The negotiations with the Somalian pirates got to the point where they
were willing to give up the merchant marine hostage for no ransom,
just safe passage back to their families in Somalia. Then Obama orders
them to be murdered. This is worse than torture. The pirates had
harmed no one, they were frightened and just wanted out. For that they
were killed in cold blood. The blood is on Obama's hands.



Where the hell did you get that from? Are you drinkin'?

Someone was "harmed" the instant they came along side the
containership....

IDIOT - PEOPLE HAD GUNS AND PUT THE CREW IN HARM'S WAY!


Larry,
Nomen and Sal are Wilbur. He's just a POS trying to stir things up. I knew
there would be some idiot on the NGs complaining that Obama was too forceful
but this one is just doing it for attention.


What has Obama to do with it. He couldn't possibly have ordered, in
advance, that the Navy not harm the pirates. That is the only thing he
might have done to to influence things. Even an Admiral standing on
the same bridge usually doesn't meddle with a Captain doing his job.
To do so is an admission the wrong man has the job. Not done very
often, even in combat. After all, the Capt knows the men receiving the
orders.
