Good riddance to the pirates. At last, the military were freed up to do what they’re put in place to do, protect Americans.

God Bless the Navy Seals of the United States Navy…just one of the arms of the greatest armed forces in the world!
America…we do not have to apologize for our position in this world as Saul Alinsky Obama recently did overseas.
BOWING DEEPLY in subserviance to the King of Saudi Arabia…Abdullah!
We are a great “Christian” nation made up of millions of Christians who prayed for this Captain during his ordeal!
America…starting in the Clinton years…the Democratzi have downsized our Navy from over 700 ships to about 300 today! Clinton began closing bases and reducing military personnel during his term.
Now Saul Alinsky Obama, the first Muslim ever elected to the highest office in our “Christian” nation…is beginning his agenda to do more damage to our armed forces and our defenses.
Taking down our nuclear defenses at a time when so many terrorist rogue nations themselves have developed nuclear weapons…he is trying to dismantle ours.
Did this man not take an oath on January 20th, 2009 to preserve and protect the American people and our Constitution? So what gives here?
Does he not realize what kind of a world we live in?
Secret messages to Russia, secret messages from Hamas, he is playing dangerous politics of diplomacy in a dangerous world…he is endangering our security by doing so!
Thank you, again, to the Navy for their bravery and their perseverance!
=========================
GOD BLESS AMERICA…THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE…OUR GRACIOUS GRATITUDE TO OUR “CHRISTIAN” GOD WHO PROTECTED, YET AGAIN, OUR GREAT NATION AND ONE OF IT’S CITIZENS!
Now take the whole lot out.

God Bless our Military and God Bless President Obama!
Annorexic Coulter can now get back to throwing up in her bathroom.
Eileen can you at least stop lying on Easter? I know its hard for you but give it a shot.
Thats what Im talking about !!!!!! Kill all these little pi– ant cockroach Somali scum. Now we need to arm all American boats. That will end the problem. If other countries dont want to arm their boats, so be it !!!!!!
Dear Observantminority…of which we are very glad that “you” are in the minority…there is no better time than Resurrection Sunday to tell the truth…the whole truth and nothing but the truth!
I’ll say it agin, the democratic party does not and has never supported out troops. i.e. Harry (the war is lost) Reid, Chuck Schumer comparing our forces to Nazi’s, Jack Murtha accusing fellow Marines of murder, and John Kerry’s treasonous and traitor activities. The left is weak on defense. BHO has already proposed cutting the military by 25% at a critical time in history when we need to be building it up. According to the left there are no terrorist. Wake up america, get that loser pacifist BHO out of office and all the democrats who do not want a strong defense. Eileen you are absolutely on point, as is Ann Coulter most of the time. Stupid Left will sell this country out.
Trust me Eileen, the right-wing wacko conservatives are a PERMANENT minority all on their own and will stay that way for a long time to come. If you respected Resurrection Sunday you wouldn’t spend it being hateful lying lecher.
And Desertpoof, the Democratic Party and the mainstream majority always support our troops but we do NOT support LYING by an Administration to justify sending our troops to occupy a country just to fulfill the wishes of neo-cons who want to get a foothold in the middle east.
Americans also don’t like liars who lie about lying and won’t admit to lying. “Mistakes were made” is NOT enough.
Just so you know, Annorexic Coulter was foaming at the mouth last night claiming the President had failed before the world in rescuing the Maersk Alabama’s Captain. I’m sure the White House is laughing at the conservo-wackos yet again today. Oh how I wish I could make a nickel every time one of you put your foot in your mouth. I could make a quick million off of Annorexic alone.
Thank God Captain “Richy” is safe, he’s a good man who acted bravely honorably for his crew and it’s an Easter blessing for us all.
I give no credit to obama I give all of it to the SEALS AND CAPT: PHILIPS.
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS>.
NOW START TO DESTROY THE PIRATES BASES.
To this point the Obama administration held off violent action for the last few days. It has only been under pressure of pundits like Coulter that the seals where unleashed to do what they do best–kill bad guys.
Glad to see that the administration can be pressured into doing the right thing even at the expense of offending Muslims.
This has been widely reported that they–the seals–had been chomping at the bit for days to take these creeps out.
As the threat to the Captain Richy became eminent, the military did what they could have done for a few days now. To let him die would have been a massive black eye to the administration akin to Carter’s rescue fiasco in Iran.
I’m glad Obama did the right thing and gave the go ahead. This is to his credit despite the reluctance.
Hopefully, more sound decisions are to follow.
As for the dems being a permanent fixture in office. I doubt it. I’m sure the GOP thought the same thing as they took the house, senate and executive office back in 2000. The midterms will be a good barometer of how well socialism is perceived by the American public. There are a ton of loony leftists aligned with the democrats who now feel okay to flaunt it these days. Most Americans are not amused, hence the awful polling numbers congress is coming up with. You’ll also see a lot more right-wing activism next time around.
Well that’s just racism. LOL I can hear it now.
Observant-Need i remind you Sandy Berger stole documents out of the National archives to cover up for Bill Clinton’s wussy actions. Additionally Jimmy Carter was so weak on defense that there were Americans held captive in Iran for 444 days. The Left is so worried about offending someone’s sensibilities that they can’t even call terrorism by name and refer to it as a man caused disaster. C’mon i’m sure all our enemies are trembling by this weak administrations stance on Nat’l defense. After serving 21 years in the military i can assure you that the democrats do not support the troops and have countlessly pulled the rug out from under our guys in harms way.How can you defend that! Face the left is weak.
Maybe now that Obamawacky has the “dog” he should save a tetanus shot and some flea powder for Observantminority, who seems to be foaming at the mouth.
Three cheers for the Navy.
[...] got a couple of video reports on what went down, and the reactions of the crew members of the Maersk who were anxious for their [...]
Gandi- That’s weak. Rethugs and the conservo-whack right have to learn how to pick their battles. Fix News can’t say that Obama is being tested before the world on the one hand then try to deny the A+ he got when he succeeds. Fix News did NOT say the Navy Seals are on test before the world when the Captain was being held, they said OBAMA was being tested. I am sitting here rolling in laughter at all the FIX News doublespeak going on. It’s such a joke.
Rethugs may reorganize but only after the battle between normal mainstream republicans and the whack-right is resolved. It is highly unlikely that will happen in the next 8-12 years. The republicans have poll numbers in the 20s. GWB and Iraq damaged your party far more than you all admit. Obama has high approval numbers and Americans aren’t buying the whack job claims of Socialism, Facism, Muslim, born in Kenya crap. It makes you all look like foaming at the mouth crazies.
Desert- Sandy Berger apparently did steal or tried to steal documents from the Natl. Archives so I’m certainly not going to defend him. He should have been arrested. There’s no evidence that Clinton had anything to do with that though.
Jimmy Carter certainly had his issues however it was his failed hostage rescue attempt that made our military realize that our military assets were not well-designed to work in desert sandstorm conditions and our pilots needed more effective training to handle those harsh conditions. Our success in the middle east is directly traced to the lessons learned under Carter.Now as much as the right wishes it to be so, Barack Obama is no Jimmy Carter. I appreciate your military service but frankly all those “weak on defense”, “democrats hate the troops” slogans don’t work on us under-40 kids.
Well servant-minority your right about one thing…you are just a “kid”.A foolish,gullible. naive one at that!
As a liberal, i feel so bad for the shortended lives of the “pirates”.They were only children…and children of God too.Such young beautiful and promising lives snuffed out so early, its all so terribly sad.I was assualted by youths such as this years ago and i am sure they regretted it, i bet they are Doctors and Engineers now.Forgive and forget i say.
As far as FIX NOISE and Coultergiest’s ranting last night on that fake show “Geraldo at small”, You are all once again eating crow now! LOL!
Obama talks small but carry’s a big stick! Who’s laughing now you whack jobs! Was Coultergeist and the rest of you ideological fruitcakes suggesting that all the Democrat servicemen and women who are serving now, and have served and died in the present and past for this country were, and are now, in vein?
Let me remind you morons that as a Navy Airedale veteran, the U.S. Navy / Military does NOT take a SH*T without explicit approval from the Commander and Chief of the Armed forces of these United States! That of course being President Barack Obama! I GUARANTEE you he, and the Navy gained HUGE points on this one! AAAAA+ all the way! Unlike our last idiot commander, and you idiots that think the answer to every crisis that comes around is to go in with “guns a blazing” without actually thinking anything through first, or talking directly to, and taking suggestions from the the lower commanders at the scene!
A HUGE congrats to President Obama and his Brave and Mighty Military!
And the rest of you hat mongers can go cry in your moonshine and do your regular deep knee bends in your cucumber patches as usual! You took it right up the back end on this one this time! LOL!!
And the Far Right Rethuglican’t Hypocrisy Comedy Parade Continues…….
Great Easter Sunday news. Kill them all.
Obama had nothing to do with this… it was Navy SEALS doing what they were trained to do. Obama’s never even been a Boy Scout.
Okay Hussein Obama, good job, now then,lets start getting the gangster thugs that rape and terrorize our women on the streets of every major city.Oh, i forgot they are Acorn employees…never mind..
Wacko- Are you saying that Obama’s proposed 25% cut in our military makes us stronger, and his end to missle defense at a time when NK has fired a missle over Japan makes us stronger. How are we eating crow, The SEALS went in there and took care of business. As i understand it Obama had to be asked twice to authorize the use of force to protect the captain. Yeah i guess he talks small alright. As an airedale i think that you would want a stronger defense and not the cuts proposed by the weak democrats. Maybe if we had a stronger military this pirate thing would have never happened. Obama is a hack and has never served in the military. How can you defend that empty suit? I can bring up many mmore examples of Democrats not being strong on defense. Berger stole records out of the Nat’l archives to cover for Clinton missing Bin-Laden. And why the name calling? I only stated my opinion on the left and you are definately entitled to yours, but i think you might be the one who is unstable, just compare your rant and other left leaning rants on here and you’ll see who the real wacko’s are.
FU Right wing wacko(if thats your real name)..over and out..
fande3rls April 12th, 2009 – 4:21 pm
100% right on!
The inaction is additional proof that it is incumbent on citizens to make sure those who voted for senator hussein are never ever able to pull that voting lever again, by any means necessary.
Do it covertly, do it often, and whenever you can make it look like a black-on-black crime.
What a joke. Four Somalies hold off the “Most Powerful Navy” in the world for how many days?
Disgraceful. This should have been dealt with the first day!
Nice job Commander in Chief. But of course we don’t want to seem overly agressive to the needy and downtroden black folk do we?
Attention Captains……when you see a little boat out in the ocean full of thugs…..shoot them…..don’t ask questions…just shoot them….no one will know….it’s international waters…….no holds barred
Well for all you Obama hate monger crybabies out there, I’m sitting here watching your beloved FIX NOISE gushing over the smooth and smart tactical decisions of this new President. In the process throwing their sheep WAY under the bus by making statements like, “OUTSTANDING MOVE ON PRESIDENT OBAMAS PART”, TRULY “PRESIDENTIAL”, “A DEFINING MOMENT IN HIS EARLY PRESIDENCY”, “SURELY TO RAISE HIS JOB APPROVAL NUMBERS EVEN MORE THAN THEY ALREADY ARE” ETC., ETC., And all this coming from many of his most fiercest opponents on military issues!
Oh no!…….Even MORE of a nightmare for the Party of “NO” to deal with. *WINK* LOL! (GRIN)
Face it you bunch of whiner losers! America LOVES a winner! Even your beloved Fox News is admitting it, they just can’t praise him enough right now, OBAMA IS A WINNER!
If Bush were handling this, we would still be waiting another 7 years for the captain to be freed, with hundreds of thousands of innocent human beings dying, and hundreds of Billions of $ unaccounted for in the process. Kind of like his strategy for Bin Laden!
Well done Obama and the Seals, well done!
And the Far Right Rethuglican’t Hypocrisy Comedy Parade Continues……
:)
It ended up working out just the way it was expected to. Carefully planed, timed, and executed by the book. That tard Bush probably would have bombed Ghana…
The reaction here is just as expected too from those that love America, and those that hate it…
Let’s hope however that the United States takes this event as a serious wake up call that Somalia needs to be brought under control very quickly. Piracy was never a problem here for 200 years till Bush screwed up. Now Obama has this problem to solve too… Somalia could very quickly become a terror exporter and that needs to be stopped now. Even though some here in the United States hope he fails, the vast majority of Americans will do everything we can to help our president succeed.
Far Right Idiot, Larsehole, Observanturd:
Did the wittle Easter bunny not delivery your wittle chocolate obama gifts today??
Do you think for a minute that Obam would order Muzlooms to be killed? Not a chance. He ordered NOTHING.
Three is a good start, however.
[...] has a couple of video reports on this (H/T Sister [...]
“Somalia needs to be brought under control very quickly. Piracy was never a problem here for 200 years till Bush screwed up.”
LarseHole,
You might try a history book once in a while, as opposed to your coloring and comic books. Somalia is where Blackhawk Down happened on Clinton’s watch. Oh yeah, you prepubescent wanker, that’s where the operation was completely phucked up, and we cut and run. Not unlike Carter’s abortion of a desert rescue. Nice try, douchebag. Here’s one for you. I give Obama credit for today’s rescue, you wankerchild.
@Far Right Wing Wacko
You got the order wrong. In order of courageousness, the Captain would be first due to his selfless potential sacrifice for his crew, then the seals who performed flawlessly and finally Obama, who allowed them to do what they’ve been itching to for a couple of days now.
Yes, the administration should and has gotten credit here and deservedly so. Just as it would have taken the heat if it had gone the other way.
Now there are “leaks” reporting that he “twice” gave the order for decisive action. Ummm…more spin please, I haven’t had enough. Clearly, the White House does not want to be seen holding up the seals from putting these pirates down. There would be no other reason for such a “leak” other than to make the administration look more hawkish in this incident, now that it turned out in our favor. Better they had “leaked” nothing at all.
Also, a lot of Fox bashing by the left on these boards? Don’t confuse the commentators with the news there. As it turns out an independent audit of their reportage gave Fox much better numbers as it relates to lack of bias when compared to all the other network and cable channels. This likely explains their massive ratings lead. Sain people can smell bias a mile away. BTW: I take in most of my news via the BBC.
As for you traditionalist haters out there. It is we, the middle class and better healed who pay the bills in this country. If the productive, traditional “wealthy” you loathe so much were to disappear, the resulting collapse of America would be funny to watch if it wouldn’t be so tragic. What Obama’s election confirms is that people can vote stuff for themselves, by making it legal to take it from the harder working in society. What a grand lesson that is. The worst of the welfare recipients are the politicos themselves. If you want to see how the effete well-heeled live, check out your congress. Take a real hard look, with a critical eye. Pick your party, it doesn’t matter, they’re doing better than you are. If anyone required scrutiny and oversight it is they. And most of “they” are democrats. Have you seen these clowns in action? A real days work would likely put em in the grave. Public servants indeed.
More or less, people on these boards are like everyone else on these boards. Yet, some of you choose to spew hateful tasteless invective. On both sides of the political spectrum. A far left nut can call a centrist a Nazi, likewise a far right wacko can call a moderate a commie. Some simply cut and paste from other sites (the most boring of all), but that is an open forum for you.It would be nice to see some engage gray matter before finger hits keyboard though. I’m not expecting it, but it would be nice.
I wish I could tell you about the 95% off all this you will never hear about. But in these cases, loose lips really do sink ships…
But it is wonderful to see things go so well start to finish with an almost flawless outcome. That took a lot of work, coordination, and leadership. The White House had to coordinate the whole mess. In this case, there are no diplomatic concerns since Somalia is a ‘don’t care’. Obama’s order(s) to “do it” did not matter since that was a given. What mattered here is that the entire military ‘machine’ seems to be working again even with the FBI in this case. As in any situation like this, it is best if it can be negotiated, and most are thus the FBI’s involvement. The surviving pirates will also prosecuted in the United States and the FBI will be handling that.
Excellent teamwork paid off and it is the beginning of the end for the pirates. Today was a good day in Somalia. They won’t all be good. But the game is clear now.
Of course, some folks don’t like America to be successful if it might remotely make that Obama guy look good. They would rather things go bad just so they can whine about it and blame Obama. Like America’s regular enemies, they only win when America fails. But they only do it for personal satisfaction. Or like Coulter, Rush, Beck, Kristol, etc. it’s how they make their money… Not liking Obama is on thing, but hurting the country just to make him look bad is something else.
Then there is Eileen, who seems to have completely missed the obvious reason for Obama’s success in this operation. Obama obviously knows exactly how to deal with Somalia since he was born there :D
Hope you all had a good Easter. I did! :)
“Not liking Obama is on thing, but hurting the country just to make him look bad is something else.”
LarseHole,
Your posts get stupider and stupider with every moment. “To make him look bad?” Do you mean like calling Bush dumb at every turn? Or falsely accusing him of lying regarding Iraqi intelligence pre war? Or saying he went into Iraq so his oil buddies could get rich?
You blamed the conditions in Somalia on Bush, when Clinton f-ed it up. So you then come out with the most hypocritical of statements about “Hurting the country to make him look bad.” If one eliminated hypocrisy from your (Or any libturd, for the matter) arguments, you would be forced to remain completely silent.
You are an oxygen starved, insignificant little wanker boy.
All of the mouth-breathers… the naysayers… all of those who decried that the President was “owned” by the pirates…
ALL of the dittoheads claiming that this was “Obamas’ Katrina”… & complaining that he was ((((gasp)))) eating PIZZA during this crisis..
ALL of the “Saturday Evening Quarterbacks” who thought the best way to handle the situation was to “b.l.o.w them ALL out of the water” (INCLUDING the HOSTAGE) just to show them “who’s BOSS”..
ALL of you bitter children who STILL aren’t willing to admit that your were WRONG (as if a neoconservative was even CAPABLE of doing so)…
ALL of you LOSERS who are gnashing your teeth down to the NUBS today at this news…
THIS is how it’s DONE.
An operation done RIGHT in EVERY respect.
Perfect.
NONE of the shallow PR bluster that would have accompanied the “Codpiece Commander”…
NONE of the bumper-sticker rhetoric that DID accompany the right-wing demagoguery…. & is STILL being perpetuated by their mindless DRONES here on this thread…
Just quiet.. professional, well planned, focused RESOLVE.
LEADERSHIP….
..& it’s NICE to have it back after so long, isn’t it?
And the Far Right Rethuglican’t Hypocrisy Comedy Parade Continues………
@Far Right Wing Wacko
Nothing but extreme left-wing liberal boilerplate. If an original idea turned up in your posts, I’d have to procure digitalis.
I believe President Obama is going to be one of the greatest, if not greatest President’s we have ever had. He is brilliant, he is kind, he is classy, he works non-stop for the benefit of all, he is respectful, he is an excellent diplomat, look at what he has accomplished since he has been in office—-he is amazing especially with the horrible problems he has to deal with. Handling the Pirate situation is just another example of what a great leader he is. and oh yeah, a great husband and father and example for the rest of us.
Put them in check,Far Right Wing Wacko
I don,t even feel like bothering with these right wing,tin foil hat,hate mongers today.
They are just pathetic.
Julie S… you typical liberal. Projecting imagined greatness on another does not miraculously make him great. Obama is a mere puppet of a world domination machine. He calls no shots whatsoever. You believe in him because you are weak and helpless. Get a grip on reality, dummy.
If this happened with George Bush… you would have called him a murderous cowboy. Think about where your mind is going. People like you harm society, and should not ever vote, because you are incapable of making a thoughtful choice.
Don’t get me wrong… I’m glad the pirates are dead, and I hope we kill them all. However, the mission was accomplished by the Navy SEALS… not by NO-Bama.
Enzo,
Julie S. has a brain the size of a tse tse fly, period. For the record, the pirates were all teenagers and all of them exposed themselves at once. While I commend the snipers, they would be the first to tell you it was an easy task. When Obama gets Russia and China to change their stance on Iran and North Korea, I will be the first one here to congratulate him. Also, when he rids the inner cities of our homegrown and illegal “pirates”, I will similarly pay tribute.
Post a Comment

I wonder if Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the ACLU have contacted the pirates’ famalies yet?
