Time was our ally. When we got enough resources in the area we just flooded the zone (to use a b-ball term) too many things for the pirates to watch.
Also if the reports that the Captain was saved once he jumped into the sea then he should have been the first time two days ago when he did the same but back then either the Seals were not in the waters next to the pirates boat which means they were not deployed i.e. Obama did not deploy them or the Seals were there but were given orders not to interfere at that moment i.e. Obama orders were not to shoot.
Anyway all this does not take away from the big pictures which is our other more dangerous terrorist enemies such Al Qaeda, Taliba, Iran, Korea, Hizballah, Hamas, etc... have been greatly emboldened by the shocking weakness of Obama.
Horse sh**! The Captain jumped overboard, otherwise he would still be floating his butt to Somalia in the life boat! The Bozo didn't release the Navy, the Seals acted after he jumper out of the boat. Time was not our ally because this time tomorrow the pirates would have made landfall.
