Call me a cynic but I am not buying the Obama gang’s preening and gloating about the Navy Seal sniper shooting of the Somali pirates.
We know President Empty-suit is a political opportunist; he didn’t rise up from the dirty Chicago political scene to the presidency, hardly passing go, by using honesty and ethics. He is a pacifist wimp who avoids taking any action that would put him in an unfavorable light and prefers negotiation and reliance upon the UN to tackle any thorny issues. One need not be a political scientist to envision the scenario: the Obama bunch, not about to venture out on any risky limbs, has been hanging back for a few days since the Somalians took the American captain hostage, avoiding making any strong statements about our country’s response. They obviously advised the Naval Chief of Staff that, given the right opportunity, the Navy should take action free the American captain. This provided deniability, a condition that President Empty-suit is never without, so that, if the sniper operation failed, they could censure the Navy for its poor judgment. If successful, Obama, with the help of his lapdog press, could smile the big Obama smile and take all the credit for instructing the Navy to perform the operation.
Let us see how our neo-macho president handles the piracy problem in the near future; I read that in the past two days, upset over the disrespect of the American challenge, the Somalians have stepped up their activity and hijacked four more ships and attacked another that managed to escape.
