Remember Captain Phillips?

The captain of a ship that was taken over by Somali pirates? The one rescued by the Seals after DAYS of “negotiations?” The one the White House credited Obama’s “courageous work” for? Well, turns out his part in it was cowardly and obstructive. He insisted on having total control by instituting “rules of engagement” that the Seals could not fire unless there was “eminent danger” to the Captain. The Seals could have resolved it many times but for those restrictive “ROE.” It wasn’t until the Seal commander decided it was his decision as to the danger to the captain that the Seals, who had the bad guys in their sights, “took them out” and rescued the captain. The Seals referred to Obama as “Zero” in their report, and I think I’ll start using that term, as is fully describes this cowardly, but arrogant SOB. His “rules of engagement in Afghanistan similarly inhibit our troops over there, as they did in Iraq, making it almost impossible to do anything meaningful against the terrorists, and costing many good men their lives. As long as “Zero” is in charge, we will not make any headway against the Islamic terrorists. I frankly think he favors them and makes these impossible rules of engagement PURPOSELY to stymie our troops. (Just common sense)
