  • 0:47 is an interesting Freudian Slip. lol

  • Tom Clancy should write a story about the United States of America vs. the Modern Age of Piracy, the novel should be entitled "The Scourge Of All Nations."

  • For the Mo Mo that said 3 teenagers.... you just made my point. Those teenagers held Americans hostage with AK47 and were threatening to kill them. I don't care if they were 12 if they had weapons that could kill. You're trying to make the case they were kids... are you kidding me. That's exactly what i'm talking about... dam if he does, dam if he doesn't . The mission was successful. It's tragic that 3 PIRATES were killed, but holding people hostage with threats of killing.. what do expect.

  • It doesn't matter what he says or does. If you don't like the man, you'll find a reason not to like him, just like the Republicans. It's just a fact, face it and quit nit picken about everything. If something he is involved in is successful, it's because of x factor. If it's not... it's his fault... I'm tired of hearing people whining about, he didn't salute, he didn't wipe his feet off before he stepped into the White House, blah blah blah blah.... cry me a river.

  • Excuse me, please. I hate to disagree with your premise that this is the FIRST crisis since he took office.....have you forgotten about N.Korea's missile launch?

    Also, did anyone catch what he SAID???

    "We are firmly resolved to halt the RISE of PRIVACY in that region"!?!?!?!? REALLY !!!!! PRIVACY????????

    Stop swooning at the delivery and listen to WHAT he actually says!!!!!!!!!

    Can you imagine if Bush had said that??? SHEESH people, wake up!!!

  • Pimply faced kids? Those dudes were middle-aged! whats the life expectancy in Somalia? Those cats were probably considered old! But seriously in some of those wartorn nations they start em out as soon as they are old enough to carry a gun. i bet a bullet in the gut from a 16 yr old pirate hurts just as much as one from a pro. Granted the pro would be more accurate.

    What I want to know is who is the scruffy dude hanging out in the back? Didn't he know he was going to be on TV?

  • You're stupid...
