Four pirates in the middle of the ocean threatening to kill an American hostage and Obama has to be asked TWICE if it is OK to shoot to KILL.

I wonder how long Obama had to think it over.....

I’ll speculate that approval to go was given and the opportunity dissolved. Then they went back for a second “go” when conditions became favorable.

I posted this in another thread, but Obambi wants all the credit. He gave the authority for the use of force as recently as an hour after the captain was rescued.

So what is this spin they are saying on TV -— that O gave them permission twice.

Did they HAVE to ask twice — or did he give permission the two times they asked?

I would think that if they were given permission once, then that is all they would need.

I hope O’s handlers keep him the he** off TV and trying to take any credit for this.

I am suprised he didn't walk out on the water and lead them to safety. Maybe parted the water,but it may have been to deep to part.
