Caption contest: Barry and Hill at recess; Update: Obama declines again to address Somali pirate crisis

By Michelle Malkin  •  April 10, 2009 12:04 PM

Dayo Olopade of The Root snapped an exclusive photo of President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton showing America’s strength and resolve while tackling the pirate crisis.

In the war room?

No.

On the playground:

Caption contest time. Have at it.

***

Related: So much for restoring America’s standing in the world. The London Telegraph’s Gerald Warner dubs Obama “President Pantywaist.”

And from Exurban League: Obama’s reaching out to “moderate” pirates.

***

Pray for Capt. Richard Phillips. He made a brave midnight attempt to escape from the Somali pirates, but was recaptured as a US warship watched nearby.

***

Update: Obama still won’t say anything about the Somali pirate crisis.

Mum’s the word.

Or rather: Ummmm’s the word.

    With the Somali/muslim/community organizer pirates heading out to rescue their Bros I am HOPING the NAVY has a plan to take them all on at once.

    Hopefully, just hope, the DoD came up with a plan that He Who Middle Name is Hussein won’t scratch. I am listening to some administration mouthpiece state these pirates are NOT terrorist-just people with an alternative business model.

    God and the US Navy be with Capt. Richard Phillips and save him from this alternative business model- even if he is a Blue Eyed Devil.

    Stimulus Plan One AzN: Lumber, nail, rope, carpenters= 4 station gallows–hang the pirates with an alternative business model, hang them all that survive.

    Whatever this administration does to “resolve” this pirate incident will set a precedent in either a good, responsive way (hopefully by using ‘extreme prejudice’ as Alexader Haig was fond of saying), or by reestablishing the al Qaeda notion that American administrators currently in power, are weaklings.

    I understand that the other pirates are on the way with support as well.

    Easy fix…I mean, really, they are coming to their own execution if Pbo has any testicular fortitude at all.

    1. Set up a 5 nautical mile exclusion zone. Any vessel not cleared by the US Navy or any vessel that refuses to sumbit to boarding and inspection will be sunk. Period. End of story.

    2. Make use of UDT/SEALs to approach the vessel under cover of dark, incapacitate the people aboard with non-lethal gas. Capture all and hang them from the kingposts of the ship as the pirates they are making it perfectly clear that this is the fate of all who practice piracy on the high seas against any civilized nation. This is nautical tradition and within the jurisdiction of admiralty law.

    3. Establish a blockade of Eyre, regulating ALL traffic. Execute pirates as found.

    These cretins do not respect anything except force of arms. Now we have a President who is afraid to stand up to 4 pirates in a lifeboat, and will likely allow their comrades to join in the party.

    I have never been so embarrassed to say this is the President of my nation. I am counting the days until his term of office is over. I wish him no ill fate, but if he is legally removed from office tomorrow….I don’t think Biden the Liar could do a lot worse.

    Yes corona hostages may well die–try as we might to save them. If we do not stop this piracy more hostages WILL die, more ships will be taken and a large percentage of shipping will either stop or rerout away from
    Africa, Arabia and much of Southeast Asia.

    There are no good easy answers-in these situations sometimes the good guys die. It happens to policemen everyday. There is evil in the world and only good people can honestly deal with it. Sometimes at an ugly price.

    God Bless our fine Sailors and Marines now in harms way.

    Why should Obama address something like this? I mean, he’s supposed to be the Commander-in-Chief, after all. Guys like that need to handle banking, CEO pay, and flooding the economy with worthless money, not the security of the shipping lanes and our borders.

    What are we thinking that the PRESIDENT ought to be concerned about all of this international stuff, when he’s got Hillary on the job? I mean, she’s got EVERYTHING under control, right?

I’m rooting for the pirates because I’m desperate to see anyone anywhere have enough gonads to expose Barry Soetoro (aka Barack Obama) for the despicable sissy that he is.

    Big Hammer and Anvil: You are absolutely correct. These are supposed to be warships and war aircraft, and they are standing off to protect themselves against a couple of idiots with a machine gun or two at best. Move the damn ship within ten yards of the pirate boat and fly the helicopters real close to create a distraction. Then use the SEALs from underwater and blast the bums to kingdom come. Then way anchor and head for the other pirated ships as well as the pirate mother ship. Blow them out of the water. Then way anchor again and head for the beach and blow the pirate mansion or compound to dust and debris. Yeah, a few good guys will die, but the pirates will no longer be a threat to anyone for a long period of time. This has worked quite well in Pakistan’s lawless region, I might add.
