Former SEAL: Taking-out pirates holding American captain "not an operational problem"
Fox News Live | 4/12/09

Posted on 04/12/2009 7:10:30 AM PDT by pabianice

Fox just interviewed off screen a former SEAL regarding why the Somali pirates are being allowed to take the kidnapped US merchant captain to Somalia. In his words, 'this is not an operational issue.' In other words, Obama is ordering that no action be taken until he can get permission from the 'international community.' The SEAL noted that they have been training for just this situation since 1981.

Meanwhile, the French rescue their people.

WHy did it take so long for BHO to sign the Order? Why did it have to be so qualified, ‘imminent danger’ to the life of Capt Phillips, other than to cover his arse if anything went wrong? I’d sooner trust the SEALs than the community organizer.
