(CNN) -- The American captain of a cargo ship held hostage by pirates jumped overboard from the lifeboat where he was being held, and U.S. Navy SEALs shot and killed three of his four captors, according to a senior U.S. official with knowledge of the situation.

Can't be true Kola-- according to our ranchersnet rightwingernut experts you're supposed to blindly rush in all guns blazing before you get your ducks in a row (like a certain President who will remain unnamed did when he went nationbuilding in a sandpit)..... :wink: :lol:![]()
Glad to hear he's OK- apparently from the news reports his family has been aware of this for sometime....
MOMBASA, Kenya - An American ship captain was freed unharmed Sunday in a swift firefight that killed three of the four Somali pirates who had been holding him for days in a lifeboat off the coast of Africa, the ship's owner said.
A senior U.S. intelligence official said a pirate who had been involved in negotiations to free Capt. Richard Phillips but who was not on the lifeboat was in custody.

ATTEMPT TO RESCUE IRAN HOSTAGES
The episode reached a climax when after failed attempts to negotiate a release, the United States military attempted a rescue operation, Operation Eagle Claw, on April 24, 1980, which resulted in an aborted mission, the crash of two aircraft and the deaths of eight American service members and one Iranian civilian. It ended with the signing of the Algiers Accords in Algeria on January 19, 1981. The hostages were formally released into United States custody the following day, just minutes after the new American president Ronald Reagan was sworn in.

I guess the ones that were thinking "guns a blazing" was the way to go, were right on this one. Obama's/FBI negotiations didn't seem to work. They responded to the situation, much like the French did a couple of days ago to their own situation.
I guess we're back to the days of Bush, when you don't negotiate with Terrorists, you kill them (not try to arrest them).
The only guy arrested by the MSNBC report was the negotiator, that should promote further negotiations in the future.
Big Muddy rancher said:The title of this thread is misleading as the Captain was not released and jumped over board again giving the Navy a second chance to execute a plan.
I am happy the captain is a free man. Maybe this will give the major nations with a navys to get on side and deal with this problem.
And if we listened to YOU, it would have been handled as a law enforcement matter. Where all of the top brass of the FBI would still be jockeying for positions closest to the cameras at the press briefings. :roll:Oldtimer said:Can't be true Kola-- according to our ranchersnet rightwingernut experts you're supposed to blindly rush in all guns blazing before you get your ducks in a row (like a certain President who will remain unnamed did when he went nationbuilding in a sandpit)..... :wink: :lol:![]()
Yep, you tell that little lady to get her cute little butt down to the galley and bake those boys a nice big cake for a job well done. :lol:kolanuraven said:I can't wait to talk to my friend the Lt Cmdr ........ guess she was right after all. :wink:
Personally, instead of this shite slinging going on here...I'm glad the man is ALIVE..no matter how he got out.
