WHOOOOO HOOOOO!

Can someone tell me what the initial FR on the Fox News Channel means? It’s in the lower right corner of the screen. It couldn’t mean Free Republic, could it? ;)

The only good pirate is a DEAD PIRATE!

[Celtic Conservative]

The perfect idea to use on these Somali brigands: "Q" ships. Heavily armed gunships camoflaged as merchant vessels. Let the pirates get real close, and then, BOOM! , out go the lights.

just an intriguing thought,

This is not going to go down well in the Obama muzzie bow to world.

FoxNews just had a special report from Bob Newman, Special Ops, Ret.

Navy negotiated with pirates, telling them their boat was drifting into unfriendly waters (southern Somalia) and they, themselves, would be captured and their hostage (Capt Philips) might be taken from them. “They bought it,” and allowed their boat to be tied to the US ship.

One pirate wanted to phone home. He was allowed to boat over to the US ship. While onboard, he was eating and waving at his friends holding Capt Philips on the lifeboat — as they were shot.

Newman said the event had 3 shots, 3 hits, 3 dead pirates.

[The made-for-TV movie should be interesting to watch.]

Thanks to our military. No thanks to President Barack.

His staff said last week that he had people to make these decisions, he was busy with housing.

This wasn’t Barack’s call. He’s a puppet ruler.

Look for the movie to come out in record time with Denzel playing the leading role as Obama and Capt. Phillips and the seal team characters having minor supporting appearances.

I learned last night that Captain Phillips is the brother of Jim Phillips, a Mideast expert at the Heritage Foundation. Jim and his family are, of course, overjoyed at the rescue news. Ed Feulner sent this out to THF staff this morning: 

Dear Heritage Colleagues,

            A member of our Board of Trustees called me Saturday and asked why Heritage had been silent on the situation with the Maersk Alabama piracy and the fate of its heroic Captain, Richard Phillips.

            Now that Captain Phillips has been rescued by the U.S. Navy Seals, I can share with you, our Heritage family, the secret:  Captain Phillips is the brother of our own Senior Research Fellow for Middle Eastern Affairs, Jim Phillips. 

            Because of the unpredictability of the situation and the erratic behavior of the pirates, we did not want to say anything that might jeopardize or interfere in any way with the efforts of the U.S. Government to secure the release of Captain Phillips.

            Jim sent me an email last evening from Vermont, where he is staying with his family, in which he says that “this is the best Easter ever for us.”

            He concluded by saying “God bless the Seals!,” to which we all say, welcome home, Captain Phillips! 

Sincerely,

[Ed]

Edwin J. Feulner, Ph.D.

President

What a great chance to plug my favorite conservative website The Heritage Foundation (next to FR of course). Ditto God bless the Seals!

 

[Shellback Chuck]

Bravo Zulu, men!

[mvpel]

The official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

It's a shame we have people in our military and government who think so little of their security clearance and the trust it represents in their honor and discretion, that they would sell it out for a cheap mass-media private thrill.

[Neoliberalnot]

Don’t be taken in by the obama left-wing media shills. This was a fairly minor incident — a group of community pirates, who could have hailed from Chicago, held one man hostage. Don’t get me wrong, I am very glad he survived and the criminals were dealt with, but this is little more than a daily gang incident in many of our biggest cities. Our great leader was once an organizer of these specimens. The media, of which he controls much of the nightly news shills, have blown this way beyond the recognition it deserves in an effort to make BO look presidential— as if it were equivalent to 911. This is all about taking political advantage in order to secure power over the serfs.

[Typical_Whitey]

WOW I waited 24 hours for the outcry and none came...

1. Obama acted unilaterally in making the decision to go to war with Somalia.

2. He directed the military to Murder Somali citizens who were negotiating in good faith for the release of their captive U.S. Merchant Captain.

3. He has made America less safe because now all of the Somali Pirates are saying they will kill Americans on sight.

4. He did not follow the path of the Europeans who have successfully negotiated (Talked to the enemy)the release of other hijacked ships and crews.

5. He has a captured Somali citizen who is being detained against our Constitution and is most likely being severely interrogated because of course Obama doesn’t torture to get information.

I guess the only real question I have is what other then skin color is the difference between Barrack Hussein Obama and George W. Bush on this issue?

[hadit2here]

One of the pirates was wounded and in custody after a swift firefight, the official said.

After a firefight??!!! WTF

This "official" has to either be one of Zero's admin who wouldn't know the difference between a bullet and a casing, or an "official" of Kenya to whom probably firecrackers would be considered a "firefight".

These were 3 clean headshots. 3 dead pirates. There was NO firefight, except possibly in the cocaine fueled dreams of HNIC, who now probably considers himself RamboII.

Again, firefight?! WFT!

[FTL]

OH Yeah -

The Awesome Military That Bush Built Strikes Again!

Bush-Bilt-Strong, Bush-Bilt-Tough.

Still Strong.

Still Dangerous.

Still awesomely violent.

Still removing heads without mercy from terrorist scum 3rd worlders.

Want the job done right? Send in Bush's Terminators.

Hey, thanks for giving our guys the target practice Libtards! Courtesy of your Libtard Messiah!

Obama finally admits that Bush Was Right.

Obama finally admits that violence against Scumbag Terrorist Islamofascists is the path of truth and righteousness and Bush Was Right.

That's right Libtards, admit it. Bush was right. Say it.

Obama finally admits that killing terrorist scumbags around the world without permission from the UN or "reading them their rights" is the only way to go!

Those three Somali Teenagers who are now missing their heads would love to take waterboarding and Gitmo right now as an alternative if they could "hit the reset button"! LOL!

Obama finally admits that our troops need great target practice opportunities like this - on live targets whenever possible.

Obama finally rejects the Liberal Claim that "Terrorism is a Law Enforcement Matter" and sends the military in to liquidate the terrorist scum. Embrace the violence Libtards. Embrace the War On Terror. Say it. War On Terror. American Military Violence wins the day over Libtard "Kum-By-Ya"!

The Left is defeated in their claim that "all you have to do is talk nice to them, give them hugs and money and they will love us!"

The troops walk away with the smug satisfaction of a job well done for "Taking Out The Islamofascist Terrorist Trash" and thanking Bush, Rumsfeld and Cheney for all the great training and preparation that lead up to this successful beheading of the Somali Terrorist Scumbags by America's elite warriors.

Goes around comes around Islamofasict scum.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
