Awesome Job by the Navy Seals!

Good call by the Prez and even better execution by the Navy. I'm sure the family and the seaman are very grateful on a grateful day.

Im just sad that it took a day and a half longer than it shouldve.

As I said elsewhere,great job. FIDO and Boonie can you imagine how long those guys stayed on station and waited to get that shot without injuring the captain. What an amazing job by those men and their commanders. As well as getting the bad guy ,they did it without the loss of another very brave man. As I said ,way to go.

Nice commentary about our current President and past President.......making the right decisions at the right time

I can't believe the other pirates who think that the US (or anyone for that matter)did wrong here. What did they expect? Do they really believe that hijacking these ships is legal and their right?

I've heard somalis have made threats against law enforcement within the borders of the US because of this.

Imagine what our military would do to this country. They are as big of a threat as a 2 legged dog.

[whodeyAtown21]

Yeah, it's hilarious. Unless you have family in law enforcement.

Get a clue.

It will take a lot of innocent civilians being murdered before Obama would initiate anything against this country.

[grizzlynatural]

It is hilarious. I hope you end up over there, by yourself


I know hes not going to declare war on them, im just saying who do they think they are number one, and number two dont they know who WE are?

Obama's administration is already considering attack them at their land bases. So I don't think it would take much provocation.

As far as Im concerned, we got our provocation this morning when the Somali pirates decided to escalate the problem by hijacking 4 more ships.

We were sending PMs about this earlier, so I did some checking with some friends in law enforcement. Was told that rumor has it Athens Co. deputies have been threatened by those thug somalis out of Columbus. Let em come up on my property and threaten me or mine and I will educate them real quick on shotgun tactics.
