Quit Playin With You Dingy !

According to the AP:

"..dramatic and successful rescue operation by U.S. Special Operations forces... left Obama with an early victory that could help build confidence in his ability to direct military actions abroad.."

First of all, this was not a rescue attempt ordered by National Command Authority (i.e. the President.) It was a reaction by the on scene commander under standard authority to safeguard the life of a hostage. To his credit, he did affirm the military's authorization to use force if the captain's life was in danger, but they already would have had that authorization as part of their standard rules of engagement.

Secondly, You got to be kidding if you are calling this a "military victory". Only the swooning media would consider picking off a bunch of peg legged swashbucklers in a life raft a military victory, and if this situation gives you "confidence in his (Obama's) ability to direct military actions abroad"....then you are seriously underestimating the "abroad" threats we are currently facing.
