I had realized that our country has been horribly weakened since this past election. Recently, we've seen not only repeated blunders by our new President in dealing with foreign dignitaries and apologizing to anyone who will listen for everything the United States has ever done, but we've also seen our enemies become even more emboldened as they see how far they will be allowed to push the envelope (short answer: pretty darn far).
But now, I have officially seen the death of American power and of America's reputation. While the current administration sends in the FBI to waste time negotiating and allowing the Somali pirates the opportunity to reinforce themselves and make good their escape, France demonstrates that they know how to deal with this kind of crap.
It's a sad, sad day when the good ol' USA is shown up in front of the world...in MILITARY OPERATIONS...by FRANCE. Maybe we should ask them to rescue our captain for us.
At least the men on the ground in this situation (the American crew who fought back rather than take another one up the rear...the gallant captain who sacrificed himself so his crew could make good their escape, then makes a daring dash for freedom himself) still have that "Let's Roll" spirit. I think it's obvious that they knew, as soon as their ship was taken, that they were pretty much on their own. I hope that soon the US regrows its backbone and does what needs to be done here. If they do, I'll come back on here and retract this post publicly. However, to show what's more likely to happen, I have a name and a phrase to link for you, to remind you of a little history: Jimmy Carter and Iranian Hostage Crisis.
Are you hope-and-changers beginning to come to your senses? You think America was a laughingstock before the new administration arrived? How safe do you feel now???
