While I'm no fan of President Obama, the right thing to do is to give him the credit for making the right decision to allow the professionals do their work. I still have my doubts that he would make a similar decision if put in another similar situation, but I hope I'm wrong.
As for the SEALS, I'm not surprised. They are highly trained and very disciplined professionals.
Now the issue is follow-through. Economic pressure needs to be put on the nations that either allow pirates to live on their land or fail to take effective measures to capture these criminals. For countries like Somalia, nations have to hunt them down and bring them to justice.
I have doubts about your ability to think.
Obama is smart and knows how to win.
Just ask Hillary and the Republicans.
I'll try real hard not to have any emotional breakdowns because you have doubts about me. Gosh, I hope I sleep tonight.
Obama is all about whatever will preserve his image. People like that tend to avoid risky situations. I fully expected Obama to take the safe way out and spin it as showing patience, avoiding unnecessarily risking the captain's life, etc.
Yes, he's smart and knows how to win. This isn't about being smart. It's about being courageous. I credit President Obama for going with a risky decision.
