Congratulations, President Obama. The military successfully rescued the captain of the Maersk Alabama from the Somali pirates. I have pledged to be fair to you, and I believe you deserve credit for a successful military operation. Well done.
I do not think this would have ended well for the United States if it had ended any other way. A negotiated exchange would have made us look weak. An unsuccessful rescue attempt would have made us look inept. The successful mission made us look like we are a mighty nation that will continue to stand up to terroristic acts as we have done since 9/11.
Thank you, sir.
