For once even I have to take my hat off to Larry Johnson- Even he credits Obama for the Sea Rescue
Despite his bigoted readership and the fact that he allows StromfrontSusan to post on NoWhiteyTape, even he has praised the President for his handling of the Maersk kidnap crisis.



If you had a chance to listen to the Admiral’s briefing on the operation it was clear that this is how the mission went down. You can bet your ass and your house that Obama would have been responsible and blamed if the operation failed. He was ultimately in charge. Whether you like or dislike Obama he gets credit for doing the operation the way it is supposed to be done. He did not get in the way and did not create obstacles.

Score one for Barack.

Much of their readership will never be anything more than StormFront Lite, but today, in attempting to educate the dumb rednecks he has now encouraged to write and post there, he has at least evolved to near freeper status.

This was a job well done by NAVY Seals. The President did not risk lives by trying to make too early political capital out of it or rushing in with a stupid attack now decision. This was an example of what supporters of Barrack Obama have seen for ages, a wise head able to make the right choices at the time of crisis.

Now more importantly, there remains the big issue of how to handle piracy that only now has become an issue in America - even though hundreds of ships having already been attacked in that zone and that is despite a giant International Navy force being there.

7. "there remains the big issue of how to handle piracy..." Shhh!!!!
Don't imply there is a big issue! Don't you know all we need to do is kill 'em all???? If you disagree and think it is complicated you will be ridiculed!

10. I love those who are demanding that the US sends people down there -
not knowing that almost every Country with a Navy is already down there. The pirates just sail past them.
