Yes, playing chess with for pirates is not like playing chess with China.

However, in the end there was victory and our man is safe.

Now, what do you think should have been done in the first 24 hours to save the captain?

Obama should have orders the dispatch of Navy Seal team to save the ship in the first few hours. Remember that it took few hours for the pirates to attack the ship and then few hours for the crew to free the ship form the pirates and before the pirates escaped with the brave Captain taken as a hostage. We were following all these events right here on FR and hence it was not going on without anyone knowing about it. That was plenty of time for the Navy Seal team to accomplish their mission if they were order to be disptached to the scene.

Also if it is true that the captain was rescued today when he tried to escaped for the second time then he should have been freed two days ago when he did the same thing but back them either there was no Navy Seal yet dispatched and waiting next to the pirate boats tw and that is because Obama did not order them to do so or there may be some Navy seals next to the boat 2 days ago but they did not get the orders to shoot.
