Sorry but I don't have squirrels running around in my bell tower, so explain to me who "TOLD" the President of the United States of America that he had to sign the orders you mention???
Mighty funny that the petulant criticism from many here was that in some way the President would do back flips for the pirates and get the American captain killed.
Now, that they sit around with mush on their faces, it'll be a day or two before they can spin it to try to make the President look like he did not set the tone and direction to HIS military commanders concerning the scope and options of this mission.
if duba was in charge that pos would have been shot swimming after the hostage when he jumped the lifeboat ending it sooner
The reality is, we don't know what dubya would have done.

Third, I stated apparently you just didn't read my post, that we should just say good job and thank God no Americans were hurt. Never said you didn't.
You may not think so, but you would be wrong. I posted this several times on anti-Obama threads about this piracy.
sorry I will not praise Obama for making Phillips wait 5 days to be rescued. They could have done the exact same thing LAST THURSDAY. But know, we have to pander to the world and make it look like we are trying to be diplomatic when in reality YOU CAN'T NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS.
ROFLMAO!!!!!
Your anti-Obama sentiment is hillarious in this instance - absolutely NO ONE other than a certified Neocon Nut Case would agree with you!!!
Obama did EXACTLY the right thing at EXACTLY the right time!!!
Although I am not an Obama fan I gave kudos on another thread about this success. But you Obama partisans need to settle down. There is a saying in football refering to antics after scoring a touchdown, act like you have been in the end zone before.
Have you bothered to look at the number of vile Obama hating threads started on this forum in the past few months???
Why don't you criticise those who are engaging in daily hate-filled diatribes against Obama???
Dubya never did a thing to confront the Somali Pirates - Obama IS - and we have reason to celebrate this!!!
And YES - I've already said numerous times - which you conveniently ignore - that the Navy sharpshooters did a great job!!
sorry, but I'm pretty sure no american hostages had been taken by the pirates under Bush's term. The liberal media would have had a field day with that.
I believe he meant American ships attacked by Somali pirates. However, had Bush attacked Somalia or tried to police the pirates, he probably would have been torn to pieces by his haters, and the world would have further witness to American arrogance in trying to police the world. Put a friendly face on it, however, and opinion seems to be just the opposite...
