Where were the SEALs? The Navy and Marines are told to stand down. This is the left humiliating America in front of the world.

Hate to second guess Washington - but this is beginning to have Jimmy Carter written all over it.

“Officials: Pirate Fired Weapon in Foiled Escape”

At least somebody fired a Fu<king Gun!

Under Obamba, the Navy and Marines are a bunch of Barney Fife clowns with a bullet in every pocket!

Solution: take 10 Navy Seal divers to swim underneath the raft and overturn it. Rescue the captain and let the pirate rats be shark food. DUH.......

I don’t get it. We have these folks called Navy Seals that can easily terminate 4 pirates in milliseconds. They’re stranded in a lifeboat in the middle of the ocean for crying out loud. Ever heard about scuba gear and night vision goggles?

Is Mr. Gates telling us that the Navy ships he sent to the area do not have any special forces teams that can be dropped, with scuba gear, into the water at night, for a surprise attack AGAINST A LIFE-RAFT!?!?!?!?????

Why hadn’t the Navy anticipated that the hostage might make an escape attempt? There should have been standing autorization to fire on the boat at the first opportunity.

I have to believe that indeed they had considered it, and the orders were to stand down.

Well, if bambi wants the Navy to go easy on the trash, why not shoot them with tranks, grab the captain, and boogie?
