Navy Seals to the Rescue!

[ASJChaotic]

hope this was sarcastic... cause the hippy dems want to do away with the US military!!!   

if we didn't invade countries and start a war with everybody and at the same time no body
we wouldn't need a huge army 
terrorism is not a group of people, it's an action
you can't start a war on "terrorism"  like georgie did
that is why Obama has never used the term "war on terrorism" lol
how are you going to win a war against an unknown enemy?
you are basically sitting in the country of other people and taking hits

You've got boats from several countries fishing in Somali territorial waters and paying zero consideration to the people of that nation.

The pirates merely want cash and it could certainly be argued that Somalia deserves that money.

With these killings, however, I do now fear for the lives of commercial crews.

[dr.chimps]

In other words, these pirates are just victims of their upbringing!

Thank Heavens! I thought no one would bring up moral relativism. Thanks, Hank! Now this thread can really go off the rails.

you cant be serious

What's the story behind that? Got a link? Did Bush purposely target innocents or was it an accident?

Can we contrast that with Al Qaeda who purposely targets innocents as a matter of course? And also beheads innocent prisoners?

I'm curious to know if Bush targeted innocents on purpose or if it was an accident.

it's not just one story, so many innocent people died because of these so called "accidents" that i have lost count
and i'm sorry i don't have a link, perhaps bigdumbbell does?

Terrosim:

1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes.
2. the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization.
3. a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government.

look at the definition and tell me who the real terrorists are
people of america are being terrorised by their own government
people of afghanistan and iraq are being terrorised by america also

That certainly is an injustice. Where's the U.N.? Where is Obama? Why is Obama killing pirates and not asking for a dialog about this unlawful fishing?

Just out of curiosity...if you think the U.S. wanted to kill innocents...

...don't you think we would've killed a lot more?

yah and so has everybody else on the internet  

[ASJChaotic]

where did i say the U.S. WATED to kill innocents?   

all i'm saying is make sure to target the real scum terrorists and not kill innocent people, is that wrong?

[daddy8ball]

So, by putting "accidents" in quotes...you really mean that in the full proper use of the word and you were not being sarcastic.
If you were being sarcastic, then logically speaking you were implying that the acts were done on "purpose" (i.e....wanting to kill innocents).

Do I have to spell this out?

maybe Somalis need to grab a rod and reel instead of a firearm then.......then your point can be argued.

out of the 90 ships pirated by somalis......4 were fishing vessels. they are not targeting fishing vessels trying to claim their water space. they are targeting cargo liners, oil tankers, and private vessels for a reason. its an easy way to make a buck!

now 3 somalis know how easy it is to take a dirt nap...


when Somalia starts to act like a nation instead of a territory of animals, the rest of the world will start to respect their territorial waters

What do mean Obama didn't want to negociate he just told them to waste them?? Isn't Maersk a private company? Just like GM Obama didn't have the right to negociate shit (meaning the firing of that GM CEO).

obama saved an american life by authorizing action.

imagine your uproar if he had said he didn't care about that.

[240 is Back]

hope this was sarcastic... cause the hippy dems want to do away with the US military!!!  

Obama's actually spending $80 billion MORE on the wars than Bush did.

[DeketheCreep]

[240 is Back]

lets get one thing straight here...


Obama had NOTHING to do with this... this was the fine US military, an institution Obama is trying to cut and downsize!

good job for our American military!

1) Obama just increased the miltary budget by something like 82 billion, and vowed to INCREASE our forces in afghanistan.  The argument that Obama is cutting spending on military spending is just plain wrong.

2)
Obama twice approved force...
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama twice authorized the military to rescue a U.S. captain held by Somali pirates and whose life appeared to be at risk.
Officials say Obama gave the OK on Friday and Saturday to rescue Capt. Richard Phillips from a lifeboat off the Somali coast. Officials say both times the Pentagon believed Phillips' life was at risk.

The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.


Administration officials say Obama was told Sunday of the rescue while he was in the White House residence. Officials also say Obama has phoned Phillips and Phillips' family.

Coach is against what obama does even before he does it, there is really no satisfying him
