The Navy has eyeballs on the scene, BUT the leftist enablers in DC are in charge. When the Cap. went in the water, the Navy was probably under strict ROE and had to contact Wishington Demo Crazyland.
NAVY,
"We can take out the Pirates NOW!" The Captain is in the water and they are firing at him!" We need weapons release! NOW!"
WISHINGTON DC,
"We will convene an EMERGENCY

meeting, within the next few months!"
