When I read he gave the order twice,,, it seemed like an odd thing for the White House to put out there. What are they trying to say?? The military screwed up the first time??? The military didn’t move fast enough??? Obama was ahead of the military???
I’m wondering if the military under orders had to stand back,,(due to the fact the captain jumped out of the boat once already and the military did nothing) and after that,, the military just was ready and acted on there own and Obama then saved face!
I really think none of this is as the media says it is. Last week as I listened to radio news talk about the FBI negotiator, they were going on and on about how difficult hostage negotiations are and the need for experts in such matters. Another diss on the military. This did not go the way Obama had planned me thinks!
Sounds like the One’s orders are only good for so many hours or days and have to be reviewed when the press have their say on the matter.
He is soooooooo contemptible..... puhleeze impeach him!
.....This did not go the way Obama had planned me thinks!....
Interesting thoughts. I think that the Brown clown did attempt to bring about a peaceful conclusion using the best resource available in his government. That resource or tool if you will was the hostage negotiators from the FBI. There was a report that the Navy does not have such experts.
The pirates did not respond.The pirates were confident in the precedent that since no pirates had been killed, the danger was small. They had nothing but time and no reason to give in. The ultimate question to be argued is was there imminent danger. The Naval commander determined there was. End of the crisis.

Negotiating obviously doesn’t work. Will the administration ever be questioned on this? Will they ever admit that the only way to deal with thugs is to use force? Obama will take the credit but he definitely wanted to talk to the pirate fellas and have them give up because there’s change in America now and we aren’t mean anymore and blah blah blah.
Or he gave it, then took it away and gave it again? good grief;/
