They are really playing up Obama giving the okay for the strike, probably because they know he is perceived as weak and they need to build him up.

So n ow why is it being reported that P.O. said yes twice to necessary force? Is the White House lying? What the bloody heck is going on here? Why would he have to say yes twice? Fri nite and Sat morning? And of course it’s being reported that Captain Phillips was rescued because of P.O. giving the order for lethal force.

This whole situation is a disgrace. Bowing to these skinnies for the sake of one life = wrong. Providing AQ and others a primer= wrong. Showing the world that the only real change is a return to Carters wuss policy= wrong. This ties into quite well with Hillary’s joke show. Unfortunately on the last point the Right has chosen to focus on the laugh and not the bowing to international desires. The world has rightly assembled force in the area. Chinese,German,Iranian,British, Indian, Russian and US forces are there. Let’s do the international thing right and crush the pirates from sea to shore.

A SEAL team deployed immediately using re breathers could have taken these guys down in a heart beat. They are going to be in real deep if the Captain is taken hostage into the heart of Somalia. Jimmy Carter redux! Prey for the Captain he is on his own with the Manchurian Candidate as Poser and Chief

I still hope that he has not given the no firing order but as you said I don’t think he will do anything after this is over. There sill be no action taken on the Somali pirates.
I will be stopping by your blog more often and I will be adding it to my blogroll.

I’m like you, Obama may have ordered the Navy to show restraint, no way of really telling. I do feel however, that he will be slow and have little stomach for any follow-up action against the Somali Pirates and their operating bases on shore. I’m beginning to see that this man is weak and indecisive, poor qualities in a man and dangerous traits in a leader. Thank for paying me a visit at Totus. Its a new blog, my older one was Penny Patch. I use to visit your site quite often and leave that url I still have it, but using totus for most of my comments now.
