The situation is FAR more serious than the lives of the individual sailors.

An American-flagged ship was hijacked by stateless pirates in international waters. First time in over 200 years.

The US fought a little "war" over this early in our statehood.

That a US President would have nothing to say on this matter is CRIMINAL.

Another thought. It has almost always been the case that if Americans outside of this country that were caught in a sticky situation, the US would either rescue them or work for their release. What I take from this incident is that if you are an American citizen overseas and you get in a jam, you are s o l. obambi will leave you to swing in the wind. Thanks for nothing dems and all the ignorant people who voted for him. I fear that a lot of people are going to end up dead due to this idiot’s actions/inactions.
