Exactly. Contrast this with the fate of the Somali pirates whose lives were ended by SEAL guns. As I recall, President Obama tried to personally take credit for giving that order.

We all know the REAL score.

"Captain Richard Phillips hails US Navy Seals as 'superheroes'"

"Richard Phillips, centre, hugs his children after arriving on a plane in South Burlington, Vermont"

"Captain Richard Phillips praised the US Navy Seals as "superheroes" last night as he returned home to Vermont after five days in the hands of Somali pirates.

"I am not the hero. The military is the hero. Thank them," the former Boston taxi-driver said after hugging his wife and two adult children and his mother-in-law at Burlington airport.

"The first people I want to thank are the [Navy] SEALS. They are the superheroes. They are the titans. They are the impossible people doing an impossible job, and they did the impossible with me.

"They are everyday people we will not recognise, and I will not divulge. But they did an excellent job. They saved me."..."

All in a day's work for these heroes.

There were two callers on Rush today that I heard. The first one was, I think, a SEAL. The 2nd one was associated with retrieving/obtaining security secrets for the military. The 2nd one said that these charges were “payback” for the killing of the pirates when rescuing the captain. He said that this administration is very vindictive and has a long memory.
