LOL! Best post ever. I was even thinking "Is obama going to pull a Carter on this one?" before your post.

Another one hoping they kill the Captain so you'll have an opportunity to gloat.

The pirates couldn't be that stupid. They're stranded and the only way for them to live is to keep the captain alive.

And for the record I don't blame obama for any of this. All he had to do and all I hope he did was tell somebody to "take care of this".

I bet you're hoping they kill the captain so you can rag on Obama.


This is coming from a man that supports the party that doesn't want a good crisis to go to waste?

I'm hoping we'll actually kill the pirates this time. Gloat? No. I WILL rag on Obama and the rest of our incompetents if these pirates survive.

Our potentate wannabe will ignore the whole situation and have a tea party at the white house. He will then let the Somalis have cake and apologize for the existence of America.

Awesome.


Does your husband beat you?
Wow, you're clever. Too bad the brain cells are wasted on defending repugery.

Then he will paint the white house black, surrender to terror, declare capitalism illegal, and celebrate his bill requiring all Americans to get gay married by roasting an aborted fetus over a fire fueled by confiscated guns and the actual scrap of the bill of rights the second amendment is written on.

Seemingly brainless,

I'm not defending anyone, I'm showing red dawn that it's his party (and yours) that looks at a crisis as a political opportunity.

So what do you suggest he does Fear?

I'd send some SEALs into Somalia, kidnap a bunch of people linked to these pirates, and offer them up for a 20 million dollar randsom. Then we can take 2 million dollars, get the Captain back, and we profit 18 mil! Everyone wins!

Yeah like they value life in Somalia. That'd work in a civilized country but a shithole populated with subhuman animals like the Somalis, well I don't think that's the answer.

What we need to be doing is tracking these fucks down on the high seas and on the Somalian Coast and eradicatie them. The problem is they hold over 200 hostage from numerous hijackings and that would put their lives in even greater peril than it is now.

Gosh, clever again.

You say you're not defending anyone. I guess that makes you just a destroyer of everyone.

There's no end to your awesomeness.

I think you need to review the definition of race.

This is an example of (socio-economic) class ism.

CNN doesn't know how to label the pictures of the ships: they labeled the USS Boxer (Wasp-Class Amphibious Assault Ship) as the USS Halyburton (Oliver Hazard Perry Class Frigate) and v.v.
