Damn! Did those Somalian Pirates ever get it?! How difficult was those head shots? On a ship at sea, with the target bobbing around like that. *Yikes* Props to the Navy Seal unit that did the job right. Barrack Obama has passed his first test. O.O

We shall go always a little further,
It may be beyond the last blue mountain barred with snow,
Across that angry or glimmering sea …

I was pretty amazed at how Obama handled the situation. It wasn't the onslaught of constant reports. He just reported before and after the situation. It was just perfectly executed! Those Navy seals were precise, too! Only three shots - right on target and they fired almost simultaneously. Scary and yet cool at the same time...

My dad watches MSNBC practically all the time. He loves the Rachel Maddow Show.
Two words: Limbaugh's loco.

Matthews Olbermann and Maddow are all worth watching.
Lots of it never gets in the newspapers.

Maddow's hilarious! I love her radio show on Air America Radio (might be listed as K96 on iTunes).
You're right. Lots of this info doesn't make the news these days! People need to know the truth. After all, people should have freedom of speech. :D

This was very well done, top marks to the guys that did it.

It's a nice turn of events for the region in my opinion as so many times before the shipping companys negotiated ransoms for captured ships and crew.

With the other pirates captured that tried to capture a German Navy fuel tanker with a 12 man protection crew onboard with the aid of a Greek destroyer mabee it's a bit of a turning point for the region.
