President Obama has had two opportunities in the space of a week to show the world that the U.S.A. is still the only mega-power on the planet and of course he stood passively by and let two third world countries thumb their collective noses at us. The first was the launch of the Korean "satellite". We have the equipment and personnel in place to easily shoot down any such threatening display. This is exactly what we should have done. President Obama chose instead to refer the matter to his masters in NATO. The gutless fuck should resign his presidency instead of handing our security over to the assholes at NATO! Then we have a ragtag bunch of Somali pirates take possession of a U.S. ship with an American crew. The valiant crew showed true courage and resourcefulness and reclaimed the vessel. The brave captain was taken hostage and as of this writing is still there. President Obama (I have to choke down a thraot full of vomit everytime I use that phrase), on the other hand has chosen to down play the military option and negotiate with the pirates. That will teach them! Any true American would send in a navy SEAL hostage rescue team and eliminate the pirates while securing the Captain. Then referring back to the first line of the Marine Corp Hymn, ie; "From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli". The Shores of Tripoli referring to the Marines landing at Tripoli and utterly destroying the Tripoli pirates that were the scourge of the sea at that point in history. Once again we should plant one of our battleships off the coast of Somalia, have them pound everything from the beach inland about twenty miles into dust and then land the marines to clean up anything beyond that point. Instead we get to endure the sneers and contempt of a bunch of Korean reds and common criminals. Fortunately most Americans are strong enough to get through this next four years of whining liberal fascism and then we can put a real man back into the White House.
