What a WONDERFUL Easter gift! Hooray for the Red, White, and Blue!

[hoosiermama]

If he is a minor will he be tried as an adult. It seems it was his choice to stay on the American ship, was he offered some kind of immunity?

[csvset]

Excellent news.

[Talisker]

Now we should destroy the port, kill the elders, issue Letters of Marque, and post a bounty on pirates’ heads.

Bingo.

[FMBass]

Just hearing about this news now.

Way to go soldiers!

[Right Wing Assault]

He’s still trying to find the score of the Pittsburgh Pirates game

Pirates lost, 3-1 in extra innings.

Others say it was 4-0.

If I were in charge, I'd keelhaul his skinny butt all the way there.

I'd hang him and show the video at the next White House press conference, but that's just me.

[Right Wing Assault]

Wonder if the SEALS acted w/o approval from FBI, Energy, Transport, State, EPA, etc?

If these people are giving orders, why don't they do the work, too? I didn't think the FIBbies liked sharing the glory.

[Right Wing Assault]

He was busy having a chef flown in to make the family pizza.

Maybe the chef and obie were working on strategery.

The MSM first reported the story with the talking point that Obama had given a standing order to do whatever was needed to protect the American. Either way, he, like every President, either reaps the benefits or suffers the consequences of how these things turn out.

[cookcounty]

Is it possible that the capsule skin is relatively thin and that infrared body-heat imaging was key in this???

Just asking, I’m still mystified how they could get 3 clear headshots if the pirates were inside the capsule.

[Right Wing Assault]

Now it is being reported that the pirates were killed by snipers.

Where are the guys on here who said, "Have you ever tried to shoot a guy in a rocking boat while you are standing on a rocking boat?"

My answer is, "No."

But if this story is true, these snipers can say, "Yes, at least once if I recall. And I do believe I scored."

[nufsed]

Burn the bodies on board and tow the boat back to shore.

[Karliner]

Gotta say GOD BLESS THE SEALS....two generations of SEALs four generations of spec ops...I wonder where my 2nd cousin is?

[SeminoleSoldier]

Yeah!!! Nod to Obama for giving our guys to green light. Nobody can say we didn’t give ‘em a chance either (not that they deserved one anyways)

[OrangeDaisy]

Any major school with a pirate mascot?

East Carolina University

[Toidylop]

"Our SEALS are the baddest MOFO's on the planet. Our Navy aviators are the best on the planet. This is a GREAT DAY, shipmate."

I second that Sir.

[Right Wing Assault]

taking the three pirates out is going to escalate violence by the pirates now

Hey, I bet that explains crime and violence in the US! It's the fault of the police because they arrest the bad guys! Take away their guns, baton, and tasers.

[MrPiper]

"The weight of American public opinion will not allow that," said a diplomatic source in Nairobi.

Your damned skippy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DO NOT TREAD ON ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GO NAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Don't mess with the the big boys!!!!

[SeminoleSoldier]

Yep. We bagged a bunch today and the French got some too. Didn’t an Aussie chopper take out a boat yesterday too? Making the pirates insurance go up lol.
