Obama should pick up the phone and call Sarko for advice.

While the Captain of an American ship is being held hostage by Somali Pirates, His Barackness is creating commissions to investigate. Every day that passes proves even further just how weak and ineffectual Obama is in a crisis.

Sarkozy called in France’s Special Forces, and in a battle that lasted less than five minutes, the hostages, including a toddler, were freed. Sadly, the young father was killed.

May he rest in peace.

At least one, possibly three hostages died when Israeli commandos took Entebbe Airport 32 years ago.

The world in general did not take that as a lesson to go soft on hostage takers.

CHANGE!

And oh! look! Puppy!
