This is from Sunday morning...press releases are now getting interesting ....see this one....FR Thread:

Official: Captain was in 'imminent danger' (Defense depart had to ask 0bama twice)

and

Obama Did Not Order the Kill That Freed Capt. Phillips

[laweeks]

I dunno’ . . . I thought the people on the scene saw an opening and shot the bastard . . . didn’t know he waited for the Most Merciful and All-Knowing to pull the trigger. It’s amazing how they’re ginning up some kind of macho and concerned president when the ba$tard wouldn’t even field an answer the other day . . . and the Sec of State cackled . . . what am I missing . . . American pulls a trigger, shoots the pirate, kills him, and captain is freed. Where does Dumbama fit into this picture?

...4 pirates in the lifeboat said their not afraid...

Get an editor, Scott.

[partyright]

Nice article but 0 doesn’t care about American hostages as much as he cares about those !slamic pirates. That’s the real problem.

In this time of economic difficulty in the USA, with the ranks of the unemployed swelling, with cities and towns having money difficulties, and even the Federal government having cash problems, I behooves and American to do his bit.
Would someone please post the adress where I could send a check to cover the costs of the BULLETS used to eliminate the pirates and free the brave AMERICAN captain. If anyone else would like to chip in, we’ll split the cost. It is the least we should do.

Yesterday the articles starting flowing re: Obama gave them ‘standing orders’ to kill the pirates twice. Right, sure he did. Not one mention of his waiting while worrying about ‘housing’, St. Louis pizza and the dog. As he sat there and let the world (and Islam), see he really did bend the knee and Hillary laughed as she exclaimed how Morocco helped us (um no). But Obama’s such a hero... this was a test on the scale of 9/11 (don’t get me started on the press taking the ruffles off his pink panties).

Someone must have noticed the blog reports re: presser on how it really went down (from Blackfive, others),since then the MSM started to finesse their previous articles. Also, unknown to them, African papers wrote how revenge was coming (sure you’ll see it here, let’s see if it gets much play in the MSM, if it does they’re using it to distract re: absence of previous ‘sea terrorists’ that somehow go poof after given to Odinga and of course now they want money for a huge force to fight them, cough).

I watched that press conference myself and stopped it in area's that I wanted to make sure I heard it correctly..I watched live so in the mean time I am sure the liberal media put their spin on it..While watching I payed real close attention to the question Did Obama give the orders..well it seemed to me that he did not directly give any orders,he said if the life of the CPT was in danger,well stupid his life was in danger the minute your brothers took him..I really believe Obama did not want to get into it with his fellow Muslims..When I saw the person asking questions from AP it hit me, how the spin would be on..as a matter a fact I saw a bunch of lazy reports(if you want to call them reporters)slouching around like they could care less..writing notes at times not all the while..so all put their spin on what was said..

Obama is a dead beat and he should be kept away from life threatening situations..I am so glad that CPT Phillips is still alive..I thank God!

I cannot possibly have read EVERYTHING, of course, but to date I have yet to read one word about the captain THANKING the president. As I recall, Capt. Phillips thanked the Navy and the Seals, his crew, AND the American people. Have I missed something?

My comments on two other threads reveal the truth of the so-called "orders" to kill the terrorists (aka "pirates").

Keep an eye open for a revival of the “politruk” a Russian term used to describe a commissar or political officer, we have seen them in movies most notably The Hunt for Red October.

I think those hostage negotiators had more specific orders than just being what they were described.

Obama is very much aware of where loyalty lies in the military and fears it greatly. He wants complete control of the military before he can break it down into a neutered guard dog.

This affair is one more mile in our journey to Bizarro-World. Even Charles Johnson over at LGF had a post congratulating obama on a job well done, with an admonition to his critics to do the same. The subsequent thread had the usual posters in sycophantic agreement. It appears to be gone now. Surreal. This administration and its incessant propaganda is having an effect on 'our' side.

“After the SEAL’s Success and made me look good, I am going to cut their budget” Obama -CNN NEWS

just now.

[wbill]

From what I've read, Our fearless leader basically said "If you see an opportunity, take it". Makes him look tough, while giving him an out if there's a screwup. About the best that we could expect from a politician.

Should've been done days ago. But, to give credit where credit is due, it was the right decision, IMHO.

American ninjas trump pirates.

Surely the 4 pirates will hand over their hostage any time now, right?

A little dated, don't you think?
