First off, Congratulations and Welcome Home to Captain Phillips. I know your friends and family are so very happy to know your safe.
Captain Phillips is back on the USS Bainbridge. The Navy Commander and US Navy SEALs decisively engaged the pirates killing three and capturing one. Not surprisingly Obama and his administration are lining up to take credit and claim they gave the green light for action over and over again during the last 72 hours. As a matter of fact he is claiming he gave it twice. I guess it's twice because they want to emphasize that point. Why am I so skeptical?
Is it his comments about how we can't do anything by ourselves and have to only act with allies?
Is it his comments today that we must work only with allies to stem pirates?
Is it his indecisiveness with everything and playing to whatever crowd is present?
Is it his comments during the world apology tour?
Maybe it's that fact that the FBI was flown in to negotiate. Whats the matter you don't trust the military to handle it?
It's probably all of them. If this went badly he would have been claiming we needed to talk longer. Since it went well, they are immediately trying to take credit. Either way I'm not buying it.
By the way, he also said that he didn't bow.
