Where the Hell Are the Seals?

Now we really know that we are well into the Obama administration. The Townhall headline reads, “Officials: FBI launches criminal piracy probe”.

The “crime” isn’t even over, and we are now going to do a “piracy probe.”

Where the hell are the Navy Seals? I suspect that I know. They are HANDCUFFED by the weak-kneed, lily-livered policies of the Obama administration.

Last night a brave merchant sea captain predictably attempted an escape from armed, terrorist, pirates on the high seas. Capt. Richard Phillips took an opportunity, in the dark, and jumped into the Indian Ocean trying to escape his deadly captivity.

Did we have a SEAL team in the water? Apparently not. Did the camera-equipped drones alert the brave Navy to respond immediately? Who knows?

We have the MIGHTY U.S. Navy surrounding this small group of four (or so) pirates. We have unmanned drones flying overhead. We have helicopters.

What should have happened? I don’t think that it takes an expert to know. We should have had a SEAL team in the water. They should have been aware that the Captain might attempt an escape. They should have been looking for ways to disable the little lifeboat, which is holding the mighty U.S. Navy at bay. They should have been ready on the ship to blow the pirates out of the water, when the SEALS confirmed that they had the Captain.

No wonder that the international community NOW refers to the United States as “impotent” , “weakened”, “confused”, “unprepared”, “powerless”.

Our Navy is bobbing around on the high seas, while the FRENCH NAVY rescues hostages from pirates holding them on a yacht!

Apparently the Navy does not have liberal “Rules of Engagement” from the “Community Organizer in Chief.” They will apparently have to wait while

Obama administration personnel “debate” the situation, and “mull over” the situation.

DISGRACEFUL
