The link said his escape was witnessed by a UAV. We should have destroyed the lifeboat once he was off of it.

You said — Maybe we should thank the Somali pirates for testing Obama this early in the new administration.

Talk about “testing” a President, take a look at the testing that Reagan went through on my list that I compiled today. It’s quite informative.

I don’t think Obama will match up to Reagan and what he had to go through no matter how long Obama is in office.

With nothing concrete to base this on other than my gut . . . I don’t believe this was the test Biden spoke of during the campaign. What we are watching simply may be an extra.

I wonder is this is what Biden meant when he said Obama was going to be tested?

I thought the same thing! Where are our highly trained experts? Perhaps they have been told to stand down and do NOTHING?????
What the hell are we doing... handing our enemies a hammer to pound us with?????

I hear another group of pirates with Dutch hostages they have been holding for a while are rushing to join their friends.

No way! at all...

You gotta look at that list I compiled and you would see this is no test at all...

See post #2

This is the pre-test. Sort of like the practice test you take before you take the SAT’s.
Just putting it into the ONE’s realm of understanding.
Wonder if he failed that one and the SAT and got into Harvard based on race.

Why don’t 4 snipers just fire at once and kill all the pirates? Maybe Obama does not want to hurt the poor Islamic terrorists.

My bad, I never learn from those that know everything.

Obama, Pelosi, Reid and Hillary.

I’m not surprised at the policy underachievement by “team zer0bama” so far...not even disappointed - I knew to expect this kind of moronic appeasement and inaction.

I’m just terribly concerned for the future security of my Republic and my fellow (non-Obamanation) citizens. None of those in charge are competent to the task.

ner0bama is already fiddling, waiting for America to burn to the ground.

I said that with tongue-in-cheek. I don’t think Biden’s IQ is above room temperature.

You are just an underserved constituent. Maybe you are eligible for a bailout!

I “captioned” that one in another thread; let’s see if I can remember...

Obama says, “Why don’t we rent ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ to see if we can get some ideas about how to handle this crisis!”

LOL...
