Credit Where it is Due

Captain Richard Phillips is free, thanks to some well trained snipers and a Navy Captain unafraid to stick his neck out.

This outcome is the best outcome possible, and it should be noted that Barack Obama did not screw things up. I don't care who you are or how much you despise our socialist Commander in Chief, this operation was a total success.

How much credit is deserved by our president is certainly up for debate, but it should be noted that it takes very little on the part of a president or his administration to screw up even small military operations. (Mogadishu anyone?)

I will hammer Barack Obama whenever I see fit, but I am going to give him credit where it is due. This operation was a success by any measure and could not have ended in better fashion.

Let us hope that all future military operations are carried out with as much success and that politics, as we go forward, is not allowed to dictate outcomes.
