OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!

Excellent!

I love a happy ending.

Captain rescued...three dead pirates with
one captured.
Sounds like the US Navy Seals made a move.


Great News......

How do you say "waterboard" in Nubian?

 

[nitesite]

Wonderful news!

This is excellent. With no details it is hard to determine how the results came about. I would be willing to bet that some real American Patriots grew tired of the "great ones" unwillingness to do anything and decided to take it upon themselves to end the nonsense.

Happy Easter Captain!

 

[roundgunner]

Perfect!

The question is whether this was a planned "rescue" or whether Capt. Phillips took advantage of an opportunity and jumped overboard and then the Navy opened up on the rest of the pirates.
In other words, did Capt. Phillips initiate this action while the U.S. sat on their hands, or was it really an actionable scenario set in motion by our government?
Hope some credible details come to light soon.

Awesome! 3 dead pirates, sounds like a good start. Let's go get the rest of them!

Does that US Naval Vessel have a Yardarm so they can finish the work? I suppose a 2x12 off port railing would work too.

 

[David LaPell]

Now that we have the Captain, lets turn the pirate mother ship into driftwood!

Yea, that happens all the time.

The US Navy just makes up its own steaming orders and missions.
You don’t have to like Obama, but do you have to be a Moron?

YES!!!!
Thank GOD!

God bless the captain and our folks that freed him. Now comes the hard part...listening to weeks of that witch from AR or the Chi-town hood take credit for it.

As one of the forum members (can't remember who) aptly puts it....I'm sure glad nobody got hurt!

THIS IS GREAT NEWS!!!!

Now...

Perhaps our current administration can initiate "meaningful negotiations" with the "moderate pirates" who are only "trying to make a living".
