Mark my words---the captured 21 sailors will be the Media's new talking point against Obama.

Fox is already writing the script.

1. Those goddam Obama pirates piss me right the fuck off.

3. Remember the Mayaguez. n/t

[Snazzy]

4. hostage drama ala Carter

would be the obvious creepy play they'll go for, day 1, day 2, etc.

That ship with the tanks, went on like 4 months I think. Of course with that one, maybe we got a story about it every 3 weeks.

And jah help him if he sends in a seal team and something goes wrong.

5. They will be on that like white on rice.

[KharmaTrain]

6. So?

That's like predicting the sun will rise or the pope is catholic. The last thing I'm concerned about is how a dead-enders network tries to slime the President and the country. It's so predictable and expected. They'll lie and slander the President over anything that they can...so it could be pirates or aliens or an attack by gummy bears, Faux will always blame both the President and the rest of America first.

I'd be more surprised if I heard them offer support.

7. Has it occured to anyone that he may react very quickly with a response Bush would envy?

What will the Republicans say if, let us say within 48 hours, he turns a major warship to steam to the aid of the pirated ship - rams and boards the dam thing, and takes it back. Something right out of Rambo and cameras running every damned minute. What would the asshats have to say then?
