And I'll in turn brush off your assumptions that the president was responsible for them not firing, and give you credit for having the good sense to realize it was likely the situation that dictated what happened and when. You directly said, and I quote, "Why did the Navy ship not fire on the pirate boat the second the Captain Phillips jumped off the boat? Why were there no snipers with nightvision that attempted to take out the pirate who went after him. The answer is because President Obama wanted no loss of life. Does he value the life of these thugs more than the life of one of our own?"

So you are insinuating the president values the life of Somalian pirates over his own countryman taken hostage, as president, and think it is silly to draw conclusions based on that?

Of course he didn't want loss of life, but did you consider maybe it was the loss of the captain he most feared? Nope, you assumed it was the pirates. How could anyone think he might be trying to save the pirates lives and be risking his own countryman for it. I know agenda when I smell it.

And I like you too BoomBoom, but don't agree with you here. It was a right wing spin on a bad situation that you bought into. No surprise at all Lyle took the leap either.

Now that the situation is over and turned out well, well yes, debate policy along the Somalian Coast, I agree it needs to be looked at, intervention should happen, force, w'e is required. And blame the real people responsibile, the pirates, and thank the real heros, the Navy, the captain, all others there doing all they could.

So yea. That.

And Lyle, c'mon, how can I take anything you say in regards to politics seriously? Don't make like you've never pleasured yourself in the parking lot of a Piggly Wiggly whilst listening to Rush Limbaugh on the radio talk of hoping the president fails.

Anyway, this concludes the youngblood clarity hour on the politics of spin. Always glad to help.
