No worries. This thread is very enlightening. Even a few other “old-timers” have been misdirected into attacking you, and some of the other folks here that take a wait and see approach. I do not remember, but think it was TA3 that posted the Presidential comment. It praised the military, the Captain, and everyone else that had made this a success. Conservative opinion should reward good behavior IMHO. Somehow this thread devolved into you getting bashed for an opinion (that is shared by me). I don't get it. Perhaps some others have a different agenda, like making respected conservatives look like knee jerk dolts.

Regardless of how this ended and Obama’s role, he said nothing until today, that is wrong. Obama gave orders for use of force only if captain's life in danger. So he would have allowed the great captain to be held hostage for 444 days as long as he was fed well?...You will not see me praising him for this, no matter what his official statement today said.
