Admit it guys, Obama handled the Samali pirates brilliantly. That's why this thread has completely gone off topic. You right wing loons are weak and pathetic.

Pirate Walks Into A Bar

So this pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel in his pants. Confused, the bartender asks “Hey bud, why do you have a steering wheel in your pants?”
“I don’t know” the pirate says, “but it’s driving me nuts!”

PS - why do they even call them pirates? You know, those Somali boat hijackers? They don’t have wooden legs, they don’t captain huge sailboats or have parrots on their shoulders. They’re skinny little men with AK-47’s.


out. :blsmoke:

Based on the chatter I'm seeing, I would not classify his actions as brilliant. According to what is gradually being disclosed, he got lucky. He sought a peaceful solution, but relented when Naval commanders insisted they be given the authority to act if the situation called for it. The pirates fucked up and gave the Navy a window of opportunity. I give Obama credit, but only because he is the man in charge.

Philips’ first leap into the warm, dark water of the Indian Ocean hadn’t worked out as well. With the Bainbridge in range and a rescue by his country’s Navy possible, Philips threw himself off of his lifeboat prison, enabling Navy shooters onboard the destroyer a clear shot at his captors — and none was taken.

The guidance from National Command Authority — the president of the United States, Barack Obama — had been clear: a peaceful solution was the only acceptable outcome to this standoff unless the hostage’s life was in clear, extreme danger.

The next day, a small Navy boat approaching the floating raft was fired on by the Somali pirates — and again no fire was returned and no pirates killed. This was again due to the cautious stance assumed by Navy personnel thanks to the combination of a lack of clear guidance from Washington and a mandate from the commander in chief’s staff not to act until Obama, a man with no background of dealing with such issues and no track record of decisiveness, decided that any outcome other than a “peaceful solution” would be acceptable.

After taking fire from the Somali kidnappers again Saturday night, the on scene commander decided he’d had enough.

Keeping his authority to act in the case of a clear and present danger to the hostage’s life and having heard nothing from Washington since yet another request to mount a rescue operation had been denied the day before, the Navy officer — unnamed in all media reports to date — decided the AK47 one captor had leveled at Philips’ back was a threat to the hostage’s life and ordered the NSWC team to take their shots.

Three rounds downrange later, all three brigands became enemy KIA and Philips was safe.

There is upside, downside, and spinside to the series of events over the last week that culminated in yesterday’s dramatic rescue of an American hostage.

Almost immediately following word of the rescue, the Obama administration and its supporters claimed victory against pirates in the Indian Ocean and declared that the dramatic end to the standoff put paid to questions of the inexperienced president’s toughness and decisiveness.

Despite the Obama administration’s (and its sycophants’) attempt to spin yesterday’s success as a result of bold, decisive leadership by the inexperienced president, the reality is nothing of the sort.

What should have been a standoff lasting only hours — as long as it took the USS Bainbridge and its team of NSWC operators to steam to the location — became an embarrassing four day and counting standoff between a ragtag handful of criminals with rifles and a U.S. Navy warship.
