According to what I heard, the SOPA (senior officer present afloat) give the order. Obozo could not make a decision.

Captain Phillips made his second escape attempt and that precipitated the final (and fatal for the pirate's) solution to the hostage crisis.

Obozo isn't going to do jack. Let's hope the SEALs get on-scene quickly and they take out these scumbags quickly.
