CNN is repeating over and over.
I don’t generally trust them but this time I think it is true.

Great, but still no good reason to hold off bombing their ports, right? Let’s really PUNISH them..!
They wanted our attention? Fine, they’ve GOT it..!

The Captain correctly weighted the odds of waiting or going overboard again.

This is gonna make one hell of a TV MovieStarring Obama.
The backstory is going to be about his brilliant leadership. Count on it.

Which 'more dangerous enemies' would that be? Al Qaeda terrorists, The Taliban terrorists, the Iranian terrorist regime, the North Korean terrorist regime, Hizballah terrorists, Hamas terrorists, etc... not to mention Russia and China.
I am surprised that some FReepers are not seeing the big picture here and they are just focused on 4 ragtag pirates trapped in a tiny boat in the middle of the Indian Ocean surrounded by the mightiest Navy in history and yet it took 5 days to resolve this problem rather than being solved in the first few hours of the hostage taking and all this because Obama the defeatist did not order any immediate action.

Hopefully Hollywood will make a movie now about the heroic Captain and Navy.....because under Pres Bush they would NEVER make a good movie about our heroes.
To: Kansas58
The real question is, will we waterboard the captured pirate and blow up his compound and get all the names of his associates...

4th Pirate was probably to busy sh***ing his pants to fight back. I guess the “we aren’t afraid of the Americans” statement was a little premature. I am glad Bozo released the military to do its job. I bet the DUmmies are pissed off!
