Thanks to the Internet, satellites, email, and sailors who write home, the administration and its willing accomplices in the liberal, Democrat controlled media can't hide the truth.

I don't rely on the internet and emails to establish the "truth". Especially from an unverified "rumor has it" copy/paste post attributed to some unknown military guy. I mean really, think about it, how ridiculous is that? But it makes a great story, fit's perfectly with the broader mind set to be found in the Lounge, so carry on and have some more kool aid...
Guns should not be the first solution, certainly not the only solution. If the Captain/hostage were a member of MY family that last thing I would want was the military to go in with gun's blazing.
This is fundamentally why we have a civilian that call's the shots over the military. The shoot first ask questions later views so often expressed here makes me glad the Government is set up that way!
I won't second guess the French rescue of their hostages, perhaps the timeline left them no other options? Most people say they done good,
fact is, one hostage was killed. Maybe they should have waited four days, or a week, or a month and rescued ALL of them alive. Maybe they had no choice but to act when they did? I won't be relying on some rumor and inuendo copy/paste/posted to the internet statement as a reliabe source for information to make that determination!
It's to bad a diplomatic solution could not be worked out, in both cases, military force was the only remaining and LAST (not FIRST) option.
