Why Is This Man Still A Hostage?

Captain Richard Phillips jumped over the side of the life raft last night. I would expect any of us would try the same. He was unfortunately recaptured which does not necessarily reflect negatively on him.

But why is he still there?

Because Barack Hussein Obama is the wrong kind of man for the job.

The proper response to this would have been that a Seal Team went in a submarine last night and popped up all around the life boat. There would be 6 seconds of submachine gun fire and then Captain Phillips would be shaking hands and slapping Seals on the back.

In international waters, you shoot a pirate dead and throw him into the drink. There, done.

Instead we have ships on the way and FBI negotiators are involved. Pirate ships are on the way to reinforce their faithful muslim Somali Pirate brethren. I give you even odds of seeing President Obama so badly bungle this situation that the good Captain is put on board a pirate ship and trucked back to Somalia, possibly followed by a botched rescue hampered by [deleted] rules of engagement.
