These SEALS are terrorists, donchaknow....
I posted this on Monday raising the same points about the timeline of the situation, especially why the navy stood by after the captain jumped out of the boat in an attempt to escape. It appears my suspicions are being proven correct.
..........................................................
The White House is lying about something here. The article I copy above says he granted the authorization on Friday night at 8pm Wash DC time. The article belwo from the NY Times on April 12 states he was ASKED by the military TWICE and FINALLY granted authorization Saturday morning. The KEY here is the CAPTAIN jumped out of the boat on FRIDAY night at about MIDNIGHT local (Somali time). This is 5 PM WASH DC time or THREE hours before he supposedly granted authroization according to US NEWS, and more than 12 hours before he did according to the NY TIMES.
In either case it appears he had to be TALKED inot it by the military, and in the meantime the captain was in danger while Barry diddled around.
The Defense Department twice sought Mr. Obamas permission to use force to rescue Captain Phillips, most recently on Friday night, senior defense officials said. On Saturday morning, the president agreed, they said, if it appeared that the captains life was in imminent danger.

We know the mantra of this affirmative action fraud-in-chief’s administration: never let a crisis go to waste. Currentl;y, this same POIE (piece of Islamic excrement) is leaking the details of our CIA operations against terrorists, as a way to divert attention from the truth of this feckless almost blackman’s anti-American reality. BUT the American people appear to want to be lied to, to be deceived daily, and to have their constitutional contract voided for the bread and circuses promises of a lying Democrat at the helm. May God have mercy upon US.
gutless wonder of the bambi whitehouse
We don’t know if this is true or not, or whether it is from a reliable source or not, and I suppose we never will.
But it’s exactly the way I was figuring it happened.
I’ve repeatedly pointed out that the brave captain dove into the water because he figured the Bainbridge would cover him and rescue him—and they didn’t. Why? The only possible reason I can think of was that Barry gave explicit orders not to fire.
All the rest of it sounds probable too.
I also said that the captain probably finally said to himself, “The hell with it. This can’t go on.” Then he said, “Look, they’re pointing a weapon at him. He’s in eminent danger. OK, you have permission, fire when ready!”
The only good thing about it is that the officer who gave the order will not be punished, because Obama needs to take credit.
BTTT
Obama and his no-talent crew have managed to give none of us any reason to come to their defense about anything.
Very stupid of them, but that's what you get when the Democrats win. Oh, that, stupidity, and a couple of genocides. Democrats are really into genocide so it's just a matter of weeks until Obama has our military stand aside while tens of thousands of innocent people are murdered somewhere.
Poor Capt. Phillips and thank God for the Navy and SEALS that he is alive. His merchant crew are also good and brave men.
The capt jumped in a dark ocean and the SEALS should have been able to end it right there as mentioned in the story.
We have to find a top attorney who is EX-JAG officer. He needs to take a case to SCOTUS with thousands of active military plaintiffs as John & Jane Doe.
This Napolotano & HHS calling veterans possible right wing terrorists is sickening. The attorney needs to bring the case from the military plaintiffs demanding a HI BC or natural born citizen status. Hussein needs to turnover a HI BC and NBC or step down.
SCOTUS needs to decide if they will tell our military that they have NO standing in defending The Constitution and why they should die to protect The Constitution when SCOTUS is too chicken to demand proof.
BTTTTTT
It appears that I was right.
Not very comforting though, since we have to worry about the next crisis with our wimp in chief.
Many of the pirates along the east coast of Somalia belong to the Luo Tribe. The Luo tribe is headed by Odinga Obama, Bambi’s cousin!
Bad enough the guy was captured, but when he escaped and was not immediately rescued, those thugs probably really made life hell for him. I think we were all wondering why no attempt at rescue was made at that point.
Not in public, at least. Anyone think this officer will make Captain? Not me!
To BHO, SEALS = Future Rightwing Extremists.
So this President gives equal weight to the lives of pirates and the lives of any US citizen hostage(s) ?
Pathetic.
don’t you conspiracy theorists know this site is monitored by the DHS, ACORN and the really scary Census Bureau??
//sarc
Exactly as I figured as well! By the way, when someone has machine guns pointed at you and is threatening to kill you, are you not in imminent danger?? I truly wondered about this. I guess since those pirates are always pictured w/big smiles on their faces, they’re friendly nice pirates, not mean evil ones??
