I don't get to say this often but, "Kudos Mr President", your decision to let the Seals take out those Somali pirates was the correct one. Those 3 shots heard round the horn of Africa sent a simple and clear message ... you mess with our citizens ... you pay a steep price. This is the kind of message that I the world expected of a Ronald Reagan ... and it is very refreshing indeed to get it from a Barrack Obama.
I've been listening to the pundits for the last day or so, and there seems to be a consensus that the President's actions were to appease the conservative and pro national defense moderates in the country, but I say ... "So What???" A right decision reached for the wrong reasons is still a right decision.
Now be careful Mr. President, there will be a gnawing feeling in your gut to apologize to the families of these maritime terrorists ... DON'T DO IT! Your actions showed strength, and we absolutely do not want to be viewed as weak by the world. If this was your international "test", you passed with flying colors. Any "extra-credit work" will only lower your grade.

Out of the last 3 1/2 month this has been his best decision. But lets be clear about it. He was "talked" into it. It would have happened 2 1/2 days earlier had he not of had to be pushed.
Anyway, it was a good decision to have the Navy Seal sniper team do the job. These guys are the best on the planet and it shows.
I heartily concur with your post.
Right action, I didn't like the week wait, but right action.
Mike ... You might be correct that he was "talked" into it ... but at least the President was open-minded enough to listen.
TP ... nice to see you again.
Rev ... You have to understand the workings of the Liberal mind. A week to make a decision is moving at light-speed.
*sigh* ... Waiting for his first 100 days to be over.
