The first time Fub0 impeded his escape because he had ordered the situation to be "resolved peacefully".
The second time the commander of the Bainbridge took matters in his own hands and ordered the snipers into action.
My guess is he feigned the part about "imminent danger" and did what should have been done the first time.
IF he had strictly obeyed the "O"-command, I suspect the captain would still be held hostage.
Fub0 is a national disgrace!
IMPEACH!
I agree totally. (Can you impeach someone who is not legitimately holding office?)
Too many radios, too much so-called command and control. The on scene commander should've had the authority from the start to resolve the situation as he saw fit. In the end, the Captain was rescued in spite of 0bama, not because of him.
