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.

The situation speaks loudly for itself.

Captain jumps into shark infested waters because his chances are better than the help from an obama led US

Where is Dick Cheney when you need him.....

“What’s the “slow Joe Biden” crisis?”
That should be “slow-Joe” Biden. I was referring to the “crisis” that Biden implied would test the Obama administration in he first six months. Of course Obama is busy manufacturing as many “crises” as possible to provide cover for his plans of a socialist takeover. “Never let a good crisis go to waste”.

Well, they have received food and water. Now, the pirates are sending reinforcements with their own hostages from peeviously captured ships. Great. Pirates recapture US hostage after escape attempt

[taildragger]

Which raises the question, why has the Bamster let the Seals take care of this?

They would sneak up to the boat, neutralize the pirates and free the captain.

End of story....

My G_d is this guy incompetent...

[Poe White Trash]

>>> Obviously they have no fear of Obama. <<<

Why should they? They’re pirates, not idiots.

[WayneS]

Really?

I had not previously heard that he is “concerned”!

Well, if he’s CONCERNED then everything’s okay!\

What a BRAVE and strong MAN he is! Aslo good-looking and articulate - just ask Joe Biden.

;^)

Apparently, the crisis Biden predicted that 0 would face was... the Office Of The Presidency.

Didn’t my beloved Marine Corps already fight this war some 200 years ago? Yeaaaaaaaaaaa...seems like I remember the lyrics to a song “from the Halls of Motezumaaaaaaaaaaaa to the shores of Tripoleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...”
Sooner or later we are gonna have to give these muzzies the jihad they so desperately want!

Semper Fi,

[angelcindy]

he doesn;t want to go back on his word that we are not at war with islam...lol

[Deaf Smith]

"It’ll end in tears now."

Like in what happened to the USS Cole?

[acsrp38]

GLOBAL WARMING ALERT!!
This is from DU -- if you can stand it!!

[top 2 toe red]

It also is not a very “Christian” response, I suppose. But HEY - “our” own president just last week told the WORLD that the United States is NOT a Christian nation, so WTF, eh?

Right on! After "we" level that whole little town of theirs, including all those "virgins" clamoring to marry these pirating terrorists...the rest of the world just may start begging us to return to our Christian roots!

[Go Gordon]

“Operation kill pirates” needs to start, like yesterday.

Why not call it "Operation Pittsburgh". It goes without saying that everybody kills the Pirates.

[babygene]

Qbama’s a muslim ass-wipe

[harwood]

According to PMSNBC, they are merely "fishermen"...

I'm sick of the media calling them pirates; they are AQ

[TSgt]

You know America is in trouble when thug pirates in small boats don't fear the wrath of the U.S. Navy.

[CatoRenasci]

we don’t have battlehships anymore, just destroyers and cruisers without enough guns to sink much of anything. and the missiles are too expensive to waste on these pirates....

[top 2 toe red]

...and to think there are still FReepers, FReepers who actually lament, "Oh, if only hillary had been elected...oh, I miss the clintons."

She is ever bit the idiot that obama is the idiot, just in different ways. Neither one of the morons were/are morally, intellectually capable of running this nation for one split second. Both are power hungry, narcissist fools...and we, as a nation have to pay the price not only their stupidity, but for the stupidity of the people that that let them take over!!

[Quix]

I think you are quite right.

Though how well one has managed to demonstrably LOVE the locals authentically and sacrificially . . . will have an impact.

AND, THERE IS GOD.

As Hannah W Smith said in THE GOD OF ALL COMFORT.
