Multiple opportunities to free the captain of the Maersk Alabama from three young pirates were missed, these sources say – all because a Navy SEAL team was not immediately ordered to the scene and then forced to operate under strict, non-lethal rules of engagement.
They say the response duty office at the Pentagon was initially unwilling to grant an order to use lethal force to rescue Phillips. They also report the White House refused to authorize deployment of a Navy SEAL team to the location for 36 hours, despite the recommendation of the on-scene commander.
The White House also turned down two rescue plans offered up by the Seal commander on the scene and the captain of the USS Bainbridge.
The SEAL team operated under rules of engagement that required them to do nothing unless the hostage's life was in "imminent' danger.

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
That's simply because the rest of the world didn't really know that these teenager were just misguided youths who were taking a joy ride in the lifeboat!
However, our all knowing, all seeing president knows the difference. Actually, we probably could have saved ALL the lives if the SEALS would have gone in with their own plan.
Don't misunderstand me, I didn't shed a tear over the news that the snipers hit their mark. However, maybe we can just build a youth home for wayward pirate teens or make them our "friends."

Blame America first, Do less harm to our enemies than we do to fellow citizens.
if someone has to die let it be an American.
this is the mantra of the American Political Left. Obama doing this does not suprise me at all. In fact, when we found out the Captian tried to escape and we didnt fire on the enemy at that point, I knew Obama had issued orders of some kind like this.
We have a panzie president when it comes to outsiders, but dont a one of you think he wouldnt bring down the full and violent force of America's might on an American citizen if he thought that American was even a little bit of a bad guy.
