why didn’t they return fire??? now these pirates know that they can shoot n we won’t return fire...great
Whys was the USS bainbridge sent if all they are going to do is sit on station and negotiate? Obama obviously doesn’t want to harm these Muzzies because he himself is one. Obama is DIGUSTING with a Capital D!
it’s the jimmy carter2 administration...
Seal mission?
You know, these ‘pirates’ are obviously clinging to hope and deriving strength from their proximity to the Somali coast and their ability to communicate with their comrades. The first thing we ought to consider is isolating these people...throw a line on that boat and haul it way the hell out of there into open water, and out of range of their phones/radios. Then the minute they open that door for fresh air, shoot some tear gas or other unbearable mixture in there until they come out. They’re not going to stay in there if they can’t breathe...once we see the captain in the water, blow that thing to kingdom come. Then they can release the captain...or stay in the water.
Are these the moderate pirates we’ve been looking for to negotiate with?
What in the hell is wrong with BHO!!!!
This Shi! should have been over and done with the second the Bainbridge arrived. We are all in big, big trouble!
That's it.
They have to be under orders from Obama to not harm his fellow Muslims.
By the way, his half brother (and Muslim) pictured above was just arrested in the UK.
Yep, make the Navy look bad and inept...
I hope the crew did this under protest...
Way to go Obama...What an asshat...
“The USS Bainbridge was joined on Friday by the USS Halyburton, which has helicopters, and the USS Boxer was expected soon after. The Boxer, the flagship of a multination anti-piracy task force, resembles a small aircraft carrier. It has a crew of more than 1,000, a mobile hospital, missile launchers and about two dozen helicopters and attack planes.”
Also, I’m on a blackberry so I can’t search very well or post a new article, but Twitter breaking news is reporting helicopters flying over pirate lair on shore, residents in panic fearing air strike, etc. Maybe someone can find and post a link.
I can’t find a current pirate thread... Maybe someone can post a LIVE pirate thread so we can post all latest developments in one place. Where is the most-current, most-live thread? Anyone?
If the Stupid B O administration had lef the Navy alone, our sailors would have had Capt Phillips free soon after the USS BAINBRIDGE arrived on scene. They had Seals aboard. The Seals went on with the Cargo Ship. Those Seals could have easily gotten to that Dingy, pushed it to the ship, done some plastic surgery on those pirates (a new smile) and it would have been over. But the A H in the White House JUST HAD to get the State Dept and FBI involved - and let’s not forget calling on the rest of the world for help. If this is an example of how B O is going to protect us all from harm and our enemies, we might as well start digging our own graves because it is clear that he is impotent. If he can’t use a telepromptet to help him, he can’t perform.
Our sailors could have taken care of this, but AGAIN we don’t let them do what they are trained to do.
Pray for our country and for each and every one of us. We really need it.
Huh? What just happen???
Suck it, CNN. We got him!!
uhmm... last I heard 3 Pirates welcomed 3 Sniper bullets into themselves.
