U.S. ship captain held by pirates off Somalia, has been freed,

NEWSFLASH: Obama preparing to leave on a world “American Apology tour” to apologize for killing “Terrorists of Color”.

As usual with the Democrats, the first consideration in any event in life is “what is the skin color of those involved”.

[jhw61]

Amen to that. America is the daddy to the world...don’t bite the hand that feeds you! God Bless America.

Thank you Lord. We do not doubt your existence as the rest of the third-world pukes do.

[jveritas]

I did not mean to be rude in my previous post “about copying me” in case you took as such. Happy Easter.

[don-o]

And as you have suggested there are probably only a few that have all the details on this event and how it went down. It may be tough to get the overall skinny.

Which is precisely the point that dirtboy and I were making all along. Just got back on and I am hearing from Fox (via my XM radio) that more details are coming out.

I realize that guesses and speculation are what we often do especially when a story is breaking. It's fun and interesting. Sometimes, some of it is even accurate. And, as far as I am concerned it's OK if it gets a little hot.

But, I do hope we can keep some perspective - accusing eleven year vets of being DU trolls is too ludicrous for words. Not saying you guys did that - it was a noob, whose name I do not even care to look for.

Now to get caught up on this great story.

"This STILL took entirely too long. Also, if there is no retribution, towards the pirates on shore and in the other pirate boats, this stuff will only get worse."

Gimme a break. This is the best outcome anyone could hope for. Hostage situations always require patience. 3 of the 4 pirates killed, the 4th captured, the Captain safe. What more could we want?

For it to happen on the most profound Chrisitan holy day of all -- Easter Sunday in the face of Muslim pirates. And we got it. Our prayers were with Captain Richard Phillips. God spoke.

Kansas would complain if he was hung with a new rope.

Thanks for the update. They were fish in a barrel. And I am glad 3 are dead. They need to broadcast this far and wide. And we need to be clear on this. Attack our ships and we will kill you. IMO.

BTW, I just like to practice making things up in case I ever decide to run for public office. ;-)

[TribalPrincess2U]

What if it were all planned by 0 and his cult buddies? LOL

Hey, Almed, maybe you could get yo peoples and take a US owned ship.
Here is how it’s to go down.... it will make me look so good the peoples
will want to vote me in next election. LOL

Hey, not any different then the mantra, “Bush behind the WTC.”

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

How do you know that? You are making stuff up out of whole cloth.

I'm not making up anything. I'm speculating.

Considering that Phillips tried to escape once, it's reasonable to assume they had a plan in case he attempted escape a second time.

[Syncro]

Goodness, the badmouther has called in the troops, huh?

“Like you, as you, a December 2008 signup.... calling ol-timers DU trolls.”

Are you implying that dirtboy is a Dec. 2008 signup DU troll. I don’t know if you checked his personal page, but I did, and he signed up in Sept. 1998. Checking facts I consider more important than checking spelling, and I too am annoyed by knee jerk reactions from both the left and the right.

A lot of "old timers" around here are/were trolls.

Unlike the badmouther you are defending, most of them have been banned.

But your quote, which I repeated above was dirtboy badmouthing (knee jerk reaction right there) a poster who posted something he couldn't counter, so he made a PERSONAL ATTACK upon that poster because that poster is a December 2008 signup.

So your castigation of me for doing that is way off, because it was your friend that posted that quote.

It looks like he has got you hooked on his sign-on date as a badge of honor.

Well, he dishonors "old timers" IMO with his attacks and put downs of newer posters (just because of their sign-on date), most of which are much better informed posters than he is.

The spelling thing was to try to get him to post from his head instead of his emotions so he would be more reasonable and not so hotheaded.

What do you call his many DUmmie comments, and his posting quotes and then lies about what he posted?

Kinda knee jerk, don't you think?

I'll look for your post calling him on that.

Oh, and I am not putting his name in the "to" box, because he didn't bother doing it when he talked about me.

Sorry you got hooked in to defending an obnoxious "old timer" poster, but he proves that having an early sign-on date doesn't make all your posts wonderful.

So I think your problem is with dirtboy, not me.

And of course you looked up his sign on date, that's what he wanted you to do so you would know he is better than you, a useless "nube" to him

[Katarina]

Hi and thank you so much for the information.

[tc45a]

They waited the correct amount of time it appears in this case.

[Syncro]

The military of the US is amazing with regards to the sheer skill and discipline they display.

Yes, they are the best in the world.

And oh yea, Obama has already taken credit if what I saw earlier is true.

And the MSN, an arm of the DNC, will get the leg tingles in their reporting.

Thanks for your post.

[Syncro]

They waited the correct amount of time it appears in this case.

Obama wouldn't let the go for it the first time when the Captain went into the water.

Lucklily they got a second chance.

[lilycicero]

Can you ping me if there is a link posted w/Joe The Sailor’s “description” of what should have or should happen.

[TomGuy]

I can’t help but get the impression that the MSM is already being told to push the “obama did it” stories.

Of course.

Obama approved it ---- twice.

That story came out earlier today.

[Wissa]

But, I do hope we can keep some perspective - accusing eleven year vets of being DU trolls is too ludicrous for words.

I guess that suggesting that Obama might possibly not be as stupid as you feared is reason enough to get the mob screaming "Burn him! Burn the witch!" :)

[don-o]

The intense unsubstantiated Obama bashing is just such a case. It is foolish and unjustified based on the available info.

Good on ya bert. The more info that I am hearing, the more it sounds like this op was very well conceived and well executed. I doubt if Obama had a thing to do with any of it beyond saying "Go!"

Yet some people have to bitch. That's fine, I guess. I prefer rationality myself.

[jhw61]

just hearing on Fox that the SEAL teams were dropped by parachute in the stealth (my adverb) of night...yessssss. Let’s keep our miltary strong Barak Hussein Obama because they keep you and your family safe too.

I hope the media stays focused on the rescue of all hostages. Message should be to the U.N....time for you to earn your keep! Get er done!

[AH_LiveRight]

Only the skill of Bush’s military saved the day.

Wow. It seems like Bush had to be alive and in power for a loooong time.
