I wish this could have been a happy ending.
Unfortunately, one of the pirates lived.

Now the questions are will the NAVY SEALS be charged with 3 counts of murder and will the Captain of the Bainbridge be held for charging them murder, you have to ask in this Era of Obama.

I heard this on the radio. The situation had come to a point where only a military operation would satisfy the American people. Thank God for the safe return of an American citizen.
To: Lorianne
The pirate that lived was on board the Bainbridge negotiating.
Thank God the Captain forced the hand of TOTUS.

No doubt. The liberals are probably already stoking up the fire under the tar, and gathering feathers.
Hats off to the Navy for a job well done. Lesson to pirates: don't screw with the SEALS.

If that is true then I'm sure his last words during the negotiations were "oh shit!" LOL!

Clearly excessive force was used here. I expect THE Reverend Al and the ACLU will be holding a news conference momentarily. (sarc)

No with this brand of Neo-Marxists in charge, I put nothing pass them. You will have Marxist out there who will try to have all involved charged under the I.C.C. or some weird crap like that.
