Time to look up the word “potential” Mr Hussein.

Our coward in chief is cowering in his white house probably dining on those Pizzas he had brought in from St Louis. What he has done is made Hillary the buffer to his eminence. Nothing like hiding behind a woman skirts, eh?

I figure the outcome will be the shipping company will pay the ransom and we will agree not to blow them out of the water. That way, the Kenyan can say the US did not pay the ransom, no one was hurt and we got our citizen back. In his utopian mind, that will be a plus as he kicks the can down the street on this issue.

For me, this would have been an excellent time to get even for Blackhawk Down...I would have begun a systematic obliteration of their port facilities where the “pirates” are home ported at a minimum. Of course the Kenyan would not want to drop bombs so close to his homeland I guess. Maybe he could appoint his aunt as ambassador to Somolia and get her into a paid job and off the state welfare system.

“”Wonder how much Gergen is paid for his kneepad services.””

Krauthammer said the same thing as Gergen last night on Bret Baier. Some people are just determined to make you disappointed in them. Won’t look at him the same way again.

I don’t believe for a minute that “the” president shouldn’t be hands on in this - except we know he’s in over his head and he and his administration and people who put him there prefer that we not notice.

The OC Register (Santa Ana, CA) is reporting that Marines from Pendleton are going to head there. Does anyone know if they are on float in the area or leaving from CA? I’m sure any Marine anywhere would be only too glad to put an end to this nonsense.

Why haven’t the SEALS gone in? Why didn’t the Captain escape in the dark when he jumped off the boat? I’m not faulting the Captain at all but it just seems preposterous that he jumped overboard in the dark and they threatened to shoot him??? How did they know where he was?

GADS! Can’t we send ZERO over there to demonstrate once and for all his magnificent powers?

Krauthammer loses his mind every now and then. Not the first, nor will it be the last time I’m in disagreement with him.

“”Does anyone know if they are on float in the area or leaving from CA?””

I’ll answer my own question - it’s the USS Boxer (can we dare hope Boxer is aboard?) and it’s expected to join up with the USS Bainbridge this weekend so they are obviously in the area - 1800 Marines on deployment, has been involved in the Iraq war. A San Diego based warship -”basically a helicopter aircraft carrier, is among the most heavily armed ships in the US Navy carrying everything from Harrier attack airplanes to Super Cobra attack helicopters and Sea Knight helicopters.” Sounds good to me.

Sorry this got fragmented but I had to find the article again.

No, not at all. I think Obama is a “light-weight” in comparison to the list we see with Reagan... LOL...

You said — Obama is voting present again. He is saying to H—l with the white hostage captain, Allah Akbar to his muslim brothers.

In this situation, the U.S. should simply get the captain and then *leave* and leave this mess to the rest of the world — who are the ones who perpetuate this insanity. It’s not up to the U.S. to “solve” the other countries’ problems, especially since they always complain about us. Let them do it for themselves.

I say to Obama, get the captain and *leave*.... and don’t come back to that area... LOL...

Well, just get the captain out of the situation and then leave the entire mess to all the other countries that they’ve been “supporting” for several years now... :-)

According to davidrodhamgergull...........Obama doesn’t have to deal with this crisis. That’s what he has a government for.

Man Oh Man....he needs to appoint a Czar to handle these nasty foreign intrusions on our domestic tranquility immediately....

“Big chance that barak is keeping a low profile is because deep down inside somewhere he knows he has no power to make any decisions because he knows he legally should not be a pres_ent. He’ll be passing the buck and ducking constantly thus releasing him from any hell that may arise once he is exposed”

He’s probably being blackmailed about his birth certificate.

Ernie. Don't give these idiots any ideas. They probably have a majority of their staff monitoring sites like this to get the pulse of real patriotic Americans.
