As a former Marine, I can tell you that the Commanding Officers in charge of this rescue needed more than they were given and that the success that was achieved was in spite of the great O’zer and at great peril to these fine officiers’ careers. Sure, just sit back and relax and give O’zer the credit. The after op report will certainly remain classified for some time.

But Obama failed this test and is taking credit for its success. It's just plain dishonest and downright crass!!!

Regardless of what the article said, I remarked to my wife after the rescue, when commiebama started his "me-me-me-me" dance that it took him four days to decide to rescue the Captian?

Reagan or Bush would have had him out by the 2nd day,and then filled the whole area with Navy ships, fighter planes, and helicopters to stop this pirate crap.

King Obama is a foolish inexperienced nitwit that now knows he is a failure and will not concede that he is not qualified to be CIC. He only ran for President for the quirks and his with his ego he thought he could rule the World. The man is the worst thing that could have happened to America. And his cult followers are ignorant freeloaders.

With all we (and you) have seen thus far from this Administration, I can’t for the life of me see where there would be any justification for a knee jerk reaction that gives credit to Obama while disparaging Joseph Farah.

I am pretty sure he gave you guys your credit. What he did not do was let you guys do your job. I believe that indecisiveness has killed more Americans than actual combat, ( in my opinion ).

Exactly. The SEALS rescued the Captain in spite of their inept, corrupt, present voting CIC.

I suspect that the Commanding Officers had to take the initiative and took matters into their own hands, lest, if left to Obama, we would have a dead Captain. Semper Fi to you downtown.

I want to believe that the Ascended One succeeded in spite of himself, and that he deserves no credit for the rescue. The bottom line is he is the CIC, the military, even under W operated under onerous rules of engagement, and in my opinion part of the delay was due to getting assets in place to carry out the operation. Thus 0 gets the credit and we need to move on to issues and actions in Congress to defeat the Democrats in the upcoming budget process.

Of course he delayed. The only surprise is that he finally did act.

Let’s see, on one side were Americans serving us, on the other side were Muslim terrorists. Is it any wonder BO tried to keep the captain hostage as long as he could? These are his buddies, after all.

Obomba is punishment for our inane acts of electing useful imbecilic pansies to represent us.

Even if the ‘moderate’ (stands for nothing) to leftist loonies in Congress are somehow kicked out after a term or two they get a gigantic pension with benefits for the rest of their useless lives.

Obomba and his little wifey were sucking hundreds of thousands in pay for doing little in Chicago, but now they, like the Clinton Duo, will make millions while the rest of us watch in horror as what we’ve spent lifetimes to save is destroyed by our lousy, pathetic government.
