Obama was going to send the FBI to the Maersk Alabama scene to negotiate with the Pirates....the on-site Commander used his ROE's to remedy the situation by turning the SEAL's loose. A few rifle shots to the heads of the Pirates and the Alabama Captain was a free Man.
Bravo Zulu to the SEAL's and the Naval Officer with a pair of balls!
