[quote=BubbaBass1;364602]I don't believe BHO made the call. I wouldn't surprise me if he apologized for the actions of the NAVY SEAL team that executed that perfect extraction.

Any basis for your ridiculous claim, or is this just more partisian bashing based on no evidence? Reports that I have heard and read have all reported that Obama gave the commander the authority to make the descision based on what he thought was appropriate. I have also heard no appologies, just comments that praised the SEAL's actions.

For what it's worth, those pirates were 17-19 year old kids.
I still wish they could have gotten the captain out without killing anyone.

I bet that wasn't what the captain or his wife was thinking!

Really? You think they wouldn't rather have had him rescued without killing anyone? I thought that was the best possible outcome of any hostage situation.

WHO gives a CRAP................I'd do the same thing here for all the THUG kids that carjack cars, or boost radios, or break into houses...............WHATEVER.
put a bullet in their head........much better than a jail sentence.
100 years ago, if you stole someones HORSE, they HUNG you from a tree. Steal a car, they practically give you keys to the NEXT ONE.
Get tough..........

Here in America, though, we believe in jury trials.
And even if you have a jury trial, the penalty for stealing or kidnapping is not death.
I guess if you're in favor of the death penalty for car stealing (without a trial, even), it's time for you to lobby someone to make that happen.

I'm for being TOUGH on crime...........not this mamby-pamby, feel good LOVEFEST version of being tough..........
AND yes, I do believe in the death penalty..........
I want justice to be fair, swift, and to the point..........AND if found guilty, and your crime is a SERIOUS crime........maybe not carjacking, but Rape, Murder, Kidnapping, Armed robbery with a deadly weapon...........the you get 1 appeal, maybe 2, and then if still guilty...........OFF to the CHAIR.......
We've gotten way too soft on crime..........Don't you think if there was a SERIOUS price to be paid for carjacking, people would stop doing it.........

I'm all for being tough on crime too (although I don't believe in the death penalty), but you said we should shoot people for car-jacking so I called you out on the punishment plus no jury trial.
Since you've now recanted, I agree with you on everything but the death penalty.
