Swift rescue operation left three of the Somali captors dead

All in all, I'd say Obama handled this fairly well. Took his time and
dawdled a bit, but in the end he handled it well.




I think he likes to think before he acts (and talks).


Well, I voted against him, but I'll take my hat off to him today.
Well done all...

I'm certain he'll sleep well tonight knowing he has your approval


As my approval is all that matters, I'm sure you are right.

Really?

Didn't realize you could vote against some one.

Thought you could only vote FOR someone.

It's been that way for near on 50 years, Lew.

Whichever one scares ya most, vote for the other guy...

Cap'n is enjoying Navy Chow from the Wardroom and is unharmed.

3 of 4 pirates dead. (They musta saved one to "encourage" him to rat out
the shore facilities pirates are using before they toss him overboard
further out to sea.)

Maersk said "NO!" when I asked 'em if I could have the lifeboat.....dammit.

Also on a happy note, that former child actor that killed Mr and Mrs Hawkes
by tying their feet to an anchor then tossing them overboard was sentenced
to DEATH in California in his attempt to steal their $500K boat. That's on
Google News, too.

For marine interests, it's been a fairly good news day.

There was, of course, another hijacking off Somalia to report....

What's wrong with the voting machines, other then they have been hacked and
report who the zionist elite wants as the winner no matter how you vote, is
they have no square for NONE OF THE ABOVE or VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE that
would, if the hacks fail, require new candidates across the board.....

Americans still run under the foolish perception that their vote actually
gets counted on computerized voting machines ALREADY proven to be easily
hacked:

I was going to send you to itpolicy.princeton.edu to read the documents
from this video, but all references to this finding have mysteriously
disappeared.

That sounds about right, and I'm opposed to the death penalty.

Here's another voting machine company easily hacked:

New Jersey wanted their voting machines studied.....I don't think they
liked what Princeton found.
