Captain jumps overboard, SEALs shoot pirates, official says (breaking

DIGG ^

[Lorianne]

The American captain of a cargo ship held hostage by pirates jumped overboard from the lifeboat where he was being held, and U.S. Navy SEALs shot and killed three of his four captors, according to a senior U.S. official with knowledge of the situation.

Hell yes! They probably killed one of 0’s cousins or something.

No, actually, sadly, these comments are called for.

There are those in Congress who want to bring W. up on “war crimes” charges.

There are those, in the Obama administration, and in Congress, who wish to close GITMO and release at least some of the prisoners on US soil!

There are many liberals who do not support the use of force, ever.

There are many liberals who think that the war on terrorism should be a legal action, not a military action.

Doesn’t arresting him violate the rules of Parlay?? Well they are more guidelines that rules I always say.

[ken21]

cool!

[mountn man]

Well, 3 out of 4 ain’t bad.

Better luck next time.

Unfortunately, I think there will be PLENTY of next times.

No on the positive side, if we get good at this, and can get a 4-0 exchange ratio, it won't be long till there won't be any more mooselimb pirates.

[Logic n' Reason]

WH, loosely quoting a TOTUS in mourning, says of the incident, ". . . the captain will be put in prison for abandoning the lifeboat as he was the ranking person on board and perforce the captain. The SEALS will be courtmarshalled and drummed out of the corps as they a) spent more than the recommended time in the water and b) didn't get a direct order to attack the alleged "pirates" who were unarmed (or at least didn't have their weapons in their hands) at the time of the incident and therefore could not defend themselves. Further, TOTUS stated through his tears that the US would be giving full military honors to the murdered "pirates", military burial with full military honors in Arlington National Cemetery, and full reparations will be paid to the families of the "pirates" ($100,000,000 each family) with full US citizenship and all the free benefits accruing thereto..."

Such is the US under obammer.

You might stay around here newbie before you go shooting your pie hole off and telling people whatr to do!

[Trueblackman]

Well they died snipper tired

[Kansas58]

Remember when Johnny Dep said “Pirate” when asked about a promise? (Playing pirate Will Sparrow?)

Well, we should say the same to this pirate!

Or better yet, “SEALS”!!

[Petronski]

Seems to me you don’t understand Trueblackman’s post, n00b.

[Trueblackman]

Remember in the middle of the ocean, no one can hear you scream!

"Comments like this make Freerepublic look like a bunch of nutcases. Get real."

Things were fine until newby jerks like you show up and demonstrate genetic ignorance.

[Jagdgewehr]

Get real.

While one might find an occasional post on Free Republic that is beyond the pale, the comments you are responding to are probably closer to reality than you would care to accept. We are living in strange times. Too often, what is good is being labeled evil and what is evil is being labeled good.

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.

shhhhhh ... Murtha might hear you.

[redheadtoo]

It means that a diplomatic 'solution' would be viewed as a defeat.

[omega4179]

CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow.

[Trueblackman]

The pirates met our best diplomats in the form of our Navy Seals with guns.

[Laverne]

Obama taking credit, he ordered the op, per FNC and Julie (I love Obama) banderis.

[Oldpuppymax]

The ACLU will now charge the captain with conspiracy...conspiring with the Navy seals, leading to the death of the poor, misunderstood pirates.
