The SEAL team deployment was an unqualified success. This type of armchair quarterbacking is uncalled for and ridiculous. The end result of whatever actions Obama took (or didnt’ take) was the death of three of the four pirates and the safe recovery of the captain. I, for one, mark this as a win in Obama’s column and have moved on. A crank like Joseph Farah is likely to do the opposite.

Sorry to find your sense of serenity upset, but you do realize that this event revealed that Obama is one of those "that's not it" type managers.

It's pretty clear what happened.

Plus

The Captain did not thank Obama.

He thanked everyone else.

Several on this thread are praising Obama for his handling of this.

I'd rather be in a foxhole with “crank” Farah than Obama.

As a former Marine, I can tell you that the Commanding Officers in charge of this rescue needed more than they were given and that the success that was achieved was in spite of the great O’zer and at great peril to these fine officiers’ careers. Sure, just sit back and relax and give O’zer the credit. The after op report will certainly remain classified for some time.

But Obama failed this test and is taking credit for its success. It's just plain dishonest and downright crass!!!

With all we (and you) have seen thus far from this Administration, I can’t for the life of me see where there would be any justification for a knee jerk reaction that gives credit to Obama while disparaging Joseph Farah.
