Saying "Mission Accomplished" vs. accomplishing the mission.

[ddeclue]

You might notice that Barack Obama is nowhere to be seen on this story. He didn't rush out and say:



Instead he just very quietly had the Navy actually accomplish the mission.

Isn't CHANGE a great thing?

1. A president acting Presidential?

What's going on here? How can a Commander in Chief issue an order and then not step up front and center to take credit for the military people doing their jobs? Hmmm, something strange going on here. Oh I know! We have a REAL President now.

2. Man non-American hostages remain. So if this was a mission, it's in progress. nt

3. Its not americas job to rescue all the worlds hostages

5. I don't agree.

This is a clearly unique incident and it is over.

I think it conveyed a very clear message that this shit is not going to be tolerated any more.

If there is a next step it will be the US Air Force destroying anything that floats up and down the Somali coast to put these pirates afoot for a while.

4. I'm sure something Bush

did last year made it possible to save Captain Phillips, lets see how Fox plays this one. My Repug neighbors were mouthing off this morning about how Obama was screwing things up already, this was his fault. Their solution was "nuke um", I said nuke who, they said Somalia. I said what about the millions innocent lives we would take? That doesn't matter to them we are Amurika we can do anything we want, fuck the rest of the world..

6. It's the difference between talking shit and solving problems!
