The story below shows how Obama's lack of response is allowing a group of Pirates to take full advantage of a Passive President on International matters. Imagine now how the North Koreans, Russians, Chinese, Taliban and more are all looking at this and saying, "WOW what a Wussie this new president is...now what can we do to take advantage of him too!!!"
US Navy should have already taken action by either going ashore with Marines and attacking the home base of Pirates, and or assaulting the life boat and rescuing the ship captain using Navy Seals. Now you have more Pirates showing up with even more hostages as human shields. It was a simple situation that is now escalating rapidly.
Oh and our president refuses to take any questions about the matter because he feels the housing situation takes precedence. Me personally, his teleprompter was not loaded up with responses to Pirate questions for todays press conference.
Let me ask you this...is this really CHANGE for the better??? Are we even a Super power anymore?
With Reagan, at least he would have sent a global message, "do not mess with a US flagged ship or you will have hell to pay!" Bush Senior he would have increased Naval patrols and forced UN to take action. Bush Jr, he would most likely started all out assault on Somalia with or without the UN. My point being at least action would have been taken, instead we have a president who refuses to take any action and the scenario is escalating rapidly!
Yes its true, four armed Pirates brought a Global Superpower to its knees!
I will now step off my soap box...
