"When he went for that swim today, it didn’t surprise me at all,” said Peter Wakefield, who grew up with the captain outside Boston and visited him last month. “He’s got good intuition, and he’s a very determined guy.”

This was the opportunity to open fire on the pirates and snatch the Captain.....he was ready, the Navy was not.

I'm not necessarily blaming the Navy, they probably have orders from Obamaland not to shoot. Which, ironically, may end up costing Phillips his life.

I think they’ll get the captain, all right, one way or another. After that, the navy can get out of that place. No use hanging around there. Leave it to the other ships... :-)

Obama...may end up costing Phillips his life.

No doubt about that at all. Until he 'switches' sides back to 'American', he is operating as the Enemy Within(-in-chief). Clearly a role model (or at least enabler) for terrorists everywhere! The State Department needs to publish a new list of dangerous countries if you're an American travelling abroad...All of them. Don't expect help from the State Dept. under this administration! Carter was Obama lite!
