Since the Somali Pirates seized a ship under American flag, even though the crew retook the ship and the captain gave himself over for hostage, John 'Fraud' Kerry is once again Calling for Hearings

Yeah, Cackling Hillary probably put the fear of God into 'em by reminding everyone that we went through this a couple of centuries ago and we "partnered up" with Morocco to solve it back then...wait a minute, that ain't the way I heard it...something about ..."to the shores of Tripoli"....Marines....hmmm, I need to grab my old Jr. High history book...the one that actually had true history before the revisionists started rewriting it and brush up on this story.....

I was pretty set of a BS stamp on this hearing nonsense at first but lately I've come round to thinking it just might be the best way to go.

With hearings come delays - grandstanding, counter grandstanding, counter-counter ... well you get the picture.

Such delays are probably a good thing. At least then dumb dumb Kerry gets much needed stupid exposure and it slows down Obama's ability to kiss up to the pirates and make nice.

Perhaps if we buy enough time with congressional hearings, we can get the USS Constitution on station,

We should all stock up on popcorn Razz

Meanwhile, brave Captain Phillips will have to save himself while President GoodWrench addresses more serious concerns. You can't make this stuff up!

Laura Ingraham gave the quickest, cheapest and simplest way of ending this situation I've heard yet.

Four Marine Snipers and Four bullets.

Crisis over!

I think they are on to the sniper thing because they have boarded up the windows and are staying out of sight, so....

...a Navy Seal attaches a remotely detonated explosive to the bottom of the boat and waits for the next time the Captain tries to excape by jumping overboard and swimming. As soon as he is clear of the boat, push the detonator button...hate to lose a perfectly good lifeboat, though.

If the snipers are out, aim every gun on the Destroyer at the little boat and let them know the only thing keeping the guns from firing is the Captain's safety.

Then tell them their only hope is to release the Captain, unharmed, and drift away, free and clear. Harm the Captain and every gun opens fire immediately.

Give them one hour to comply.

Once the Captain is released unharmed, fire the guns with a big "oops, we bad, sorry about that."

...of course there's that embarrassing "armada" of captured ships steaming to reinforce the 4 Pirates, so will Obama eventually surpass Carter's record for the most non-military hostages held by Muslim terrorists for the longest time when this all plays out...and the Pirates/Muslim Jihadis get their own Reality Show and an interview on Larry King? I can't believe Obama and Geithner haven't already included the ransom in the latest "stimulus" package or the just-passed budget. At the rate things are going, Somalia will be a rich nation soon and be able to buy even better Pirate ships to keep the cycle going.

From Obama's lack of replies to questions asked of him about this, it appears he cannot be bothered.

So, your scenario may turn out true.

It seems when we put Democrats in charge, every little tin horn dictator and third world nation of thugs knows they can do as they please against us with impunity.

I'd like to have been a fly on the wall at the meeting to give the "go ahead". The news is making it look like it was all Obama's idea, but knowing what we know about him and his policies, there must be more to it than that. Maybe his focus group finally gave their results. If he thought he could gain personally from it, he would have blown his grandmother out of the water, so we'll have to see how the "rest of the story" plays out. In the meantime, let's all be thankful for the safe return of the Captain and the apparent happy ending to this ugly drama. Well done Seals! You will probably see more action before this nest of Muslim thug Jihadis (aka "Pirates") is totally dispatched to Davy Jones' Locker to spend eternity with 72 ugly Sirens.

..."after review from the booth", it seems "'President Barack Obama granted the Pentagon's request for standing authority to use appropriate force to save the life of the captain', Vice Admiral William Gortney, head of the U.S. Naval Central Command, said in a Pentagon briefing from Bahrain. 'They were pointing the AK-47s at the captain. The on-scene commander took it as the captain was in imminent danger and then made that decision (to kill the pirates) and he had the authority to make that decision and he had seconds to make that decision.'"

"PIRATES" Vow Revenge!

Somali pirates were quick to vow revenge over the shooting of their comrades, as well as a French military assault to rescue a yacht on Friday.

"The French and the Americans will regret starting this killing. We do not kill, but take only ransom. We shall do something to anyone we see as French or American from now," Hussein, a pirate, told Reuters by satellite phone...hmmmm, they already killed a French hostage. Did they forget about that one, or do they mean they only kill some hostages but now, look out, they are REALLY mad and they will kill more.....Arrrrrgg!

NOW FOR THE BAD NEWS

Andrew Mwangura, coordinator of Mombasa-based East African Seafarers Assistance Program, said the rescue would change the stakes in future pirate attacks.

"This is a big wake-up to the pirates. It raises the stakes. Now they may be more violent, like the pirates of old," he said.

So far, pirates have generally treated hostages well, sometimes roasting goat meat for them and even passing phones round so they can call loved ones. The worst violence reported has been the occasional beating and no hostages are known to have been killed by pirates.

"This could escalate violence in this part of the world -- no question about it," said Gortney.

The U.S. Justice Department said in a statement it "will be reviewing the evidence and other issues to determine whether to seek prosecution in the United States."

...Jimmy Carter LIberal approach to fighting wars. Treat every engagement like a crime. Bog down OUR courts. I guess some types NEVER learn. OK, let's flood the jury pool with Vets.....

Since Obama was quick to take credit for this, Twice authorizing lethal force according to unnamed White House officials, will he also accept blame should this escalate as promised by the Pirates?

I think the Navy Seals acted appropriately and killing these Pirates was the right choice, but I highly doubt Obama placed his personal stamp of approval on it, considering that just Friday he refused any comment and deflected questions.

Bush would have been castigated for "excessive use of force" had this happened during his term and escalated, whether he gave the green light or not.
