This is a total embarrassment for America. It's a joke that such a powerful country can't deal with 4 terrorists holding a man in a lifeboat, and they have the gall to shoot at our sailors. It's clear that most likely, our sailors can't fire back because they have orders by Obama not to do so.
The cowardice of this so-called 'leader' is despicable. He is negotiating with terrorists? I won't be surprised if from now on we start seeing these kinds of events more frequently, and that terrorists around the world will be emboldened to bomb us anywhere, at anytime. Once terrorists understand that that our government won't protect our citizens, it's open season on American interests around the world.
This is an outrage! Imagine the reaction if this would have happened under a Republican administration? After all these days of inaction by the government, the media would have been up in arms.
Put bait ships out there, which look exactly like normally staffed merchant vessels but are armed to the teeth. Pirates check in, don’t check out. I suppose “humane traps” could be devised as well if the Obummer insisted.
