Wow, janem4, you GO! I love your posts! I love that the captain keeps hailing the Seals as his heroes! They are the ones who did the dirty work. BO only gave a command and that is his job, nothing more or less.

Some of the suicide bombers were teenagers, does that make the people they killed any less dead? They paid the price of piracy, get over it.
Clinton earned the title :Paper Tiger" for the American people, how long before BHO reinstates that title? He already has.

If that's true, then maybe there's hope for you after all.

I can't believe what I'm reading! I was hoping and praying that the SEAL's would save him. Thank you Jesus.

Before anyone writes something referring to killing the pirates and hypocrisy. Save it. I'm not that kind of Christian. The Somali boys will be judged righteously in Heaven. It's God's job to judge and the snipers job to set up the meeting. Good job.

ALL MEMBERS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY SHOULD BE VIGOROUSLY PROSECUTED AS MEMBERS OF AN ONGOING CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE!

Let's start with Madoff and the criminal who was in the Oval Office in 2000 when Madoff was reported to the SEC and they ignored him.

Oh, wait. Those are all Democrats.

As for the hypocritical fat boy himself, he has often said that, ?All druggies should be sent up the river."

Why...with his talant, he could be the Homecomming Queen of Cell Block D.

The only thing more pathetic than this half-wit's raving ,lying BS is the fact that anyone could possibly take his lunacy seriously.

Comically, our unstable conservative friends find any way to turn a rescue mission into a brutal attack on sweet, young Muslim children ordered by the President. And if that's insufficient, they start to manufacture what Michael Moore might possibly say in the mind of a Republican who's been sniffing glue.
This may sound outrageous, but maybe this banter could be about recognizing the agony the family went through, not to mention the captive, and all the training the sharpshooters had to to go through to pull this off. Maybe this isn't about the President being part of a newly dreamed up Liberal Axis of Evil - perhaps it's about Americans saving an American. And I'd bet a year's wages anyone reading this would be rather pleased to be rescued by the Navy instead of being killed by pirates if they were in that position.

Richard Phillips is a wonderful man, a true hero.

America could use more men and women like him.

To the person who thought they saw a bullet hole in the captain's hand (arm?):

"When Phillips was rescued, his arms were bound. On Friday, abrasions and scabs could be seen on the insides of his forearms. Asked what the high-seas hostage experience was like, he said: "Indescribable, indescribable." "

Guess what. I paraphrased that whole thing from a book he actually wrote.
