"U.S. Navy Seal sharpshooters brought a five-day hostage standoff to an abrupt end Sunday with a hail of bullets that killed three pirates holding the captain of an American-flagged cargo ship."What a great outcome. The hero, Captain Phillips, freed by heroic Navy Seals. Three pirate scumbags killed in the process. Congratulations to Captain Phillips for his bravery in sparing his ship and crew from this ordeal. Congratulations to the US Navy for a job well done. Congratulations to our President for giving the Navy the freedom to handle the situation as they saw fit.
Perhaps the administration will take this opportunity to recognize that it is a dangerous world out there. Instead of shrinking our Navy at a time when the world is faced with ever more unstable countries and regions, and when China is aggressively building up its Navy, perhaps they will reconsider what it takes to defend US interests on the high seas. And hopefully, this incident will help neutralize the reflexive mistrust of the military too prevalent among those in the President's party.
Now it's time to start cleaning out that nest of pirate vipers in Somalia.
