The pirates met our best diplomats in the form of our Navy Seals with guns.
Obama taking credit, he ordered the op, per FNC and Julie (I love Obama) banderis.
Well, from what I see... The military (or navy as you might prefer) were negligent in their non-action during the captains first escape attempt (yes, successful in the second effort). So they made it up with his second attempt. Thank goodness they finally were on the ball. As to the rest, political or otherwise, those that had nothing to do with it will try to take credit for the others action. Politics is no different than yesterday...
I still wonder why they were asleep during the first attempt...and do question their ability (unless they were so ordered by Obama - then I would understand - and weep)...
A "diplomatic solution" would've been a defeat because it wouldn't have worked.
This was the proper way to handle it from the start.
