"Standoff With Pirates Shows U.S. Power Has Limits,"
It is not a limit of arsenal power, but it is a limit of will power.
The US has lost the political will to resolve such situations decisively.
Clinton and Mogadishu.
Bush and the plane captured by the Chinese.
The US has become fearful of doing anything that would upset the UN, the Euros, the Muslims, the Mexicans, etc.

The best analogy is constipated chicken shit. There is no power involved, merely lack of courage.
The truth is Obama has a distaste and disdain for power.
