I am not calling you a troll. I concur fully with your stance. I was indicating to the contrairan that they were out of bounds. Not you.

Courtney looks utterly disgusted! These people would be the firs to crap their pants if they came eye-to-eye with a real terrorist.

[STARWISE]

That, I don’t know.

They grabbed Russian tanks and Russia didn’t turn them into minced pirate pie? The Bear backed off from that rabble?

Maybe not I know for a fact that Levin has input here at least on the lounge thread and rumors are that Rush has those that follow us here as well.

I can't tell you the times that Limbaugh has repeated or spun many items mentioned here on FR, happens quite frequently.We don't always get credit but the similarities of what he is saying go well beyond coincidence.

CNN idiot now asking if this will escalate violence and make the “non-violent” pirates angry???

Ghandian pirates. Now I've seen everything.

[Miss Didi]

I was being sarcastic but if you hear this guy he’s about to cry over the pirates.

Video-Just Like Clockwork, Obama Releases Statement On Captain Rescue After All Is Well...

[dirtboy]

Sorry, my apologies.

[eyedigress]

:^) DB is doing ok.

[longtermmemmory]

PER FNC:

OBAMA RELEASES STATEMENT “HE WILL PUT END TO THIS PIRACY CRISIS”

please do not hurt yourselves laughing too hard.

NOW THAT THE CRISIS IS OVER, obama FINALLY releases a statement...

[Syncro]

We look like DU pinheads

Again, accurate for you.

Must you keep using DU tactics and perhaps learn something?

And your whining about someone not pinging you is silly on a thread that you are obviously reading, even thought you said you were going outside.

It's clear you read every post.

[bigheadfred]

Once again, you should ping someone when you are discussing them

Anybody know Obama's screen name?

I got sumpin' to say...

I believe it was tanks from Russia that were already bought by another country, the ship was hijacked, I don’t think Russia did anything about it. One of those black hole events, it sucks itself into nothing, back in december I think.

[Miss Didi]

Julie B. was quite dramatic with her announcement that Barry will end all piracy!

[rodguy911]

Absolutely Star,there is no question that ozero made no comment strictly due to political considerations.

How many times have we noted that his support is a mile long but only an inch deep. The wrong move would have cost him dearly in polling points which is what keeps his candidacy and ability to sway congress alive. Without high numbers the obama adm. is over.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Why he’ll go right over to Somalia and get all the pirates to sing kumbaya.

At presser defense dept said captain's life was in danger, said they had orders to negotiate as long as captain safe, but if deemed captain's life in danger - to act.

Admiral said a gun was pointed at Captain's head and all snipers had clear shots at all 3 pirates and took it. NPR asked if gun had been held to captain's head before, if so, why fire now?

Admiral said captain had been shot at when he jumped in water on first escape attempt. Captain did not jump in water to escape, snipers took out all 3 pirates at once while captain still on boat. 4th pirate was not with captain.

Sort of like “Huey-assisted skywalking” in III Corps in 1979.

Interesting timing, especially since this headline is emerging in the UK....

“Obama half-brother linked to UK sex attack”
