pirates dead

he also stated the youngest thug was on the Bainbridge itself and COOPERATING somewhat with them, how he **supposedly** got shot/injured is a mystery to me...

Injured in the initial attack on the cargo ship. Gave himself up for medical care.

Another +1 for Obama. Gotta give credit where it is due. He let the boys handle it the way they knew how.
 
Was wondering Friday what was going to happen. Fox news made it sound like the Navy,was holding back. Orders given not to shoot, even while the captain jumped into the water and got away for a short time. Maybe they should use Black Water, they have had over $500 million in contracts since 2001 and have given about $2.4 million to the Republican party for which I am for. It would be alot better to use a privite contractor to just get the job done and not drag the thing out, since it's a privite business. If you go to the BLACKWATER , web site they state they have been used before for escort.
 
they asked the first time and he said yes

they asked again under diff circumstace and he sad yes again....

that is what i read
 
Who gives a $hit what he did or didnt say, obviously he said enough to give the Seals the ok to do their thing, and they did their thing :26::26:
 
Great Job by the Seals, although they train for this type of stuff, Just glad that they were able to put my taxpayer money to good use. Thanks again for what you do.

Just wonder how many wannabes sitting in a bar starting spouting off how they were a Seal back in the day after all this action took place yesterday....

I watched the Seal training show on TLC a couple years back and the cold water exercises would have easily kept me out of the program. Those guys are definitely a special breed of person and they deserve all the honors they receive.

ask Everett, he posts on a navy seal website too...along with his body building website...:rofl:
 
The only reason Black Hawk down was a defeat was Clinton had zero back bone. We lost 18 they lost between 500 and 1000 and we pack our bags and go home. Hell the 18 lost never should have been there if that was our resolve.

I aplaud the Seals and the military in their successful rescue of an American Citizen. Even give a +1 to Obama for giving the OK.
Agreed, I meant that the pirates lost yesterday. Sorry about that.

I'm with you on the cold water training. I can deal with heat,pain and exhaustion but I CAN'T stand the cold!
 
Obama certainly could have caved to the pressures of continuing negotiations with these pirates. They are holding a number of captives that this action could potentially endanger their well-being. On this one, he put our interests first and foremost. Had it been Jimmy Carter, that captain would be tied to a chair in a Mogadishu slum right now.

I also am impressed with how he handled it- no nonsense, no BS, no politicizing. Just dead a$$holes. If he really wants to impress the world, now he needs to destroy every known pirate building, hideout and home.
 
The whole situation played out very well. Go Navy!
:)

Y'all will notice some house-cleaning. Gentlemen, this is about pirates, hostages, the Navy, and a happy ending. Let's stick to that please, no more fighting and name-calling.

Obama signed off to let them do their job. He didn't have to, he could have said wait for my people to review the situation etc. Does he deserve credit, of course. A politician who didn't interfere when he could have. A very rare thing......:leaving:
