“Former SEAL: Taking-out pirates holding American captain “not an operational problem”
Fox News Live | 4/12/09

Posted on Sunday, April 12, 2009 9:10:30 AM by pabianice

Fox just interviewed off screen a former SEAL regarding why the Somali pirates are being allowed to take the kidnapped US merchant captain to Somalia. In his words, ‘this is not an operational issue.’ In other words, Obama is ordering that no action be taken until he can get permission from the ‘international community.’ The SEAL noted that they have been training for just this situation since 1981.

Meanwhile, the French rescue their people.”

So we could have saved that Captain, but Barky can’t make up his mind.

Exactly, its hard for us to imagine, just having been through 8 years of how a true potus operates, how this guy thinks.

Unfortunatley everything he does is geared to do one thing, advance his socialistic agenda by keeping his numbers up.Numbers fall congress wont go along with his march to the left,numbers stay up congress lets him destroy the country.

Even a kidnapping by dirtbag terrorists is by the hard left seen solely as a political event designed to either create an advance or decline in his popularity which is all he cares about.

Fortunately he is a democrat and as we have seen in the past they all self-destruct sooner or sooner.

Hopefully he is in the process now.

Sarkozsy gave the word to take the ship when the pirates refused to negotiate and threatened to blow up the boat.

Our TOTUS is not going to give the word to take any action if it means a single terrorist is killed. He would rather allow our Captain to die than disappoint the muslim world.

Of course .. this is what our awesome SEALS do!

I have been speculating such a plan was afoot. I just KNEW our awesome SEALS were at the ready, probably on the ships in the area, just waiting for the opportune moment to stealthily slip into the water and do their magic to overtake the lifeboat and take care of our business.

If what he’s insinuating is that the dastardly and appeasing, lily-livered CIC is disallowing that, against military advice, it would be despicable beyond words.

But why do I expect that of this fake?

And what would it have harmed things if he just acknowledged this hijacking, and publicly said that his and the country’s prayers were with Capt. Phillips and his family for his safe return, and we’re doing everything possible to secure his release.

But no, not a peep.

God bless and protect Capt. Phillips, comfort his family. I fear only His mercy will save this American citizen.

"Barkey can't make up his mind"

What do you expect from someone whose toughest decision prior to January was "paper or plastic"?
