Can you direct us to the thread?
I’m betting that post on another thread is just someone making assumptions, with no evidence of those orders.
Hmmmmmm? I wonder, what would Palin do in this situation?
Here’s some info on the lifeboat - it’s enclosed and similar to the ones carried by cruise liners:

It is too late to send any message to Al Qaeda terrorists, the Taliban terrorists, the Iranian terrorist regime, the North Korean communist regime, Hizballah terrorists, Hamas terrorists and host of our other enemies not mention Russia and China. No matter what we do now in this hostage situation these enemies are greatly emboldened by our weak response to the Somali pirates even if we end up killing all the pirates and launching missiles into Somalia. They know that Obama is the weakest President ever and because of that they are going to cause us great harm.
I don't believe that for a second. They are going to kill him in front of the whole world, as soon as CNN is on scene - and Obama will let them go.
Not at all.
Obama has already sent them a message, and they've heard it loud and clear.
Hmmmmmm? I wonder, what would Palin do in this situation?
The hunter would become the hunted.
Thanks
And what was this message Obama sent? We are weak, very weak.
Let’s see...........FUBO has already drafted the strongly worded letter, and Hillary has spoken the really stern rhetoric on tv.....the fbi negotiators are in place.... that will be it from america...and the message sent is “Come on over and take our people, anytime, anyway you please. After all, it’s not like we were at war with you or anything”.......
Snipers were my thought too. I don’t know how people hide in a 20’ life boat. The waves could be a challenge for the snipers, however.
Divers? Is there a seal team that can swim out there? A small hole to cause a gradual sinking would certainly get things moving along.
If we can’t handle 4 terrorists holding one man hostage in the middle of the ocean with no fuel and limited food and water, I will be embarrassed.
The teleprompter says "ask Nancy Pelosi what to do, she's a been big help so far"
Home port: Mayport (which was also home port of the Stark).
FUBO needs to have someone play for him the USMC anthem, especially the part about “to the shores of Tripoli).
My opinion of FUBO (looking for those stickers as I love that one), is lower than whale dung and getting lower by the day.
....Then I saw the link to the lifeboat and my question was answered. no snipers.
“We have them in sight and have begun to draft the proposal for release. The people of the world must know that we are fair and honorable. We will not rush to destruction in a moment of anger. The prosperity of the world depends on free and unrestricted sea lanes and we will prosecute offenders to the full extent of the law”
Thus saith the Teleprompter on Blackening Friday
James Morrison could play Capt. Phillips, since Scott Glenn is too old.
Maybe so. If that is the case, we better close up shop and fly the white flag.
Never in the course of human events has a nation’s prestige fallen so quickly IMO.
