How Obama actually delayed pirate rescue SEAL team deployment stalled 36 hours  | | | | When Captain Philips was rescued post when up in praise of Barack Obama for his decission making,I was reserved because I wanted to hear from the military and captian himself. I listened to the captain very first interview after he was rescued by our United State Navy Seals the best in all the world,it left me with one big question,I never heard once during his interview any thanks to the president directly and that puzzled me because I had read the posts praising Barack Obama for the awesome rescue of the captian. The captain numbers of times praised and thanked our milatary for his rescue,reports are coming out that Obama actually caused the delay in saving the life of the captian,so much so the captian jumped into the ocean so the Navy Seals could get a clean shot at his captures. The red phone rang at 3 A.M.and reading this article below time that was actually wasted in rescuing the captain very well could had cost Captain Phillips his life,after reading the article please leave your comment (FULL STORY AT LINK BELOW) WASHINGTON – While Barack Obama is basking in praise for his "decisive" handling of the Somali pirate attack on a merchant ship in the India Ocean, reliable military sources close to the scene are painting a much different picture of the incident – accusing the president of employing restrictive rules of engagement that actually hampered the rescue of Capt. Richard Phillips and extended the drama at sea for days. Multiple opportunities to free the captain of the Maersk Alabama from three young pirates were missed, these sources say – all because a Navy SEAL team was not immediately ordered to the scene and then forced to operate under strict, non-lethal rules of engagement. They say the response duty office at the Pentagon was initially unwilling to grant an order to use lethal force to rescue Phillips. They also report the White House refused to authorize deployment of a Navy SEAL team to the location for 36 hours, despite the recommendation of the on-scene commander. The White House also turned down two rescue plans offered up by the Seal commander on the scene and the captain of the USS Bainbridge. http://www.worldnetdaily.... | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | This is not necessarily directed at you, James, but I didn't want my comments to end up way down below and folks need to THINK and stop buying every piece of hype that pops up on the web. The Bainbridge was the closest Navy vessel to the Alabama and it immediately headed towards them but it took time for it to arrive because it was 300 nautical miles away. The Halyburton and the Boxer were farther away but also immediately ordered to the scene and joined the Bainbridge on the 11th. Both vessels were necessary for a rescue attempt to be initiated. The SEAL team was on the Halyburton and the Boxer was a medical ship, capable of dealing with serious injury to the captain of the Alabama or any Navy personnel. The SEALS had to be deployed under cover of darkness for the protection of the captain so they went from the helicopter into the water and onto the fantail of the Bainbridge during the night of the 11th. The pirates were killed the following day. I do not see a 36 hour delay in the deployment of the SEAL team anywhere in the timeline of events unless you count the time they were in transit to the site. As far as missed opportunities to save the captain...the ONLY chance he had was if all three pirates were taken out at once since these people have established their willingness to kill innocent people. The "imminent danger" spin is just that...spin. While the United States wanted to rescue the captain, we certainly don't want to increase the violence by these pirates due to our actions. If anyone really believes the official story I have some beachfront property in Arizona to sell you. The real facts are that the snipers couldn't get a good shot so the pirates were tricked into allowing the Bainbridge to tow them to calmer waters...which also brought them closer to the snipers. I know how these snipers operate. Each one had a target and, once the target was in sight the sniper had one word for the on site commander. The instant all three snipers indicated that they had their targets in sight they were given the command to fire and they did. The Pentagon was not in charge of this operation. The FBI was in charge of negotiations because the preference was to take the pirates into custody with no loss of life but the authorization by the president, according to respectable news sources, went to the Navy and to those on site. | | | | | | | LA's #1 Civil Engineer 30 Years Of Experience.California Licensed Civil& Structural Engineers www.TheEdenGroup.com | add comment | | | |

| | Their is always two sides to every story..But when something like this happens the actions should be swift, and their should be no conditions put on the brave men or women that are going in to do the rescuing. Their lives should never be put in danger because they are not allowed to use force. | | | | | | | | | | Licensed Civil Engineer Efficient-Quality Services-LA Area Residential-Commercial-Public www.obandoandassociates.com | add comment | | | |

| | Obama may have been waiting for orders from another source. I have always said that he is just a puppet. I think that this just proved it! Shalom~Adoniah | | | | | | | | | | Local Barack Obama Office Find Local Barack Obama Campaign yellowpages.com | add comment | | | |

| | I heard at the very first that they were told they could not use force (FIRE) to rescue the captain. In other words, the SEALS were there and unable to do the job they were trained to do. Why have them there if they aren't able to do their job? I think the President and his crew need to stay out of things like this where they have no training and ability to judge what needs to be done to free the guys who are taken as hostages. He wants to RUN everything, and the military is one he has no experience in. Let the military do their jobs! From what I read in the report, it looks like the Commander on the ship and the Navy Seals took it on themselves to take out the pirates and rescue the Captain. IF so, good for them! | | | | | | | kennyrose (5047)

| | Hi Barb42 I'm personally not on any ones side,I'm on the side of truth period,It is stated in this article out of Washington the Captain saw a door open giving him time to jump in the ocean,it goes on to say the captains thinking as the human hostage the Navy seals had been unable to get a clear shot,so he jumped in to the ocean so they could get clear shots,he was in disbelief the Navy seals did not shot,he did not know the Navy seals was under a order from Obama and his unskilled administration in military matters to not shot. The captains life was in grave danger he very well could had been killed at the point he jumped in to the ocean angering his captors. The article said the Navy seals had two clear shots but was under the Obama's order not to shot the pirates,it goes on to say Obama's 36 hours delay put the captain in grave danger,the captain was in the life boat a full four days,so I took it the military was talking about the 36 hour delay after the Navy Seals arrived and nothing to do with before they did arrived at the Navy ship. Yes,from this report it was the Military and the Navy seals who happen to be the best trained in all the world took it upon them self with a loop hole Obama could not possibly closed on them, if the Captain was in imminent danger was the only way they could shot the pirates,the Navy seals saw one pirate with a gun to the captains back they open fire killing three pirates one shot each in the head calling it imminent danger,this action with out question saved the captains life. I heard the Captain and his wife speak at their first interview,I thought it was strange what the captains wife said the very first words out of her mouth was I have always been proud of my county,they both thanked the military and the Navy seals over and over and said they could never praise them enough but nothing really said directly to Obama,I thought that was rather odd beings the Obama supporters was slobbering praise all over their king Obama even before they know any of the details. The milatary,Navy seals and the captain knows what the truth is and if they are saying Obama drug his feet when the 3 A.M. red phone call came I will have no reason not to believe them. There are the 3 A.M red phone calls that take quick snap decision that is why our presidents are called commanders in cheif they must know how to react and do it quickly,no time to get Rahm Emanuel and Nancy Pelois on the dam cell phone. I wish Barack Obama had the interest of the American people far ahead of militant dictators and Muslim criminals.
