They can't get themselves to do it Huck. They lack the courage to admit their own failings in criticizing him. We knew he'd prove them all wrong. I get a kick out of their loss for words! He did exactly what they accused him of not being able to do and now they are eating their words and throwing hissy fits because he proved them all wrong.

He did exactly what George Bush would have done, yea Obama. He is getting more like Bush in foreign affairs each day if you hadn't noticed. More troops deployed to the war in Afghanistan, etc.

If anybody is getting disappointed with Obama on handling foreign affairs, it's the hard left.

There have been several conservative pundits that applauded Obama for the success of the rescue - and rightly so. Those who refuse to do so are in danger of being tagged with ODS - Obama Derrangement Syndrome.

On the other hand, his supporters who act like taking down 4 teenage jack sparrows shows Obama's national security chops and his ability to go toe to toe w/ Putin, Chavez, Kim Jong mentally Il or Ahmed I'm-a-wack-job from Iran are reaching a bit to far as well.

But in a similar light you did'nt see alot of hard lefties falling over themselves to give props to Bush for doing something they would aprove of - say his African AIDS initiative.

You reap what you sow......

Interesting point. Look at the flak Bono took for daring to praise Bush on that very issue. You'd think he had advocated puppy mutilation.

On a ABC News brief it was said that the pirates have said that they have already attacked another American ship and that they said the are now going to start attacking all American ships in the area.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/Internation...7339855&page=1

"We will seek out the Americans and if we capture them we will slaughter them," said a 25-year-old pirate based in the Somali port of Harardhere who gave only his first name, Ismail.

"We will target their ships because we know their flags. Last night, an American-flagged ship escaped us by a whisker. We have showered them with rocket-propelled grenades," boasted Ismail, who did not take part in the attack.

Here's a story about a future weapon now being sought, a sniper rifle with a range of a mile, possibly a fire-and-forget projectile.

That'll come in handy.

Obama and his leftist maggots did not do a damn thing. It was not Obama that had his hand on the trigger. I am surprized he did not offer them private negotiations to try and win their hearts and minds to one world pacifism.
Here is what your leftist maggots are doing to protect the country thus far. They are exposing the CIA and removing the rights and necessity of protecting Americans from insane barbarians. These are fascist midieval terrorists we are dealing with, not freedom fighters. These leftist miswired fools are the same ones that tried to call Viet Nam a Police Action instead of a war.
These are the same maggots that are now accusing our brave young men and women that soulfully and dutifully fought these 5th century lunatics right wing extremists worthy of putting on a watch list. Along with anyone that does not believe in abortion and believes in the right to bare arms.
These people are fascists and they don't even know it. They believe they are do gooders protecting society from individualists. The hive that cannot think for itself and must move in unison one to the other in order to survive. The hive that must take its life serum from the tit of the worker bee. Parading around Europe apologizing for being an American instead of presenting us for what we are the most generous freedom liberating country since the dawn of man.
What pathetic gibberish I find in these writings. Reading some of these words actually makes me rethink whether or not there actually should be abortion. Since we understand no self respecting conservative would consider abortion, perhaps this is in fact the correct way to proceed.
