I posted on more than one Easter Sunday Pirate thread and Easter Seal thread.
I was roundly rebuked by those who thought Obama deserved some credit.
I thought it sounded like pure BS from the start.
I felt sure that the Navy acted because they were FORCED to act, and that Obama was screwing things up.

It appears that I was right.

Not very comforting though, since we have to worry about the next crisis with our wimp in chief.

Well, I wasn't one who criticized you but did mistakenly (mea culpa) believe that no action would have been taken without the WH's OK. If this report is true, and it makes sense in view of the climate in D.C., then the fact that the on scene commander took the action within the confines of his instructions rates him high marks. Probably something Obama didn't count on.

There's bound to be another situation like this and it will be interesting to see if Obama & Crew hogtie that commander even further.

The next ( fabricated or not Crises ) will not be so clear cut and dry as this one was with 3 Navy Seals sniper fire to those 3 gangsta thug PI RATS .... there won't be a easy fix next time.
The next Crises could very well be North Korea sending nuclear missiles into South Korea and the US military will ask Mr. Obama to take action, and Mr. Obama will take no action while finding a " Peaceful Solution " as millions are dying in South Korea.

It looks like you were right all along.
