Excerpt from the President's remarks:
"Some of us wonder if our current Overseas Contingency Operation would even be needed had the last administration not been so quick to label Pirates as 'thieves', 'terrorists' and worse. Such swashbucklaphobia can lead to tragic results, as we have seen this week.
To address this issue, I have instructed Vice President Joe Biden to create a cabinet-level Czar of Pirate Outreach and Buccaneer Interrelation. In addition, June 1-7 has been designated as Pirate Awareness Week, during which all federal buildings will fly the Jolly Roger and sponsor sensitivity training. Thankfully, my American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will fund free grog and hard tack for all attendees."
Are you as glad as I am that we have such a guy as Obama ready to handle such a crisis?

ReplyDelete"The American( that ) 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? "

I believe Obama is on the Red Phone to the Navy ships on scene directing them NOT to interfere lest we insult or diss our Muslims brothers. You know, the guys from Obama's homeland.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, it appears the U.S. has sent "economic stimulus" aid in the form of FBI negotiators who will insure the pirates get a fair price in the marketplace for their services.
Last word is that 54 more hostages are enroute by sea, carried by other pirate groups, to cash in on the deal.
"Hey, Obama's givin' away free money HERE!! Let's go!"
If the AHOTUS can't even protect one single man sitting in the middle of an ocean surrounded by U.S. Navy ships, how the hell can that idiot protect you and me here at home??
God help us.
Those poor unfortunate pirates just need a little stimulus plan, ohhh about 2 mil might do the trick. What a joke....... Beau
