Obama Twice Approved Plan to Rescue U.S. Sea Captain
A senior administration official told FOX News that Obama granted the authority on Friday and Saturday to use appropriate force to rescue Capt. Richard Phillips from a lifeboat off the Somali coast.

Scumbag Obama tries to steal credit.
Next he'll be claiming he layed out the plan for the rescue. Obama sickens me to the core.
Congratulations to our Navy!!!
Obama makes me ASHAMED.
Our MILITARY makes me PROUD!

Even though it was only 30 meters, it still had to be tough shooting. Congrats to the good guys! I hope they were using bacon grease as bullet lube.

Tough shot. Our ship and the life boat were both moving with the seas. Nothing short of a miracle, really.
Bravo zulu, Navy!

The captain of the Maersk-Alabama cargo ship held hostage by pirates off the coast of Somalia was in “imminent danger” when U.S. military snipers shot and killed his three pirate captors, a U.S. Navy commander said today. That's the story and they are sticking to it. “Imminent danger” while one of the pirates is away negotiating?
