U.S. ship captain held by pirates off Somalia, has been freed, senior U.S. official says. Three of four pirates killed.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Actually, the Captain alive is more than 99% good. The other less than 1% is four dead pirates. One is alive. Hope he likes “watersports”. Maybe they can bring back Dick Cheney as a senior adviser.

[tiredoflaundry]

Because, *O* promised his lawyers at least one, so his lawyers can defend him in court. Ya know, show how badly we treat pirates, possibly charge the braves rescuers with torture etc...

And now it’s time to level their lair of Eyl, Somalia.

There also are apparently some YouTube vids of the newly enriched pirate town of Eyl, I haven’t see them but was informed they’re out there.

My bets was a US Navy Seal Team swimming up to the boat and killing the pirates with supressed weapons at night.

Freed? WTH? He was RESCUED!!!

Wow, so did Hussein negotiate with ‘em? LOL.

[savedbygrace]

I’m probably wrong, but when we heard about the Navy vessel coming close to the ‘lifeboat’ then roaring off, the thought that came to me wsx that the SEALs were hanging on to the side and dropped off unseen near the pirate boat, then attacked a little later.

Can hardly wait for the real story to come out.

Why were’nt the “pirates” ALL killed?

Because then there would be nobody left for Obama to pardon and set free on American Soil.

[Mike Darancette]

It will be a long tine until we know what happened - that is a good thing. Keep the pirates guessing!

Iraq was a disaster for terrorists.

We still have terrorists.

Afghanistan was a disaster for terrorists.

We still have terrorists.

(Although they have not attacked on US soil since 9-11)

This took too long.

If we now take out the ports and the pirate bases and the other pirate boats I will be impressed.

Pizza for everybody! Huzzah!

[junta]

Hell half his advisers wanted him to surrender our coutnry to the pirates. Bill Ayers is sad.

[jveritas]

What difference does it make if it took one day or five?

The difference is that our more dangerous enemies have been greatly emboldened by us taking so much time to resolve this problem that could have been solved in the first few hours if not for Obama the defeatist doing nothing about it. They know that Obama is the weakest President ever and they are going to cause us a lot of harm because of this.

[lonevoice]

That's regarding the original ship hijacking and hostage taking. Has nothing to do with the rescue of Captain Phillips on the lifeboat a few hours ago. No details forthcoming yet on how this rescue was achieved.

Navy must have been released to do what the Navy does.

[Kansas58]

Obama and Axelrod read the polls.

What happens when we need a FAST decision, before the polling can take place?

[Mr. Mojo]

I see. Thanks.
