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? And do we really think any pirates will want to attack another American ship after this? This was a fiasco for them.
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.
Well said indeed.
The result was as close to perfection as anyone could have wished for. I don’t understand how anyone can say this took “too long”.

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.

Looks pretty much like we drew a straight flush on this one. Kudos to our servicemen! And, I am very pleasantly surprised that our government allowed our Navy to take out these pirate pukes. I had been saying I thought The Bamster did not have what it took to authorize such an action. He surprised me. Kudos to him, too.
