The adoration of the Obamessiah

“Sure, non. But I don't bring anyone's family into my discussions here in any sort of negative way. You did that. Whatever. I'm not going to have a Sarge conniption fit over it, it's just a fukhead thing to do and I'm sure you realize that.

“Yes Pammie, when the politicians sell out to the polluters and the financial industry; that's where the big money is.

Tilt

All politicians, even the libbies, are owned by some people, some organizations, or some corporations, it's only a question of whom and for how much.

Trust no one.”

“What always cracks me up is how Some People post time and again that Robert Byrd was in the KKK for a year or two, seventy years ago.

The fact that he completely supports mountaintop removal to this very day doesn't faze them one tiny bit. And these are supposed to be backpackers?”

“I've seen this a couple times now. Note this is from 1934 - sound familiar?

”

“That's real familiar, Mutt.

Today's reactionaries are just about as nasty as those in the '30s with their worn out "Stalin" nonsense and pushing the idea of an elected government turning into a "dictatorship".

Yo, little dickbag...........Stalin is dead!”

“The United States tells them not to do it. The useless United Nations tells them not to do it. They do it. It has been five days since North Korea launched a missile capable of reaching Hawaii. What is America's response? What is the international response? The silence is deafening. What are we showing here? Weakness or strength?

The mad man that runs Iran is bragging that they now have 7000 centrifuges up and running making enriched nuclear weapons-grade fuel. He also brags that they have developed a technology that enhances the enrichment progress. At the same time the Iranian president continues to say that Israel's days are limited. In the meantime Vice President Joe Biden warns Israel that they had better not even think about attacking Iran. No strong warning to Iran. What are we projecting here, strength or weakness?

The Islamic pirates continue to hold an American hostage off the coast of Somalia. We're talking, not acting. So far I have not heard about any search for the pirate mother ship and there's no talk of blockading Somalian ports. The pirates may well end up with millions of dollars and safe passage to Somalia where they will release their American hostage. Strength or weakness?

The American the ragtag Islamic pirates are holding tried to escape. He dove out of the boat and into the water and tried to get away. Our Navy was standing off and not close enough to help him. The Islamic pirates overtook him and took him into custody again. This man tried to escape in full view of American forces. They were either unable or unwilling to help him. Perhaps the American Captain thought that when he was out of the pirate's boat the Navy would blow them away. Didn't happen. Strength or Weakness?

America - once strong, now cowering.

Change you can believe in?”

“you're right, we should just bomb everyone in order to preserve the peace”

“strat - its been almost three YEARs since North Korea fired 6 missles in a single day. I'm still waiting for the Republican response to that one.

If this shows Obama is weak, Bush is a total limp dick.”

“I remember the Democrat's response three years ago. They wanted to pull all the troops out of Iraq and send them to North Korea.

Obama has announced a long term commitment to keeping troops in Iraq and he does not want to seem 'arrogant' to North Korea.”

“"Islamic Pirates"??

I suppose those guys are part of a world-wide conspiracy to which all "Islamics" are connected.

It's World War Three!!
Wake up and start killin' somebody!!”

“"every Chinese restaurant out there across the United States, every one is a sleeper cell."”

1) Don't you think Neal Boortz might get pissed at you for constantly plagiarizing his blather?

2) Was the response macho enough for your liking?”

“hi-larius ----

Maybe we should've sent Cheney over there on a duck hunting trip.”

“I think the Seals woulda capped Dick before he had a chance to get a shot off at them.”

“Vile baby, um only three of the NK rockets launched actually launched....(LOL) of course when you take the Leftists line hook line and sinker (apparently you are pretty good at swallowing stuff) it only make sense.

I think the response to the terrorists was excellent. I am laughing my tail off about the rest of the world wringing their hands at the thought of "what will happen to the remaining hostages????"

WGASA its time we stopped protecting the world "RIGHT?" Hey if Upper Slobovia can't protect its citizens thats their problem.”

“"WGASA its time we stopped protecting the world..."
XLax

There ya go with the "WE" #&%!$ again.
I suppose it pumps your self esteem or something.

Terrorists??
Those guys were pirates, "working" for personal gain.”

“LOL Good Ole DrunkO following the "Party Line"...”

“I would say that lumping those PIRATES in with terrorists is following the party line.........the republican party line that got us into an un-necessary war with a petty thieving dictator who was also lumped in with "the terrorists".

Let's have a drink and talk about your obsession with me.
I promise I won't take advantage of you.”

“I uh don't drink, sadly I have to be productive so that I can support the Parasites out there like you.”

“Oh yeah, you're taking care of me.

You are drunk!

How about being REAL productive by being a real father instead of an absentee dick wad?”

“pirates are considered hostis humani generis. terrorists are not, at least not by the legal community. lumping them together is just spouting off rhetoric you've heard from some commentator.

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama twice authorized the military to rescue a U.S. captain who was being held by Somali pirates and whose life appeared to be at risk, administration official said after Sunday's rescue.

The Defense Department twice asked Obama for permission to use military force to rescue Capt. Richard Phillips from a lifeboat off the Somali coast. Obama first gave permission around 8 p.m. Friday, and upgraded it at 9:20 a.m. Saturday. Officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations said the second order was to encompass more military personnel and equipment that arrived in the Indian Ocean to engage the pirates.

how you gonna spin this one?”

“He's still gay and eats baby whales.”

“those damn baby whales have got to go!”

“Damn straight! Boy, I bet this episode is leaving the reicht pissed off it didn't go badly.

Remember: they want Obama to fail...”

“I'm surprised these same people who criticized his inaction last week haven't already come out condemning the use of force... maybe that's too hypocritical even for them”

“BHO finally let the professionals do their job. That is good. He refused their first couple requests to take action. That was weak, particularly after the bravery and general ball-brassness that the Captain showed trying to escape his captors.

The SEALS made 3 simultaneous head shots. From boat to boat. Wow. (Tilt, of course, thinks they're murderers).”

“I think they should make a mission out of something like this in the next Tom Clancy video game... I'm trying to picture that and I bet it was pretty awesome”

“I hear the Congress wants to call for an investigation of piracy, apparently Pelosi and Frank want to call Johnny Depp to testify.”

“"BHO finally let the professionals do their job.He refused their first couple requests to take action."

That is premium bullschit, just what I would expect from a Monday Morning Cheerleader.”

“last I heard, the "terrorists" were all dead and the captain is now safe and unscathed. What, exactly, is there to criticize here? Seriously now...

Maybe he SHOULD have acted sooner. Maybe he SHOULD have authorized laser beams or homing bumblebees or trained dolphins or the world's smallest smart-bomb. How can anybody claim to know better when it comes to a military hostage situation? How can you second-guess a decision that was 100% successful, of which we, the public, will never know more than the most basic and topical of details?”

“Those clowns are just lookin' for an excuse to be hatin' on Obama.”

“Best MSM write-up I've read of what went down:

Three shots rang out, ending standoff
Kidnapped Captain Freed

AP AFP/US Navy – Maersk-Alabama Capt. Richard Phillips (R) stands alongside Cmdr. Frank Castellano, commanding officer … By PAULINE JELINEK and CALVIN WOODWARD, Associated Press Writers Pauline Jelinek And Calvin Woodward, Associated Press Writers – 1 hr 40 mins ago

WASHINGTON – Ordered to shoot to kill, snipers on the heaving stern of the destroyer had one improbable chance to get it right.

Anything less than direct hits killing three pirates with three bullets would have placed the American hostage, merchant Capt. Richard Phillips, in mortal danger, if not sealed his fate.

The scene was set as darkness fell Sunday evening off the African coast: The last three pirates, holding Phillips in an enclosed powerless lifeboat, appeared to be running out of patience with their predicament.

Bobbing for days after their brazen attempt to seize Phillips' ship failed, their mood was "going up and down" like the ocean swells, according to U.S. accounts of the negotiations.

They were described as increasingly agitated, and it's easy to see why. Life aboard the lifeboat was plainly miserable. It's a sweltering, elongated fiberglass bubble with no setup for sleeping or going to the bathroom on board.

A fourth pirate had surrendered, boarding the destroyer for treatment of a wound to his hand.

The remaining three pirates and the U.S. Navy, like barroom brawlers agreeing to take it outside, had decided to move their standoff to calmer waters.

As night fell, the Bainbridge had the lifeboat under tow when two developments told the Navy the pirates might be getting desperate, U.S. officials said in their reconstruction of events.

First, a tracer bullet arced from the lifeboat toward the Bainbridge.

Then, through one of the few openings on the lifeboat, Phillips could be seen with a gun pointed at him, almost touching him.

The risk seemed obvious, but what about opportunity? Clean lines of fire that would leave the pirates' captive safe were hard to come by when taking aim at the bubble.

Three Navy SEALs aboard the Bainbridge waited quietly in the darkness for that opportunity.

They had parachuted into the sea to join the destroyer, bringing to the scene a highly trained and thoroughly equipped unit of stealthy rescuers — and killers.

Now they were 25 or so yards from their targets, waiting.

The opportunity arrived. The three hostage-takers were observed with their heads and shoulders all exposed at once, said Vice Adm. William Gortney, commander of U.S. Naval Forces in the region.

Three shots rang out.

Three pirates were dead or rapidly dying.

Phillips was found safe, his hands bound.”

“I reckon they were waiting for an opportunity and for the situation to become urgent, not moment-by-moment permission from the president.”

“I am getting a bit ticked at the "why did they wait so long"crowd too. Look it takes time to put assets on the ground (sea).

And they had to get the proper timing for the shot. Overall good operation. From what I hear PrezBO said,"Go" and let the professionals handle it....Good Call. Although it was unilateral...(LOL)”

“Gulp!!

You duh man, X.

Well, at least it wasn't bisexual.”

“That is premium bullschit - MarkO

This was a 5 day ordeal, and the military only had permission for the last few hours of it, despite the Captain doing his damnedest to create opportunity for action. Obama is Commander in Chief. He should've immediately told US forces to shoot the pirates at the first opportunity, defend through force all civilian merchant vessels from piracy, and give standing permission for the US Navy to attack pirate motherships and strongholds.”

“Cut... Print... That’s a wrap.”

“"He should've immediately told US forces to shoot the pirates at the first opportunity, defend through force all civilian merchant vessels from piracy."

Bush should have acted on this when he had the chance. This #&%!$ was going on at the end of his adminstration and he chose to nothing, but you blame Obama for waiting to long.

At least he acted.”

“I agree Bush should have acted. In my first post I gave credit to Obama for acting.”

“Missed that.”

“The second guessing here is thick...............as a brick.”

“Second guessing my ass - it wouldn't have been too far in the past that the very thought of a bunch of thugs with small arms in small boats causing so much disruption to international shipping would have been laughable.”

“And really, Obama only gave the narrowest window of permission - only if the Captain's life was in imminent danger. It was basically voting "present", risking the least amount of political capital if the Captain wound up dead. And I'll bet you anything, if that had come to pass, the Captain of the Brainbridge (the guy who actually gave the order) would now be strung up on a yardarm, and Obama would be backpedalling as fast and as far as he could.”

“Speculative spin................at it's best.”

“They want Obama to fail...”
