Cat fight!
Popcorn anyone?
WTF did Obama have to do with it?
I wonder if our new messiah even knew what action was taking place. I wouldn't be too swift to give him credit. He was proabably still so busy giving out other peoples money and firing private industry execs that he won't even have time to take credit till mid week.
Once he figures who it was that took a tough stand on Americas behalf, he'll put a stop too it!
Consider yourself flamed!
But seriously it only took 5 days, mass out cry, and getting shot at by pirates.
What should have happened is we should have had destroyers over there on patrol taking out the pirates a couple years ago. Last I heard the pirates made something like 80 million last year.
Joke!
But a big salute to the SEAL snipers. Three shots. Three kills.
Anybody else think that we should hire blackwater to go in and wipe out these somali pirates

Naw...not really. After all you're in Albany. I was born in Lebanon...probably long before your life. I have senority.Consider yourself flamed!
Well the Captain will probably not disagree if he doesn't want to get audited...

Has anyone else seen the show on the history ch or discovery about the ex-spec ops guys fighting these pirates with no weapons? Their crazy.
NO WEAPONS?Remind me again the first rule of going to a gunfight... bring a gun, eh!
They have weapons.Just not shown on Cam.
White House spin, being headlined in the press, is that President Barack Obama "twice approved force" to rescue Maersk Alabama Captain Richard Phillips from Somali pirates.
What isn't making the headlines is that Obama flailed and dithered for nearly three days before first approving force.
A White House chronology shows that Obama did not authorize the use of force to save the freighter captain until 3:00 AM Mogadishu time on Saturday, a full 48 hours after the Bainbridge reached the ship.

Havent felt proud of anyone in our Government for a while now....
Proud
I'd feel proud if the chosen one would prove he's a citizen. Possibly then I'd consider being proud!
Impress me C in C Show us your papers!
Until I learn more, I will be giving all the credit to the U.S. Navy.
Credit
Here, here.
How about the Naval Commander on the scene.
The guy who can really make THE DECISION
Why did it have to get to this point? I think I have been reading about pirate activities for over a year now. Why hasn't the US simply start providing escort services for a convoy of ships on a daily (or every few days) basis?
I'm guessing you don't realize how MANY ships there are out there. The US can't protect them all, nor should we.
