I know you’re all wondering what Obama’s role in all this was. Here’s the anwer:
“The negotiations between the elders and American officials have broken down. The reason is American officials wanted to arrest the pirates in Puntland and elders refused the arrest of the pirates,” said the commissioner...
In other words, the only reason why we have a favorable outcome is that the Somalis would not let Obama have his way.
There have been many reports sourcing “American officials”, and of course no mention of whom these “American officials” are.
There was mention the other day - don’t know if it was a joke or was true - that the FBI had been sent to the local area to conduct hostage negotiations (that Zer0 would deliberately create such a fractious command and control environment on the ground in Somalia is plausible and not at all surprising).
Still, I would like to know who these “American officials” are.
The flip side is that the reason there was a military outcome is because Obama et al would not allow the elders to have their way.
We have considerable fog obscuring the scene but it appears reaction to serendipitous events precipitated the favorable result.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only who saw it that way. Sheesh.

EXACTLY
the idiot never came out once to denounce the terrorists and I bet when he heard about the shooting obama put his head in his hands and thought crap, I wanted to talk to them
To hear the MSM tell it, you'd believe Obama was one of the seals pulling the trigger as he's getting just as much credit. Listening in the background to someone on Morning Joe explain that because of Obama's popularity at home and abroad and his approach to be bold, strong and steadfast is what brought this to a successful conclusion. We're doomed as the public will continue to buy into this crap and hail him the second coming.
“broken down. The reason is American officials wanted to arrest the pirates”
Gorelick/Clinton STILL in effect....pretending this is a criminal rather than terrorist matter.
