book deal, and Oprah gig for the boy.

[Grimmy]

Employment with ACORN HQ as a special advisor in refreshing their database of dead folk ready to be registered for voting Democrat. He’s got a whole new country full of names.

[little jeremiah]

BTTT.

[April Lexington]

Prediction...The Democrats will Impeach him to try to save their sorry hides. When the polls go south so will his “friends”.

Any indication as to when this might happen???

[April Lexington]

Normally in an event like this Captain Phillips would be the news prize of the week, all of the MSM would be doing interviews of him and parading him around for ratings.

Flash back to the pilot who landed the plane on the Hudson. 24/7 coverage. This poor guy... nothing. NOBODY embarrasses the O...

[aruanan]

Here's the thing. He's not an [sic] Usurper [sic]. Obama was Elected.

Someone who is not qualified for the office, even if elected, is still a usurper. Barry has never shown himself to be qualified. His obfuscatory actions in this matter make it more likely than not that he is, indeed, unqualified for the office for one or more reasons and, hence, a usurper.

[BIGLOOK]

Hope this helps...

DEVGRU/NSWC SEAL means (US Navy Special Warfare) Developmental Group. NSWC means Naval Surface Warfare Center and SEALS is self explanatory.

ROE means Rules of Engagement.

RIB is a Rigid Inflatable Boat.

Bainbridge CPN is the Captain or Skipper of the Bainbridge. Once this would have been written as CO USS Bainbridge.

OSC means Office of Special Counsel, which is called in when the situation is FUBAR.

NSWC....see above.

Don't sweat the short speak....it'll change in a month or two and we'll all have to go through this again.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

The United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group, commonly known as DEVGRU or SEAL Team Six (ST6), is the secret United States Naval Special Warfare Command’s tier-one special missions and counter-terrorism unit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Special_Warfare_Development_Group

ROE = Rules of Engagement, agreed-upon rules that the military must follow.

Anyone else know what the others are?

[screaminsunshine]

Slowly but surely. Everything he does exposes his beliefs a little more.

[KarenMarie]

Thank you, very much!
