Well said indeed.

That was the container ship.

This involves the Captain of the container ship who was being held hostage on a life boat.

Thanks to the American military. Welcome home Capt. Phillips.
Only way to deal with terrorists-pirates.......kill them.

This shouldn’t be over. The Mother Ship(s) and the pirate bases must be destroyed. Let slip the dogs of war on these savages.

Obama came though and you guys all doubted him he is the man

[BykrBayb]

Really? Woo hoo!!!!

[BradyLS]

Awesome news! Time to clean out the den!

Nothing on Google news search either yet...

I think what we may learn in coming days is that commanders in the field may have acted against any executive level orders (if any existed), and took it upon themselves to do the right thing.

The difference is that our more dangerous enemies have been greatly emboldened by us taking so much time to resolve this problem that could have been solved in the first few hours if not for Obama the defeatist doing nothing about it.

Which 'more dangerous enemies' would that be? Are there other pirates out there worse than these?

The pirates tried to take a U.S. ship and hold it for ransom. They failed completely, their hostage has been freed, and three of four are dead. It's hard to see where anyone can see how the pirates won anything out of that.

[Flavius]

Fox is the enemy. CNN is the tool of the Messanic cult. CNN gets the glory.

Now the pirates know that we have a good plan and will be going after our own.

CNN reporting that the 3 pirates were shot by Navy Seals or other military personnel.

[trumandogz]

Perhaps, but the captain is safe, America can rejoice on this Easter Sunday. However, this will give Obama a bump in the polls and that is better than having lost the captain to the pirates.

[HollyB]

Did you drink the kool aid?

[fella]

Fox has nothing!!

It seems that our impartial government gave CNN an exclusive.

[spectre]

Unfortunately, the unsung heroes who rescued these guys will remain anonymous. God Bless Them!
