Obama, Pirates, and Navy SEALS

After the Navy SEALS valiantly saved Capt. Phillips from the Somali pirates that had been holding him hostage, Obama and team was quick to take credit. I believe the Navy SEALS are the best that the military special forces have to offer, but all Obama did was tell the military, "Do what is necessary to save Phillips."

But, at least he was willing to do that. Problem is, as long as we don't take a strong stance in that region, we will continue to have problems. Peace in that region will not be achieved until we take a strong stance, and proclaim that enough is enough.
