Obama Delays Rescue of Islamic Pirate’s Hostage For Over 36 Hours

Well, by now you have all heard of the brilliant rescue of the Islamic Pirate’s hostage by the U.S. Navy S.E.A.L. Team.  The Obama Administration is trying to paint the rescue as being the result of just what an awesome and decisive a leader Obama is.  The Obama Administration and all his little lap dogs in the MSM are attempting to make the rescue appear to be on account of his split second decision making and bravery.  Well, like anything having to do with this false idol of the Left, you know damn well that there is far more to this story than what they are allowing out into the press, and that there is a great deal of things that the Obama Admin. is hiding.  It seems, according to the people involved in the rescue, that Obama is far from the “hero” that he and his lackies are portraying him as.

This was sent to me by a friend of mine just yesterday.  Please read and see for yourself just how this President cares more for the Islamic pirates/terrorists than he does an innocent person:

(From a Marine that lives just outside Coronado where the Seals train. He uses the Coronado Officers’ club.)

Having spoken to some SEAL pals yesterday and asking why this thing dragged out for 4 days, I got the following:

1. BHO wouldn’t authorize the DEVGRU/NSWC SEAL teams to the scene for 36 hours going against OSC (on scene commander) recommendation.
2. Once they arrived, BHO imposed restrictions on their ROE that they couldn’t do anything unless the hostage’s life was in “imminent” danger
3. The first time the hostage jumped, the SEALS had the raggies all sighted in, but could not fire due to ROE restriction
4. When the navy RIB came under fire as it approached with supplies, no fire was returned due to ROE restrictions. As the raggies were shooting at the RIB, they were exposed and the SEALS had them all dialed in.
5. BHO specifically denied two rescue plans developed by the Bainbridge CPN and SEAL teams
6. Bainbridge CPN and SEAL team CDR finally decide they have the OpArea and OSC authority to solely determine risk to hostage. 4 hours later, 3 dead raggies
7. BHO immediately claims credit for his “daring and decisive” behaviour. As usual with him, it’s BS.

So per our last email thread, I’m downgrading Oohbaby’s performace to D-. Only reason it’s not an F is that the hostage survived.

Read the following accurate account.

Philips’ first leap into the warm, dark water of the Indian Ocean hadn’t worked out as well. With the Bainbridge in range and a rescue by his country’s Navy possible, Philips threw himself off of his lifeboat prison, enabling Navy shooters onboard the destroyer a clear shot at his captors — and none was taken.

The guidance from National Command Authority — the president of the United States, Barack Obama — had been clear: a peaceful solution was the only acceptable outcome to this standoff unless the hostage’s life was in clear, extreme danger.

The next day, a small Navy boat approaching the floating raft was fired on by the Somali pirates — and again no fire was returned and no pirates killed. This was again due to the cautious stance assumed by Navy personnel thanks to the combination of a lack of clear guidance from Washington and a mandate from the commander in chief’s staff not to act until Obama, a man with no background of dealing with such issues and no track record of decisiveness, decided that any outcome other than a “peaceful solution” would be acceptable.

After taking fire from the Somali kidnappers again Saturday night, the on scene commander decided he’d had enough.

Keeping his authority to act in the case of a clear and present danger to the hostage’s
life and having heard nothing from Washington since yet another request to mount a rescue operation had been denied the day before, the Navy officer, Commander Frank Castellano, — unnamed in most media reports to date — decided the AK47 one captor had leveled at Philips’ back was a threat to the hostage’s life and ordered the NSWC team to take their shots.

Three rounds downrange later, all three brigands became enemy KIA and Philips was safe.

There is upside, downside, and spinside to the series of events over the last week that culminated in yesterday’s dramatic rescue of an American hostage.

Almost immediately following word of the rescue, the Obama administration and its supporters claimed victory against pirates in the Indian Ocean and [1] declared that the dramatic end to the standoff put paid to questions of the inexperienced president’s toughness and decisiveness.

Despite the Obama administration’s (and its sycophants’) attempt to spin yesterday’s success as a result of bold, decisive leadership by the inexperienced president, the reality is nothing of the sort. What should have been a standoff lasting only hours — as long as it took the USS Bainbridge and its team of NSWC operators to steam to the location — became an embarrassing four day and counting standoff between a ragtag handful of criminals with rifles and a U.S. Navy warship.

Of course I can hear people who have begun to show up here from the KosKiddie syncophant playground and Gestapo Headquarters already going on about how none of this is true…how “Fearless Leader”, with his amazing lack of experience and knowledge was the one who saved this gent, how if it was not for his decision making abilities and blah, blah blah…which, of course, is to be expected.

Frankly, I read this myself and took it with a bit of a grain of salt.  While it came from a very trusted friend, one can never be too sure.  That is, until today.  It seems that it is now being reported by World Net Daily that Obama actually DID delay the rescue by over 36 hours, and that everything in said letter above is not only true, but that there is even more to the story than what is inside the letter. However, while the Liberals over at Kos, D.U. and HuffPoo will believe anything stated in any Liberal/Left-Wing/Socialist rag without question, as the WND is NOT one of those types, they will claim that this is a non-reputable source and thus cannot be trusted.

Then again, anything that speaks ill of their hero and false god will always be looked at as being unreliable.  However, look at what we know about Obama, and you can see that the truth of the matter is far from what the White House is reporting.

The U.S. Military has just had their first taste of what it will be like with this usurper as their Commander in Chief.  They have just seen how innocent people’s lives will be taken for granted, while the evil of this earth will be allowed all the chances they can get.  The S.E.A.L. Team had several chances to end this situation as soon as they arrived on target.  However, Obama was playing politics with human lives…not just the hostage’s, but the lives of each and every military member, civilian, and anyone else not a pirate/terrorist on scene.  He showed the world that the lives of these three Islamic thugs meant far more than the life of their hostage and/or the lives of the brave men that were sent to end the situation/crisis.

I really do hope that the men and women serving in the military, whether they are enlisted or in the officer’s ranks, were paying very, VERY close attention to this.  I hope and pray that they are no longer harboring any illusions that their Commander in Chief is anything more than what they already knew he was, if not more so.  I hope this will lead to even more officers…maybe a few generals and admirals…joining in on the current law suit by the officers serving in Iraq to have Obama’s files opened so that we can, once and for all, make his status as an American officially noted and allow for any and all legal actions to begin.

This nation has been placed in great peril as of Jan 20th of this year.  We have someone in the White House that would not even salute the flag.  We have someone who, by his own admission and that of his staff is not permitted to even run for the office of the Presidency, let alone actually win.  We have a person sitting in the Oval Office who has surrounded himself with people who have unapologetically stated time and again that they want the united States brought down from the inside…and now they have the person in place to do just that.  Everything he has done since taking office on Jan. 20th has been one step closer to destroying this country and all that has made it what it is over the last 230+ years, and he has sworn to do even more.

Do not be silent on these issues.  Go and sign the petition demanding that his files and records be unsealed and open for inspection.  Make sure your voices are heard.  Attend the TEA Party rallies and let them know that we will not be made into a Socialist country.  Do not fall for the Obama Propaganda.  Do not allow yourself to be bullied by these angry thugs on the Left whose only desire is to destroy our strength, destroy our wealth and leave us open and helpless to our enemies.

Let your voice be heard now, for even now there are things in the works to silence any and all opposition to Obama and his cabal.  All that they claimed that Bush wanted to do, they ARE NOW DOING and in a far larger scope than could have ever been imagined.  Anyone who speaks out against Obama, or who gets close to making his records available ends up being visited by U.S. Marshalls.  It is just a matter of time before this ends up being the Germany of 1932-1938.

Support the members of our military…now more than ever.  Let them know that there are actually people in this country that are not buying into the lie, that we aren’t all brainwashed minions of the Left.  Stand up for them, because it is now very clear that things are worse for them now then even under Carter or Clinton.  They are all that stands between us and the destrction of our enemies…foreign AND domestic.

Speak up now…for tomorrow you may be paying the price for your silence.

  1. Thank you for this information. Having trouble getting a “friend” to even listen to my questions about Obama. I feel over whelmed about our country under this guy’s power.

    Again, thank you and our military.
