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.(To read the rest of the story, click on the title of this article.)

Seems Mr. Obama deserves more credit for dragging out Capt. Phillips' ordeal, than for ending it. Too bad Mr. President. You had a chance and you blew it.

The Left just doesn't get it

Two days after the April 15th TEA parties, and the left-wing media and politicos STILL don't get it! Nancy Pelosi prefers to down play the TEA party as an "astro-turf" thing, and not Grass roots.

CNN prefers to see it as a GOP/Conservative/Fox News creation. And so it continues. I don't know what the organizers of the TEA party day have in mind for the future, but it seems obvious to me, they are going to have to do something else. It seems that getting 250,000 + people to show up at these rallies all across the country is not enough to show those in power that we mean business.

I hope that the organizers have further plans. This is just the tip of the ice berg.
