“History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid” – Gen Eisenhower.

Why didn't the navy help him?

According to reports US Merchant Marine Captain Richard Phillips attempted a daring escape last night in the the waters of the coast of Somalia. The Skipper of the Maersk Alabama – who exchanged himself for the safety of his crew after the later took on and repelled the pirate- tried to swim to nearby destroyer USS Bainbridge. The pirates jumped in the water after him, and out numbered four to one the Skipper was forced to return to the boat.
What is troubling is that apparently the whole incident was witnessed by the crew of the Bainbridge!
Why is this man still a captive of that despicable scum! Why is the US Navy mounting such a half a–ed limp-wristed response to this?

There are ships en route? Big whoop! Who in their right mind thinks that a hostage rescue mission is mounted by a fleet of destroyers!

This is nothing more than a big dog and pony show to cover the cowardice of the Obama administration!

If this administration was serious about rescuing the ship or the Skipper it would have been long done!

Commandos don’t need to brought in by a fleet of destroyers and certainly not our maritime commandos the Navy Seals. They could have been inserted in by helicopter , or infiltrated by parachute or by a fast boat, submersibles etc. This would have been over in hours if they the Government would just let those boys go out and get it done. The SEALS and others, such as USMC have refined taking down ships to a science. And not just tankers but highly complicated and high risk vessels such as a would be hijacked cruise ship.

WHY ARE THEY NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE DOWN A LIFE RAFT WITH FOUR DIRT BAGS IN IT? WHY WEREN’T THEY STAGED TO ASSIST CAPTAIN PHILLIPS’ ESCAPE AND END THIS MESS?

Of course its easy to second guess but I have to wonder why the Bainbridge didn’t sink the life raft as soon as Captain Phillips was no longer on board and then just go over to pick him up. If the Muslim pirates didn’t want to end up shark bait they would let him go. ( then we should throw them overboard anyway but make sure we tied some chum around their necks)

2005, US Marines Practice "Taking Down" a Pirate Seized Ship

There are many options that would have finished this mes long ago. Instead we have an idiotic “show of force” that’s taking days to even get in position. It isn’t a show of force its a damn show of impotence!
Instead of a commando raid we have Hillary Clinton’s demented laugh at the mention of pirates? What in God’s name is that about? Americans are at risk on the high seas and an American is held hostage by scum bag Muslim pirates and she babbles incoherently about Morocco in between psychotic cackling?

As far as Obama is concerned , are you kidding? The Manchild is probably wringing his hands trying to get “ethnically appropriate” supplies to the “peace loving Muslim pirates”. Did he apologize to the Somalies already?

WHY IS THIS DEMENTED WOMAN GIGGLING and the slob standing next to her smiling?

  1. Obama’s 3am call came and he kept on sleeping!!!!Hillary laughs , while bill is off doing what he does best. NO one will respect the United States anymore, we have a Navy that is not allowed to save an american sea captian, from 4 punks. Thank you Mr Obama.
    We might as well just reach up and grab the tolit handle and pull it . We are going down the toobs. It is sad to see our country fall.
