Obama is reluctant to use force.
That is the message that came through.

Also, if Obama does not launch some retaliation, NOW, this will all happen again and again.

Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!
Amen sweet one! Thank you!!!

Phillips is a hero too - 2nd attempt to flee his hostages taken advantage of and aided by U.S. military!

[romanesq]

Thank you Lord for aiding this brave man.
He is Risen!

I am surprised that some FReepers are not seeing the big picture here and they are just focused on 4 ragtag pirates trapped in a tiny boat in the middle of the Indian Ocean surrounded by the mightiest Navy in history and yet it took 5 days to resolve this problem rather than being solved in the first few hours of the hostage taking and all this because Obama the defeatist did not order any immediate action.

OK, what would you have done? Be as specific as you wish.

Of course we’ll hear what happened. Obama will see to it.

MSNBC say pentagon is scrambling to get out a clear story............ Why not just give us the facts?

[Ladycalif]

What an American!

'Why were’nt the “pirates” ALL killed?'

Because it's easier to beat intel out of a live body than a dead one. The rest are shark chum.

Broad daylight.

>>Starring Obama.

The backstory is going to be about his brilliant leadership. Count on it.

Sadly, you probably right. I bet the DUmp is already giving him credit even though he has done nothing.

Cnn Reporting that 1 pirate was on the navy ship negotiating when action was taken to release Captain.

BRASS BALLS AWARD TO CAPTAIN PHILLIPS!

He's got 'em: Hussein' doesn't.

If the Captain had not done it, who knows how long this "we'll send the FBI in" crap would've gone on?!?

[dirtboy]

I'm just a tiny bit disappointed.

I think three killed, one captured is perfect. Now they can interrogate the captive for more info for a strike on his safe haven.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Fox just reported Captain Phillips may have done this - by jumping out of the boat again.

That guy’s amazing.

Or by telling them all of the 72 virgins look like Michell Obama

Please read my post # 131. I am surprised by the short slightness of some freepers.
