Freedom for the Captain

Like everyone else I have watched to see how the kidnapping of Captain Richard Phillips would be resolved. I don't think it is any secret how much I disagree with President Obama on nearly every issue. I am pleased to with his handling of this issue so far. With no military experience, he was smart enough to defer to his military leaders, give them the leeway to do what they have been trained to do, and allow for a successful conclusion to this specific situation.

I have no idea what he will decide to do with the pirate who was captured, or how he will plan to address the whole "pirate" situation, but I believe you give credit where it is due. He behaved like an America President.

And KUDOS to the American military. This is the impression that the world should see: America is not going to allow this kind of tyranny. Period. Doesn't matter if you are some little squirts with nice weapons in international waters, some sociopath running a wanna be nuclear country (Iran), or a body of mamby-pamby diplomats with no teeth (UN)... you don't mess with America. Period. Not only can we deal with you efficiently, we have no hesitation when it comes to doing so.
