This article amounts to nothing more than a literary oral gratification of 0bama.
Most obvious in this is Obama's leadership, today's version of speaking softly and carrying a big stick,
If 0bama has such a big stick, the UDT or SEALS would have had this hostage freed and all pirates dead by now.

The captain managed to jump out of the boat and what happens? Nobody shoots at the boat or goes to help the captain, and the pirates grab him again.
Don’t discount that that won’t happen. They may be wearing the pirates down. The sun is hot, the sea is heaving, they have run out of gas. The surveillance aircraft circles overhead. The destroyers and frigates surround them. The maggot reinforcements they call in are an easy capture. You think they are gonna last?
