Only idiots would think this rescue was a problem. We should put armed security teams on deck to kill these guys everytime they attack .

[azas1949]

what else can you do when someone is holding one of your citizens as a hostage with a gun to his back?

[Laysoles]

Lols yeah he embolded them by not giving in to their demands, refusing to pay the ransom, and killing 3 of the pirates.

Oh yes he sure did show those pirates why to take American hostages. *sarcasm*

[kvjhedfbv]

Obama's actions did nothing to deter Prates, it emboldened them!

Pirates do not rise from the ocean, they are land based. The problem is on the continent.

Obama is handling these pirates how he is running the US Government.....it's a disaster!

[Laysoles]

Lol yet again you show you are a complete moron.

Explain to me how it created more pirates?

Please by all means explain that? How did it create more because all you are saying is "oh it created more just cuz it was obama in office and obama that took action". Which is stupid.

Those 3 dead pirates will remind other pirates to think twice before taking American hostages.

[kvjhedfbv]

Killing 3 Pirates did not end piracy and created more Pirates.

Obama did not solve the problem, he did not even place a band aid on it.

Americans are still in danger, yet Obama could careless.

Obama hates Americans!

[Laysoles]

Again you just spew out your bullshit but you do not back it up.

Only way you could say there are more pirates out there is if you are a complete idiot.

Because reality is 3 pirates are dead and the crew was saved.

So in that sense, there are 3 fewer pirates out there in the world.

kvjhedfbv you are nothing more than a complete idiot with no legitimate point, running your mouth on this board.

[kvjhedfbv]

Obama did nothing but create more Pirates, just like he is creating more terrorists.

Obama has never served his country and he knows nothing about protecting Americans.

Obama is a loser!

[Laysoles]

Obama has not created more pirates. You are just spitting out this crap with no supporting facts.

Obama did the right thing and thanks to him the captain and crew was rescued.

If you were taken hostage you would expect the same, not any of this "oh they deserve a trail" b.s.

[kvjhedfbv]

Obama has created MORE pirates!

Obama is a total moronic idiot!

[Laysoles]

Yeah and people have been saying that about every president the U.S. has ever had.

Obama's actions are justified. I am sorry the real world does not fit your completely niave views.
