Very interesting article. To quote the end of it...

The bottom line is the president has a first-rate team of advisers and he followed their counsel in this hostage crisis. There will be many more tests to come for the president and his team, but the message from this event is that if you harm or capture an American anywhere in the world, you will pay a heavy price.

This may help clear up the image that he wants to hug the enemy.

Doubtful it will take more than one incident. And to me this wasnt as big of a crisis as it was made out to be. People take hostages daily in this country do we send tanks and armored vehicles after them? No, hell the pirates were teenagers they wouldnt have held out much longer anyway. |

Well, it's probably nicer than being shot in the face! Let's ask those three pirates. Oh wait...
Too much?

Actually, I totally agree with what happened to them. If you're going to take it upon yourself to totally disregard the laws of society and take innocent people hostage, you deserve to be made an example of. My comment was more aimed at how people are saying Gitmo is so inhumane, but I guarantee those three pirates would have opted to go there and act like it was Club Med if they knew what was in store for them!
