The president praised Phillips for his bravery, courage and selfless concern for his crew.

That’s what you get when everyone is rushing for headlines... LOL...
It means, basically, that the capturing of the pirate(s) was shown to be a model of heroism displayed by our military forces.
[but that’s too many words to put in a short title... LOL...]
Will our gutless wonder president take action against these pirates? Of course not
The world will now condemn us, the brutal murderers of the innocent. Obama was so somber in his “praise” because now he will have to apologize and probably make another of his fancy bows...
You said — Yep, he was silent on this issue for days. Now that it was resolved favorably, he’s going to get out there and tell us all about it????????
—
Actually that’s one of the smartest things he could have done.... just shut up and let the military do its thing... LOL..
You said — Just heard OBAMA WILL NOW TAKE THE CREDIT!!
—
That’s because he just finished this course...

But I thought the Øbamanation said it was racist... to disagree with, much less kick the ass of any black who you think is wrong?
“Is Obama privately mad that we killed 3 of the 4 pirates?”
My guess is yes, he was busy drafting another letter to the UN.
They should go in and clean out that pirates den!!
I’m surprised the headline wasn’t written like this:
Obama rescued captain; showed model heroism.
“The president says the United States needs help from other countries to deal with the threat of piracy and to hold pirates accountable.”
Well, he is correct in that piracy on the high sea IS a chronic problem of international importance, that has been ‘swept under the rug’ for various reasons including, but not limited to, how to relegate what country or countries ‘get involved’ when pirates attack in international waters?

Sorry but President Bush I began cutting the military due to the cold war ending...see below. Of course I was in the military under Bush and we had personnel cuts, defense cuts, base closures etc.
Bush, an experienced diplomat who knew every major figure in the world, built a strong foreign policy team around trusted long-times associates James Baker as Secretary of State, and Brent Scowcroft as National Security Advisor, along with Colin Powell as chairman of the Joint Chiefs and Dick Cheney as Secretary of Defense.[1] The Berlin Wall fell in November, 1989, and in a matter of days all the Soviet satellites had revolted and proclaimed solidarity with the West. West Germany absorbed East Germany, and sent large sums to Moscow to stabilize Mikhail Gorbachev’s regime. Bush gave moral support (but no money) to prop up Gorbachev’s faltering regime, but it too fell in 1991 as Communism disappeared in Russia and the Cold War ended in American victory. There were no parades or ceremonies as Bush downplayed the event, fearing a Russian reaction. Soviet sponsored insurrections in the Third World all dried up as well. Welcoming the collapse of the entire Soviet bloc, Bush sharply cut the military budget, while continuing long-range research into Star Wars.
The NPR reporter is trying to make the case for the Navy’s culpability in killing the three Somiali pirates . . . a-freaking-mazin’.
