Obama kicks pirate "booty"
In a daring move, President Barak Obama personally led a team of Navy SEALS (or some kind of navy peeps) in an operation to retrieve a hostage.
This is the first attempted hostage resucue by a Democrat President since 1980. In fact, this comes almost 27 years to the day after the last attempt by Jimmy Carter that ended miserably in the Iranian desert. That abortive rescue was doomed by the commanders in DC overlooking the need for dust filters on the helicopter intakes. Who would have thought a jet intake would need a dust filter in the middle of the Iranian desert?
Not to be deterred by his predecessor's errors, Obama not only equipped the SEALS with dust filters, but in compliance with OSHA regulations he ordered all Naval combatants to don "water wings" for the duration of the operation. This order included all Navy personnel including the Naval recruiters in Amarillo.

Re: Obama kicks pirate "booty"
Well, let's give him credit for not allowing this nonsense to linger on and on. Maybe we can hire out the US Navy to rescue the hostages on the other sixteen ships that the pirates hold currently, help pay the national debt.
Now let's send special forces in and clean out the pirate leaders in the multi-million dollar homes among mud huts, they shouldn't be hard to find. There is no government, so let's solve the problem.

Bill Clinton and Wesley Clark did just that. It worked so well that they made a movie out of it called "Blackhawk Down."
We need armor and air support to get these thugs.

I think we have a score to settle over there, so yes send in the armor and the smart bombs.

Re: Obama kicks pirate "booty"
The real hero's should get the credit. The Navy team that did the rescue and of course the captain that allowed himself to be taken instead of his crew. I am pleasantly happy that Obama authorized it

Re: Obama kicks pirate "booty"
These ships should try to travel in packs and then it would be easier for a Frigate or something to protect them. Even the Merchant Marines are armed and could shadow the group.

Re: Obama kicks pirate "booty"
Funny thread. However I am pleased that a Democrat President was able to break through the Democrat party's normal yellow streak and authorize force to be used.
I think Obama knew that if he allowed the pirates to get this guy to shore in Somalia where we could not get to him when two or more US Navy ships had been meters away that would have been disasterous PR and once again painted the Dems as wimps unwilling to use military force for America.
Regardless of the motivation I reluctantly salue the Apologist In Chief for the force authorization.
Now if he just would stop making speeches around the world claiming that Islam has been a big part in making America what it is today.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

I don't know why, but I see the big O's Chief of Staff in on this one as well. He serves as a volunteer in the Israeli Defense Forces as a "truck mechanic" during national emergencies. Yeah, right. I just don't can't picture "Rahmbo" as a grease monkey when bullets are flying.
He's the only reason I didn't pack it all in after the last election.
