Capt. Richard Phillips - safe
According to first reports, Capt. Richard Phillips jumped into the
water for the second time from the lifeboat on which four Somali
pirates had been holding him for four days. This time he made it to
safety – possibly helped by US frogmen - giving the opening for the US
Navy to attack the AK-47-assault gun-toting pirates who held him.
Three were killed and one taken into custody. The captain was held
after his ship the Maersk Alabama and crew was briefly commandeered.
The rescue took place as the lifeboat was nearing the Somali coast
where Phillips could have been made to disappear. He is now unhurt
aboard the USS Bainbridge nuclear guided-missile cruiser.

Reports are that Obama (HNC), gave the order to use military to rescue the hostage.

In my opinion, the HNC is not intelligent enough to figure out how to give a proper
order. Yes, he might strut and primp as a pompous pimp, but give an order... give me a
break.

And, as always, don't let your children attend Louisville Technical Institute.
They've hired at least one dufus who once claimed to have a PhD, and who knows, there
may be more dufi there.

Somebody give you a bad blanket recently?
