Far from it. We are going “to continue to work with our partners to prevent future attacks” and “hold them accountable for their crimes.” When translated into normal english that means we’re going back to the status-quo once the situation settles down and the media shifts to something else.
There was a military plan put on Obama’s desk during this ordeal that would have eliminated the pirate threat in that section of the sealane and freed the 200 hostages currently being held by that group of pirates all while taking less than 72 hours from signature to completion. That’s what a real president would do, Obama won’t.
We have a hard enough time as it is trying to eradicate all the terrorists on land. What makes you think we could have taken out all the pirates. There is no way. And going in there guns blazing, well that isn’t Obama’s style. We are bigger than that now. That’s the point, we are trying to be above the death and *edited*. Find ways to overcome evil without doing evil within itself. Fire doesn’t really put out fire. It can only contain it. We need to find other means of overcoming *edited* like this, without making more people angry or simply bombing them to hell. “The people of Somalia are starving to death, it’s a violent free-for-all. Most of those living there have two choices… starve to death or find some way, legal or otherwise, to get enough resources to stay alive. Such environments breed things like piracy. Survivors will do what they have to to stay alive and keep their family alive.”
But again, I’m waiting for that brilliant military plan. Typical republican to take something good, and make it look bad.
