NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -- Pirates and U.S. warships are racing to the spot in the Indian Ocean where an American sea captain is being held hostage by a handful of pirates.
A Nairobi-based diplomat says the pirates holding Capt. Richard Phillips have summoned assistance. He says skiffs and motherships are heading toward the area from the coast.

I think you are right, Bro.
Even at the slowest most delayed pace, it will be quicker than any of us want. And I see no great indications that sufficient prayers are going up to delay anything.

He is waiting for Soros to tell him what to say. Or he is having a smoke while waiting for his 100.00 a lb Kobe steak.
Either way Obama is an embarrassment

And I do think Americans across the fruited plains, just as soon as this drama ends, will so note.Oh, how I wish you were right, but, when so many of the voting age people of this nation want nothing more than a nannie nation and they see obama as their wet-nurse, I fear we have awhile to go yet.

Maybe we should wait and see how this situation works out before we go out on a limb and condemn BHO.
He could come out smelling like roses if the navy eliminates a whole bunch of pirates.

These pirate boats that are racing to the scene are putting Americans in jeopardy. They should be sunk.

I think to become a leader of the USA . . . he’d have to first
—find a miraculous way to become human.
—find a miraculous way to become a competent human.
—find a miraculous way to become a competent human leader.
—find a miraculous way to become an American.
—find a miraculous way to become a competent human American patriotic leader.
Otherwise, he’s slug slime from the lower cesspools of hell.

Except she’s meaner and more ruthless and more destructive.
Though in this situation she might be enough arrogant to trash the pirates just out of pique.

“embarrassment”
was left in the dust by an SR71
a very very very very long distance BACK.
There’s no word for now.
Even embarrassment to the max just is far too weak.

might not be a bad plan, get about a hundred of them out there and then sink the whole bunch...’sorry, we didnt see any survivors, but there sure were a lot of sharks around’.
If that dumb joker in our Whitehouse allows those skinnies to come in and grab that lifeboat, the Revolution should start immediately. Further, if that happens, then it will be because of the apathy of congressional republicans who need to be drawn and quartered along with Obama.
Need to be heating up the telephones of senators and representatives to get on the WH to get this situation drawn to a close immediately.
Negotiations between the US Navy and a dam lttle boat with 4 skinnies? Unbelievable. Captain goes overboard in the water and the Navy sets there with their thumbs up their butts? Unbelievable. Pirates call shore for help and the Navy sets there to allow them to come in? Unbelievable.
Folks, this has gone past the point of madness.

They are supposedly undoubtedly seeing where all the phone calls are going.
But under no circumstances should they allow them to leave the area.
